AUSTRALIAN GOODS
Little Known in Britain
MR. HUGHES’S VAIN SEARCH
London, September 4.
Mr. W. M. Hughes, who is staying at Lord Carson’s country home in Kent, told an Australian Press Association representative that during an extended tour of Britain he had looked in vain for signs of Australian goods in shop windows outside London.
One could journey all day long in the fair-sized towns without finding a shop selling Australian goods, he said. Thus in Yorkshire they never knew that Australia was part of the Empire. Australian meat was under a cloud, and interested people would see to it being kept well under, whereas New Zealand lamb cut quite a respectable figure. Ho added that vested interests must be fought by the best men procurable, backed with adequate finance.
