Liquor for half-castes.
Concern at Exemption Ordinance
Adelaide, Aug. 6.— A recent ordinance of the Federal Government allowing certain half-caste aborigines in Northern Australia to purchase intoxicating liquor was discussed today at a meeting of the Aborigines’ Friends’ Association. A resolution was adopted expressing grave concern regarding the removal of the restrictions against half-castes and calling the attention of the Minister concerned to a statement by Superintendent Stretton, of the Darwin police, that great trouble was being experienced because of the recent exemption extended to half-castes.
