NEW GUINEA
GOLDFIELDS PROBLEM (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright./ SYDNEY. March 17. An investigation of the charges by Mr S. Williams concerning mining ordinances in New Guinea is being fostered by the Australian Labour Party.
Mr Williams alleges that by the actions of Mr J. A. Baasely and Mr E. G. Theodore, the miners on the goldfields have been dispossessed ill favour of a large company.
The charges v/ere refuted by Ministers, whose explanations were accepted by the Party Executive, and Mr Williams’s endorsement for a State Parliamentary seat was ordered to be cancelled.
Mr Williams has since written to the Executive offering to substantiate his allegations; so the matter will probably be revised at the Labour Party’s Easter Conference.
