AUSTRALIAN POLICY.
DEALING WITH OTHER NATIONS THE VIEWS OF A FEDERAL MINISTER. -- United Press Association. Copyright MELBOURNE, March . The Minister of Defence, speaking at a banquet;, said tliere were many matters whereon an agreement was required by Australia upon a common method of working with other nations. Considerable energy had been displayed in preventing the smuggling in of Chinese, but he altogether deprecated anti-Chinese feeling, which V-'ould work nothing but injury to "rtrSpselves. Australia was too proud and too big a nation ror such prejudices. The present Government was strongly .adverse to any differential treatment of any portion of the citizens of Australia. Though it intended to prevent as far as possible antiChinese feeling, the Government was determined that the immigration and quarantine laws should not be set at nought.
