MR. BRUCE ON LAW AND ORDER
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—In your "News of the Week" (Septemb7. 26th)-you state that Mr. Bruce, the Australian Prime Miruster "made unflattering reference to the way in which the flouting of law and order have been submitted to elsewhere, i.e., here." Is this comment right ? Surely, Mr. Bruce was referring to the way in which some of the Australian State Governments have tanwly submitted to the dictation of the extselne Tstade Union leaders. Such an interp5etistion orthe cable messkiges reporting Mr. Bruce's speech would be far more in harmbny . with the reported context of his speech.
It is hardly fair to assume that Mr. Bruce intended any form of reflection upon affairs in this country.—! am, Sir, &c.,
AN AUSTRALIAN.
[We much prefer to believe that Mr. Bruce meant what our correspondent suggests, and on reconsideration we feel that our correspondent is right.—En. Spectator.]
