VIEWS OF AUSTRALIA.

MELBOURNE, October 1. Commenting on the proceedings at Geneva, }, Mr. W. M.

The Rt. Hon. Mr. S. M. Bruce, the Primes Minister of Australia, declines to make any com ment, but promises a statement later.

The Herald" says Australia is not prepared to leave the fate of White Australia to foreign control; and adds that unless Japan abrogates her demand, Australia cannot sign.

The Evening-Sun" says: We are no longer a free people, if a deputy of the League can say whether we shall be allowed to keep Australia white," and adds that the desertion of the British delegates at Geneva is poor requital for Australia's priceless services to Britain in her hour of need:

SOLUTION LAYS IN UNITY.

LONDON. October 1. In the House of Commons to-day, Captain Wedgwood Benn re-opened the Irish debate.

Mr. Lloyd George said the government action

SHANGHAI, October i.

The House of Commons rejected the Ulster motion for the rejection of the Irish Boundary Bill by 291 to 124. Later the Bill was read a second time:

GUARANTEE BY THOMAS,

Mr. J. H. Thomas, Minister for the Colonies, in winding up, gave a guarantee that Government had not intended to and would not appoint a commis-- sioner, when the Bill became law, merely as a nominee of the British Government. He would try to find a man who would be representative of Northern Ireland.

He expressed his long-rooted distaste to the necessity of the appointment of a boundary com mission, which he believed would mean permanent partition and would prove ruinous to Ireland's. economic development. He declared neither of the Irish Leaders were unreasonable, but their positions were most difficult,
