FREER CASE
SOLICITOR’S REQUEST dHANCE TO STATE CASE IN •' AUSTRALIA (United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright) CANBERRA, 25th November. Mr T. Paterson, Minister of the Interior, replied in the House of Representatives to several questions about Mrs Freer. He said: “I am still in communication with the Indian Government, and if further information comes to hand I will take whatever action I deem advisable.” Mr Paterson admitted that a letter had been received from a New Zealand solicitor, Mr G: P. Finlay, asking that Mrs Freer be given an opportunity to state her case in Australia to an independent tribunal. Mr Paterson added that the exclusion: of Mrs Freer had already been considered by Cabinet and any attempt by her to return would not be regarded as a new case for reconsideration by- Cabinet. He did-not think the public -interest warranted an inquiry such as was requested by Mrs Freer’s solicitor.
