AUSTRALIAN STATES
LONDON REPRESENTATION.
London, Dec. 20.
“It would be a poor look-out for the Australian States if they were dependent on Australia House for representation,” said the Agent-General for Western Australia, Mr. W. C. Angwin. He was commenting on statements from Canberra, questioning the value of the States' separate representation in London. Mr. Angwin strongly rebutted the suggestion that Agcnts-General “transact no real business.”
"It- is most important for the States to retain their own representation if they want to do anyhing anywhere,” he said. “There is ample opportunity.”
It is understood that the report was discussed at a full meeting of the Agents-General, and that it was decided not to take any action or to answer private members’ vague statements. Sir George Fuller (New South Wales) said afterwards: “We view the whole thing as a mere recrudescence of the propaganda which invariably precedes a visit by a Commonwealth Minister to London.”
