THE SOUTH AJFRÍCA-N WAH.
ME. BENT AND VICTORIAN
SOLDIEBJ3.
Melbourne, May 8.
In unveiling at' Moorabbin, yesterday
afternoon a memorial erected to the
memory of the soldiers who fell in the
South African War, the Premier (Mr.
Bent) said that he regretted that pre-
vious Governments had not kept their
promises to the soldiers who had gone
from the State. He would, however,
make it his duty to seo that the pro-
mises then mad© were carried out to the
fullest extent. It was all very well .for
I the Lieutenant-Governor to speak of the
glory of" the men who had gone to the
I war, hut he (Mr. Bent) would repeat
I that nothing would be wanting on his
I part, if he remained in office, to see that
justice was done to those returned sol-
diers. He would see they would get
the employment that had been promised
to them.
