Unfavourable To Australian Premier
MR. CURTIN, THE Australian Labour leader, who on Wednesday gave notice of a question bearing on public administration and the employment of Government funds, and who was assured on Thursday by the Premier, Mr. A. W. Fadden, that Government was satisfied with the propriety of steps taken, made a statement on the matter in Canberra yesterday.
Last Saturday, Mr. Curtin said, a man called on him while he was still in his bed- room, bringing documents with him. These, the man said, were "worth while" if ques- tions were asked concerning the use of secret funds.
"I was amazed to find in these documents extracts from docu- ments which, from my knowledge, should not have been available outside the head of the Govern- ment.
"I showed them on Monday to Mr. Fadden who was astounded to read them. I also showed them to Mr. Menzies (the former Prem- ier).

BURMESE
RELATIONS WITH CHINA
The inter-dependence of the security of Burma and China on each other was emphasised by the leader of the Chinese de- legation, Mr. T. K. Tseng, at the opening of the Sino - Burmese negotia- tions on Chinese emigra- tion into Burma yester- day morning.
Mr. Tseng, who speech was read in his absence owing to ill-health, sald that Britain, Burma and China were “practically on the same Democratic front. He refer- red to Mr. Churchill's latest speech as showing an increasing rea:isa- tion that the southward expansion programme of the Axis partner in the Pacific was a real menace. 3)
Mr. Tseng said the present negotiations were another ex- ample of the, growing coopera tion between.. Burma and China.
The Premier of Burma, Mr. U. Saw, said that while Burma's pro- posals sought to impose restric- tions on new Chinese immigration, they had not the intention to im pose unfair or humillating condi- tions on immigrants.
He also proposed to: deal, gen- erously with Chinese nationals al- ready In Burma,. He acknowledg- ed the benefits accrued to Burma in the past from Chinese immigra- tion, adding that the harmony be tween Burmans and Chinese must be retained at all costs, and the best way of achieving it was by allaying the natural fears of the Burmans by Imposing an agreed restriction on Chinese immigra- tion.
