By Butterworth brought the proceedings tu a the passing of the Land Act Amendment; elow.

The following „26, this results :-- Act of 190 the Queensland Governmenta committed an act of bad faith. Hy the! operation of that Act they legalized the} breaking af contracts. In defense, of their netien they took their stand pop what they regarded to be the right of a sovereign State to mend or to repal any Act without reference to existing con- tracts. This dectrin is at once so novel and so revolutionary that the British in Vistor has every right to insist upon en- lightenment upen certain contingencies that might easily arise. If the present Queensland Government are firm in this attitude and confirmed in the implied view of obligation and sovereign right. what may not be their attitude toward eantenets generally, existing or fature? Why should any contract be observed if such observatice can be shown to be irk acme? What is to prevent the disclaimer all of their liabilities and obligations when the moment may seeni propitious? Upon a satisfactory answer to these questions must depend a continuanes of the confid- ence of the outside world and of the amenities which confidence aloj cau. bring.
