AUSTRALIA’S STATESMEN
“TOO MUCH T'xVLK.”
LONDON, May 2.
“There are far too many politicians in Australia, and too few statesmen,” said Dr. Trower, Bishop of N.W. Australia.
“ ‘Billy’ Hughes, the only big statesman Australia has produced, was kicked out,” ho went on. “Australia’s seven Parliaments remind me of a comic opera, compared with Britain’s Tarliament governing seven times the population. It is high time that Australia had ouo centralised Tarliament, that will save millions annually. The democracy of Australia reminds me of taking a referendum in a nursery to enable the kiddies to decide what they shall be taught and who will be the nurse. The northwest was never a white man’s country. Indentured labor could be introduced with no risk of its gaining a footing and producing a half-caste race. The aborigines would develop into a useful people if allowed to thrive in their own territories unmolested.”
