IN LONDON’S BAD BOOKS
QUEENSLAND GOVERNMENT. “REMOVE THIS BLEMISH.” Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received November 25, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, November 23. The “Daily Telegraph’s” city editoT says: “It is all to the good that tho Queensland Government should be reminded periodically that it cannot break faith without incurring the consequences. Mr Theodore certainly did not understate the position when he said that as a result of the agitation in London his Government might be forced to pay one per cent, more on loans falling due, but since he realises the position why does he not try to remedy it, and get rid of this blemish on Queensland’s good name?” The agitation in London is in consequence of the action of the Labour Government in terminating certain long-term leases of land, in which English capital was invested. Tho point at issue is whether a Government is bound to observe the contracts' of its predecessors, under all circumstances.
