VISITORS’ COMMENTS.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —When certain delegates to the Empire Conference of Chambers of Commerce ventured to comment on local politics, there was great indignation expressed by our Ministers. It was described as “unwarranted interference with our domestic affairs.” No such indignation is expressed over the complimentary opinions of the Premier of Tasmania. Is the “interference” therefore only applicable to those who criticise? AVhile protesting against adverse criticism 1 notice that our Ministers indulge freely in that same thing when abroad. Mr Armstrong at Washington criticises and advises the U.S.A. on its method of handling disputes with labour. Mr Semple is indulging in much Socialist propaganda while enjoying the hospitality of Australia. He aso confirms Mr Fraser’s promise that his party will help the Socialists of Australia at the next elections over there. Surely this sort of thing comes badly from men who protest against undue interference with our domestic affairs, or doesn’t this rule apply to them?—l am, etc., AJAX. August 16, 1937-
