EASTERN WHEAT DEAL.
REPORT OF COMMISSION. CHARGES NOT CLEARED UP. A. and N.Z. SYDNEY, Dec. 14. Mr. Justice Pring's report on tho Wheat Commission states that he believes that Talbot paid moneys for illicit purposes and that Georgenon knew what was being done, and was equally culpable, and that be deliberately refrained from giving any information and sheltered himself under an alleged loss of memory. Mr. Justice Pring was unable to suggest that Mr. W. H. Grahame's story was untrue, having no means of checking it. Mr. Graharoo became Minister in 1915, and was worth then £8000; in 1919 he was worth £16,764 sterling, No doubt the statement was true that he won big sums in betting, but the spectacle of a Minister frequenting racecourses and gambling in large sums was not edifying. t
