THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL.
(Press Assn. — By Telegraph.— Copyright.) SYDNEY, May 8. Mr Carruthers, ' complaining of the treatment New South Wales was receiving from the Commonwealth, declared that anybody reading the late proceedings hi London would never know such a place as New South Wales existed. They had come to the conclusion that Victoria was Australia and Victorian statesmen represented the whole of Australia. Referring to the capital site question, there were two ways of settling the trouble, either for New South Wales to accept what the Federal Parliament had done and to agree to the Dalgety site, or" to decline to accept the proposal. The people of" Now South Wales were united, and there was ho. "compact-; which "could tie them to. the chariot wheels of any Federation. He desired to give the people an opportunity of saying at tho ballot box whether they were prepared to accept Dalgety. If they, were not satisfied with Dalgety, he would take further action, as it was never intended the scat of Government sliould remain unsettled for an indefinite period, and a junior state and a junior city should practically be looked upon not only as the centre of Federation, but jus representing Australia. The time for action had come.
