THE GOVERNMENT AND AUSTRIANS.
TO THE EDITOR. —The statements alleged to have been made to the Austrian Ambassador in London by the Premier are, in the matter of truth, on a par with many of his utterances. In September, 1900, I took the necessary steps, to obtain naturalisation of an Austrian, who had then been in the colony about 13 years. Although everything was in order I have up to the present been unable to obtain any reply to my communications in the mattor, beyond that "it is under consideration," and so it will remain, I suppose, until either the applicant or the truthful Premier dies. This is only one of many similar cases within my knowledge. During the same period T applied for letters of naturalisation on'behalf of a Norwegian and a Hollander, and both cases were put through within four , weeks from first to last. And yet Mr. Keddou dares to say that the Austrians are not treated exceptionally! No doubt when the time camos and ho is out of the Ambassador's reach, lie will deny that he ever made the statement. —I am, etc., Edmund Mahony. Auckland, July 21, 1902.
