A.N.A. Conference.  

The conference of the Victorian  

Division of the Australian Natives’  

Association recently held at Hamilton,  

was distinctly business-like in tone  

and excited more than ordinary public  

interest. Previous conferences, such as  

those at Port Fairy, where the art  

union was slain, and Geelong, where  

imperialism had full swing, and at Bal-  

larat, where the Federal board 'pro-  

posal was debated for eight and one-  

half hours, may have been richer in  

debating power and oratory, but on no  

previous occasion has public atten-  

tion been attracted more than at  

Hamilton. The subjects considered  

were remarkable for their variety.  

The opening address of the chief presi-  

dent was worthy of the best traditions  

of the association, and in modest  

and effective way Mr. Freeman indi-  

cated how thoroughly he appreciated  

the true policy of the association in  

each department of its work.  

It was appropriate that Dr. Carty  

Salmon and Mr. T. Rust should move  

and second the resolution concerning  

Australian defence. Both these mem-  

bers, in season and out of season,  

for years past have strenuously advo-  

cated the establishment of an Austra-  

lian navy, built, manned, and con-  

trolled by Australians.  

The comprehensive resolution car-  

ried will lay down with no uncertain  

sound the wishes of the association,  

and show once for all that the associa-  

tion has in this regard both policy  

and purpose.  

The great question of water conser-  

vation was submitted by the chief pre-  

sident elect. Mr. A. J. O’Dwyer’s heart  

is in the subject, and as resident  

where drought is feared and water  

famines are regarded as due to.man’s  

improvidence, his countrymen expect  

him to sound no uncertain note during  

the next twelve months.  

The water question, of course, is  

the root problem for Australia. The  

other national questions all hinge upon  

it. Without water supply, closer set-  

tlement is impossible within the arid  

or semi-arid belts—and two thirds of  

Australia is arid. Without closer  

settlement schemes the population  

question cannot be rapidly and effec-  

tually solved. Without large increases  

of population Australia’s systems of  

defence cannot be effectively deve-  

loped. The conference indicated that  

the four great national questions for  

Australia were, water, population,  

closer settlement, and defence, all  

other questions are secondary and ter-  

tiary. The white Australia doctrine  

must remain theory until these four  

questions are thoroughly materialised  

on an Australian scale.  

THE HAMILTON CONFERENCE.  

First Day.  

The annual conference of the Vic-  

torian division of the Australian Na-  

tives' Association was Opened in the  

Town Hall, Hamilton, on the 19th  

March. ‘The chief president, Mr. A. D.  

Freeman, occupied the chair, and was  

supported by the directors, the presi-  

dent of the local branch, Mr. A. H.  

Frewin Lord, and the secretary, Mr.  

A. B. Wright, the ex-mayor of Hamil-  

ton, Mr. John Fenton, and the repre-  

sentative of the State Parliament, Mr.
