STATE GOVERNORS IN AUSTRALIA
' NO MORE APPOINTMENTS FROM ENGLAND. Mr. W. MT&erson, the Victorian State Treasurer: recently interviewed Lord Milner, Secretary of State for the Colonies, and conveyed to him a message from the Victorian State Premier that there existed in Victoria a strong and growing feeling, which tho Government shared, that in future, instead of a Governor, the office might he occupied by an Australian Lieutenant-Governor.
Mr. M'Pherson eulogised the work nf the Dreeent State Governor (Sir Arthur Stanley), and made particular reference to Ladv Stanley's connection with the Ited Cross; but ho suggested that the Immrial Government should not appoint a successor until the Victorian Governn:ent had an opportunity of making further representations. "Victoria," he concluded, "considers that since the nrt,vont of the Commonwealth and the appointment of a Governor-General, the tmestion of appointing State Governors from Encland is on a different basis."
liOrd Milner, in replying, expressed his personal opinion that Lioutenant-Govern-ors would meet the. needs of the various States. He promised to await further representations from overseas beforo taking any steps in the matter.
