(Received Ist" February, 11 a.m.)
MELBOURNE, Thi 8 Day. - Viscount Leverhulme, in replying to criticisms on his advocacy of negro labour for the Northern Territory, asks, it, as it is contended by his opponents, io is a white man's land, how it is that on the hundred and thirty-sixth anniversary of the discovery of Australia there are only seven thousand people ii. the Territory and over five million in the rest of Australia, though the Territory comprises one-third of the area of the Continent? .
He favours the employment of indentured negroes debarred from travelling South of the 30th degree of latitude, but in other respects having equal rights with the whites.
