The credit of any State must suffer from legislation which failed to observe the elementary conditions of good faith. No one wished to interfere vtith the sovereign rights of Queetisland, or to see the development of this magnificent State retarded for lack of loan money, but if these sovereign rights were so exercised by tlie Queensland Government as to deprive any of the State creditors of rights on the faith in which they had been induced to invest money, the Government could not c6mplain if the result was to stop further capital going to Queensland.—Aus.-N.Z.
