FINANCE PROBLEM. OF AUSTRALIA.

MEETING OF PREMIERS DRAWS UP PLAN.

Melbourne, Aug. 21. A conference of State Premiers at which Mr. Scullin, though, presided yesterday, and which Sir Otto Niemeyer, representing the Bank of England, attended, passed the following resolutions:

Firstly, that the State Govern- ment shall have a fixed determina-

tion to balance the current budgets and maintain balanced budgets in the future.

Secondly, the Loan Council shall not raise further overseas

loans until the existing short term in- been completely

debtedness has dealt with.

Thirdly, approval shall not be given to the undertaking of new

unreproductive works.

AMUSING EVIDENCE

IN COURT.

JADE “EXPERT CHALLENGED

BY SOLICITOR.-

The status and qualifications of un expert were called into question by the defence in a case-before Mr. Buttera yesterday, when a Chinese was charged with obtaining goods from the Fo Yuen jewellery shop, No. 296, Queen's Road Central, by means of false pretences.

The prosecution alleges that the man called at the shop on August 5, and by mentioning the name of a number of trades-people well- known to the goldsmith, was able to gain confidence to the extent that he was entrusted with a quantity of jewellery with the view to sale on behalf of the shop.

A pair of jadestone bangles, which he left with the jeweller by way of security, were subsequently examined and found to be not of Fourthly, in order to secure the grade they were said to be. regular service of the public debt

The defence (represented by Mr. Horace Lo) yesterday disputed the evidence of the expert, while "de- claring that the goldsmith had ac cepted the bangles in exchange for the goods taken away by the de-, fendant.

Fifthly, the Commonwealth and State Treasurers shall publish monthly, in Australia and over seas, a uniform summary of the budget and revenue expenditure, the position of the short term debt, and the state of the loan account.
