AX UNEARNED LECTURE. By Cable—Press Association-Copyright. London, September 25. The Morning Post condemns the Australian contract provision with regard to immigrants. The Morning Post considers that the restriction handicaps industrial development. The country should not restrict immigration except on the ground of health and character. Australians wero setting up false ideas of comfort, and therefore were content with small families. Much of their natural energy was devoted to petty quarrelling over hours and wages. Mr. Theodore Fink, in reply, contends that the Australian workers are more strenuous than the British, and do more in eight hours than the latter in ten. The workers do possess large families. The wages question is not petty. Contracts are let at starvation wages in England.
