A deputation of Queensland members, asking the Minister of Customs to continue the sugar bounty, declared it was essential for the continuance of the industry. There was plenty of white labour now available. If it was known that the bounty was to be continued, this would be utilised in planting. Nonextension would mean its passing into the hands of the Japanese, Chinese, and other aliens.
Sir W. Lyne, in reply, said the Government intended to extend the bounty for a substantial tercn, but he was unable to say how long.
