“SETTLED WITH BIG STICKS”
SYDNEY, Nov. 9.
“When we have even the suggestion of a strike in Burma big fellows with, big sticks quickly flatten it out,” said Mr. A. D. JCicrrm rider, retired Burmese Inspector-General of Police, on his arrival at Sydney by the Nieuw Zeeland. “Wo believed in nipping such thing's in the bud. with a little gentle moral suasion,” ho added.
The Burmese, said Mr Kiernander. were, as a race, far too lazy to cause much trouble. The Burmese elections would tic held on November 15, and the one burning issue before the electors was the ' question of separation from India. The Imperial Government, lie thought, would decide the question on the result of tlie poll, whichever way it went.
