FEELING IN MELBOURNE.

MELBOURNE, July 23.

T,he Federal Government is interested in the trouble, because some of the money voted by Parliament last yoaf has gone to different portions of the Immigration League. Ministers recognise that good work has been done by Dr. Arthur, but are inclined to think that he allowed his zeal to run away with his discretion. "Nobody," they say, "wants immi-' grants to come here in ignorance of our conditions." The Acting-Premier of the State, commenting on Dr. Arthur's methods and attitude towards immigrants, said: "I utterly disapprove any method whiqh will not bear the closest scrutiny. The position should be stated exactly as it exists, and then no new-comer can say he was deceived either by^ 'painrbrßg .things too attractively,<>r by snppress-

ing 'facts.
