BAN ON DUTCH SHIPS
ECONOMIC EFFECT IN AUSTRALIA * (Rec. 12.15) MELBOURNE, This Day. “The maintenance by the Australian waterfront unions of the ban recently reimposed on Dutch ships, trading with Indonesia is having wider and more damaging effect than some over-tolerant people in' this country appear to realise,” says the “Melbourne Sun.” The economic effect of the ban is to cut off imports of sorelyneeded mineral products, tea, c'offee, kapoc, sisal, rubber and'timber, for which orders totalling £1,000,000' (Australian) were in hand, when the latest ban was imposed. Naturally tins’ impetuosity is welcomed by other countries, which have been able to obtain supplies diverted from Australia and have had opened to them excellent markets now denied to us. Melbourne commercial men have estimated the value, of the lost trade at millions of pounds. No estimate, of „ course, can be placed on the value of lost prestige.”
