The Australians claimed to be English in the Imperial sense. Australia was now enjoying renewed prosperity, but it would be some years before the old resolute optimism was revived. He emphasised the striking richness of Australia's resources, and said h« hoped ( in the near future that there would \be effective protection within the Commonwealth for n*anufacturing industries, which would help to attract population.
