...Critic Deems Taylor of this departure. But for the works august, sedate, all critics had praise. The chamber music of Haydn was the pièce de résistance.

But the patriarchal Premier has been experiencing much opposition both within and without Parliament. Ever since the 70 Croatian Agrarians consented to sit in the Assembly, in April of this year, the old Premier's position has become more and more difficult, and it is not surprising that he has decided to refer the issues to the country, albeit reluctantly...
