Abstract
FROM a Press cutting just received from Sydney we learn that Mr. Fisher, Prime Minister, Australia, referred to the forthcoming visit of the British Association in 1914 in his Budget speech on August 1. He said;— “We have been advised that about half as many more members of that association are likely to visit the Commonwealth than was anticipated when our invitation was accepted. This will entail an increase in the amount of money which I propose to give towards their expenses; and, speaking for this Parliament and country, I say that no greater compliment could be paid to Australia than fact that our visitors are to be increased in number. It is usual a year or eighteen months before the visit is made to send a representative man of the sam class as themselves to get into communication with them. We propose to incur that expenditure pending, the expenditure of a larger amount to cover their expenses.”
