London, May IF. W. Holder. pre-
mier and treasurer of South Australia,
has sent the following cable to John
Alexander Cockburn, agent general for
South Australia: For 20 years we
have struggled for federate Australia.
At last we succeeded in obtaining the
peoples approval Now a dissentient
minority has proved superior to our
efforts on a matter important in prin-
ciple. but still vaster in sentiment,
with the result that all sorts of ques-
tons are re-Opened and the federation
of Australia is endangered or pOstpon-
ed. The imperial government follows
men who are the leaders of opinion in
Australia and throws aside the intense
ly considered opinion of its people,
The Australian Native Association
has cablcd to the Victoria delegate as
follows: We fear that insistence up
on the amendments may weaken I'M
perial sentiment"
Mr.. COckburn has issued statement
in which he argues that it is necessary
for the supreme judicial power in ter
ritCria1 question to be Australian and
not imperial in order that the consti-
tuition may live through interpreter
tions. as the constitution of the United
States is moulded by the United States
supreme court.
