MANY WELCOME BAVIN’S RULE

STABLE GOVERNMENT SYDNEY’S UNEMPLOYMENT “There has undoubtedly been a considerable steadying in business circles in Sydney generally, and much relief as a result of the Bavin Government's assumption of the reins of Government!’' Mr. Will Appleton, a member of the Wellington Hospital Board, who has been visiting Sydney, returned to Auckland by the Ulimaroa yesterday, and spoke in no uncertain terms of the general relief felt by business men in New South Wales as a result of the defeat of the Labour Government. Mr. Bavin lost no time, he remarked, in bringing forward the measure, nowlaw, which has placed the city of Sydney under the control of commissioners. The meeting called by the Lord Mayor, Alderman Mostyn, to protest against the action of the Government, was a fiasco. “The feeling in the community is that the Government’s move in this matter is essential, and not before time," remarked Mr. Appleton. The Wellington visitor said that there was much unemployment both in Sydney and in South Australia, which State he also visited. “As a matter of fact, I believe there is more unemployment in Adelaide th in there is in Sydney,” he said. In one lot 3,000 men were dismissed from the South Australian Government railways. There was also every likelihood of retrenchment in New South j Wales. “I came to the conclusion that they • were experiencing over there what we i had six months ago here. As for un- ! employment in New Zealand, I do believe we are round the corner,” he added.
