EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
A JOUKNALSTS' VIEWS. August 18, 10.15 a.m. PERTH, August 18. Mr John Foster Fraser, the English author and journalist, who intends to deliver lectures in Australia, arrived here by the Morea. In an interview, Mr Fraser stated that he will stay in Australia till the British Parliament meets in January next. He intends to oppose Mr Ramsay Mac Donald, Labour member for Leicester, at the next election. One of the subjects of Mr Fraser's enquiries in Australia will be female suffrage, which he favours, and is sure will come in England one of these days.. Referring to European affairs, the visitor said that as things now stand there was constant dread of an explosion. First there was the struggle between Britain and Germany for sea supremacy; then there was the Balkans trouble; and there was also bound to be trouble between Austria and Hungary when the old Empreor dies. He was not sure that an explosion would originate in one of the big Powers; it was more likely to come in the form of a Balkan dispute.
