GREAT OPTIMISM NOTED
Spirit of Australia NEW ZEALANDERS RETURN [THE PRESS Special Service] WELLINGTON, October 16. "There is no gainsaying the fact that in Australia all thoughts of depression have passed," stated Mr John Bishop, conductor of the Royal Wellington Choral Union, who returned by the Marama this morning, after judging at the Adelaide Competitions Festival for three weeks. "One is gripped by the intense thrill and earnestness of the Australian, who, with his perfect confidence and trust in his country, is springing ahead with fine surcness toward prosperity." Similar views wore expressed by Mr Marcus F. Marks, of Wellington, who also returned by the Marama. There were no signs of depression in Australia, he said. Everywhere one went were huge crowds all appearing to be enjoying themselves. He did think that with such a spirit prevailing, the country would be helped considerably through its troubles. One could not help noticing the spirit of optimism all through Australia.
