"GERMAN-AUSTRALIANS." i I STRICTER CONTROL URGED. I I Sydney. August -26. In the Assembly Mr. Wade, Leader of the Opposition, moved the adjournment of the House, in order to call attention to the necessity for further limiting the freedom of persons of German extraction. He ! quoted a case in which an officer of l German extraction was only pre- ! vented from going to the front by the united protest of the rank ariri file, who refused to serve with him. In another case, said Mr. Wade, although two sons were with the troops, one as an officer and the other as a doctor, the father was strongly pro-German. Mr. W. A. Holman, State Premier, ;in replying. warned members against, making hysterical attacks against Germans as Germans. Internment was only useful where it served a military purpose. The people's main duty was to defeat the German armies in Flanders. France, and the Dardanelles. The motion was defeated.
