Government, the Hon. E. G. Theo-dare, has resigned, following the announcement of the findings of the Queensland Royal Commission 0 Enquiry into the circumstances tending the purchase of the Mun-gona (Chillagoe) mines by the Queensland Labour Government when Mr. Theodore was Premier.
The Commission finds Mr. Theo-Jdore and another Labour ex-Premier, W. McCormack, and also Mr. Goddard, who was the mines manager at Chillagoe, guilty of fraud and dishonesty in procuring the purchase of the mines for £40,000.
Mz. Theodore, when interviewed, hotly denied the charges which, he declared, were the work of his political enemies. _Mr. Theodore made it clear that is resignation will only operate until the charges have been cleared vp.—Reuter.
