QUEENSLAND'S FINANCES

LONDON, July 20.

In reference" to Mr. Theodore's Ja leading lAnglo-Ausfcralian financier," in the course of an interview, said: Any difficulty and loss of credit with which Mr Theodore found himself faced in London was not due #o any misunderstanding or prejudice on the part of financiers or Stock Exchange members, but to a widespread feeling of distrust caused principally by the passing of the Land Act Amendment Act, 1920, which the financial community of London regards as a breach of faith and a violation of contract. It isi unreasonable for Mr Theodore to say that refusal to lend his money is an interference with the sovereign rights of Queensland. The character of legislation in any country is the governing factor in its ability to raise loans in the London market, and if there a Government in Queensland ■which commanded Ihe confidence of investors here any money for a loan would be readily forthcoming.
