THE EDUCATION TEST, The moment the Federal Honse of Repre- sentatives had this issue befors it a remarkable and altogether unprecedented advance in national consciousness took place. Clearly, definitely, and determinedly the representatives of this great British continent, who, is the days of the Empire's need, poured out their blood and treasure in South Africa, laid down to doctrines:

1. That in the mutter of alien immigration Australis must be free to do as she wills-free to prohibit orea British Indians sporifically.

2. That to thwart the now nation in her sati. coloured alien legislation is to imperil the Im perial connection.

In & tentative, peevish way these doctrines have been urged before in Australia by isolated local Parliaments. On this occasion, and on this issue, however, the demonstration of their soundness was a national one, and aided by all- the dignity which responsible utterance by responsible leaders can give. With a scorn which was all the more real because it was partially concealed, the Government educational test was brushed aside by legis lators
