AUSTRALIAN POLICY.
THREAT OF ASIA’S MILLIONS.
NEW YORK. Juno 27
Whether the “White Australia policy” can be continued after the war lias boon questioned by two New ’i ork newspapers to-day. “Within a week’s sail of Australia are 500,000,000 Asiatics,” says the “New York Daily News.” “Within 10 days’ sail there are 1,000,000,000 Asiatics. But there are only 7,000.000 white Australians. Differences in pressure like that breed cyclones. If Australia has weathered tlie crisis it is largely because of American aid. But our Australian friends will continue to be in great danger while the teeming millions of Asia hang over tlieir slim population.”
The “New York Times” said: “One can only wonder about the 1,000,000.000 congested coloured folk of Asia and nearby white Australia, with so few people in it.”
