THE FREER CASE
EXCLUSION TO STAND CABINET'S DETERMINATION STATEMENT BY MINISTER By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received November 17, 12.30 a.m.) SYDNEY. Nov. 10 The Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. T. Paterson, at Canberra to-day repeated with emphasis that the Cabinet was determined to exclude Mrs. Freer should she attempt to re-enter Australia. The report that he intended to resign his portfolio -was emphatically denied by Mr. Paterson, who declared that such a development had never been thought of. He added: "The ease of Mrs. Freer is being given prominence out of all proportion to its importance. It is heing elaborated in some quarters into a matter of Empire importance." The Daily Telegraph's Melbourne correspondent says that, according to Lieutenant R. Deivar, Mrs. Freer was excluded by the Commonwealth Government " because of personal representations by private individuals in Australia." He added that he knew a letter had been sent to a relative of his in Australia by an officer in India.
