THE GOROWA CONFERENCE.
AN OFFENDED PREMIER.
ADELAIDE, Thursday.
The Premier has sent the following tele
gram to Air. Barton:—
I sco by the papers that you and the Premiers of
New South Wales nnd Victoria have promised to
attend the water conservation conference at
Corowa. I have received nb invitation or commu
nication on the matter, and strongly protest against
an action which attempts to ignore this State on
a subject which so materially affects South Aus
tralia.
To this Air. Barton replied:—
I quite agree with your view, and feel sure there
is some accident. No doubt you will be asked to
join, as the co-operation of the three States is
of first importance.
Air. Jenkins also communicated with Mr.
See, who replied that he had been asked to
attend, and the fact that the Premier of
South Australia was not invited must be
the result of an oversight. He added that
in all probability an invitation would be
forwarded.
