ALL HAVE PROBLEMS.

THE VARIOUS NATIONS. AUSTRALIAN'S IMPRESSIONS. "There is not a nation that has not a problem." said Sir Samuel Cohen, a prominent Australian company director, who was a through passenger on the Monterey, to-day. He is returning home after a world tour extending over four months. '"Those that have no war problems—and they seem to be in the minority — have other problems of finance, unemployment and trade depression." he said.

The general position was by no means f. happy one. said Sir Samuel. He was in England in April, and fears of Kuropean aprpression were very real. Cables since then were by no means reassuring, and many people were inclined to take a pessimistic view. His experiences in America were happier ones. America had internal troubles of her own. but ran:r true. There was not nearly the anti-British feelinjr there was formerly. The majority of people were pro-British, and any feeling against England was confined to a very small minoritv.

Sir Samuel said that he had not discussed the Jewish question while abroad, but he had e not sensed any antagonism in England ard America. "Jews are a convenient race/' he said. "The antiSemetic outbursts are often a cloak that hides many things, and the Jewish people a-e made the chopping block."
