NEW STATES
REPORT OF COMMISSION IN AUSTRALIA
Unued Press Association—By Electru Telegraph —Copyright (Received January 22, 11.10 p,m.) SYDNEY, January 22. The report of the Royal Commissioner (Mr Justice H. S. Nicholas), who last year inquired into the agitation for a new State within New South Wales, was tabled in the Legislative Assembly to-day. The Commissioner declared that, although no purely rural area could be recommended for self-government within the Commonwealth, he expressed the opinion that there were two areas suitable for self-government, one including the whole of the north coast of New England and extending south to Newcastle, the other embracing the whole of the central portion of the State including Bathurst, Goulburn and part of the Riverina. The Commissioner recommended that a separate referendum should be taken in each affected area, in order to ascertain the opinion of the electors, while the Government should make information available concerning the advantages and disadvantages of new self-governing states.
