AUSTRALIA AS IT IS.
a SIR GEORGE REID EULOGISTIC. By TeleerapU—Press Association—Copyright (Rec. November 11, 11.10 p.m.) London, November 11. Sir George Reid, High Commissioner for Australia, ae Mr. Joseph Chamberlain's guost, lectured at Birmingham yesterday. * In his lecture, Sir George said that every nation aimed at maintaining the integrity of its ■ national character. Therefore, without a thought of offensiveuess, but with a feeling of genuine respect for the Japanese, he maintained that Australians were justified in trying to reproduce a country such as their Homeland. The world-wide cry to-day was for cheaper meat, and when the Customs barriers were removed by the different countries Australia would have an opportunity of supplying the millions of Europe. The Commonwealth's progressive land tax would bring millions of fertile acres now locked up into cultivation. i. • Ho eulogised tho Australians' manufacturing, industrial, social, and political status. They had done more for the settlement of disputes by arbitration than any other country.
