Signor Labriola, Minister fo Labour, interviewed by a correspondent of the German paper “Allgemeine Zeitung, ’’ said: “It. is th” ate' duty to maintain order in the streets only so: far as private premises are concerned. It is open to the owners to take judicial proceedings against the workers. The Riot Act cannoro be applied to a thousand workmen. Besides, the workmen are armed, and intervention might lead to revolution. Guilt for the crisis lies with the employers.

If the owners decline to give up the factories they can bo compelled to do so because the general welfare must stanft before the welfare of the individual. ’ ’

Australia ,ilke Britain, is an island, but with an infintely longer and more vulnerable coast-line. Near hear small white population are the densely packed populations of Asia, which have acught the restless spirit of world. This la the'meaning of the very modest scheme which Mr Hughes outlined.
