AUSTRALIAN INTEREST IN N.Z.
SIR CHARLES NORWOOD’S IMPRESSIONS (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON. August 28. “Never before has New Zealand been so much in the Australian public eye as at present," said Sir Charles Norwood, of Wellington, on his return from Australia to-day after six weeks' holiday. “The people over there seem to be taking more interest in our General Election than in their own coming referendum on Communism.” he said. .... Sir Charles Norwood’s chief impression of Australian conditions was that inflation had taken over almost completely. ‘There is considerable lack of co-ordination among the various classes in the struggle to check it.” he said. “Australia has been too much interested in its immense mineral wealth, even to the extent of more or less neglecting the development of food production from the land. It is extraordinary to find that in spite of mineral wealth there are also related shortages. Sydney is near one of the world’s richest coalfields, but still has more black-outs than any other part of the country" '
