AUSTRALIAN OPINION. By Cable.-—Press Association.—-Copyright Received March 28, 9 a.m. Melbourne, Monday. The Premier considers that Mr. Foster Fraser's comments on the flaccidity of Australians are "simple nonsense." On the average Australian workmen will do as much in eight hours as the British workman in nine or ten. The Rev, E. Sugden, master of Queen's College, has no patience with a peripatetic journalist like Foster Fraser, who spends a few weeks here, and from the pinnacle of his superior detachment presumes to criticise. Mr. Fraser's libels on Australian youth, he says, are. injustifiable. When the man makes a statement that "Sydney stands for pleasure, Melbourne for business, and Adelaide for culture," it was ridiculous, and had nothing to recommend it except its epigrammatic form. He shows a superficiality and should not be taken seriously. Br L-iD-ir "•inlen of Trinity College, thinks there is something in Foster Fraser's strictures. An ambitious student at Melbourne University does not »work as hard as his brothevs in the Home Australian student 2 *eem to be lacking in the spirit of enthusiasm for national affairs.
