RETURN OF MR THEODORE
“AIOST COLOSSAL BLUNDER” ANGLICAN JOURNAL’S CRITICISM In expressing regret at the return of Air Theodore to the 1 reasuresliip before the findings of the Royal commission on the Mungana leases had been tested in a Court of law, the current issue of the Church of England “Alessenger” says that nothing has happened since his withdrawal from office a few months ago to restore public confidence in him (records the Alelbourne “Argus’ ). “Until such restoration of confidence is possible, for the sake of his party and country,” the article adds, “he should refrain from active participation in the affairs of government. We have no antipathy towards the Labour party as such, and are ready to acknowledge the high standard set by many of its foremost men in public and private life, but this action has' done and will do more damage to the prestige of the party throughout the Commonwealth than, it has been possible to estimate. Surely it is not too late to remedy one of the most colossal blunders ever made by a political party in this country.”
