On July 5th on the consideration of the Finance Bill, the abolition of the tea duty was moved. by Mr. 8. Holmes, who held that with a drop of 18.a, pound in the price of tea all wages regulated by sliding scale based on the cost of living would fall. When we come into power one of the first things we shall do is to abolish the tea duty, said Commander Ken worthy one of the Independent Liberals. Mr. Chamberlain warned anybody against banking on the early repeal of the daty. The tax must be retained for finan cial considerations. On a division the amendment was rejected by 848 to 45-y
QUEENSLAND'S GOVERNOR..
In an interview, Colonel Sir Matthew Nathan, who has been appointed Governor of Queensland in succession to the late Bir Hamilton Goold Adams, said, he was look ing forward with keen interest to taking up his new cuties Athough daring his milk tary and official career he had served in may remote parts of the Empire, he had not yet visited Australia. He hoped that his experiences abroad and at home would prove of some valde to Queensland. --Hs fait sure that he was succeeding to the Governorship at a moment when the State was about to experience a striking period of advancement. With its wonderful romarces he had no doubt that there was a great fature ahead of it. His only direct interest in Queensland hitherto was to study the defencer of Brisbane as a member of the Colonial Defence. Committee of the War 1 Office. He had met the Premier of Queens- land (Mr Theodore) since the latter had been in London. but had not discussed with him his impending appointment. He hope that an early opportunity would arise for further meeting with Mr. Theodore. The date of his departure for the Common- wealth was not yet red, but it was likely to be long postponed,
