SAN FRANCISCO VISIT
Australian Prime Minister
(Received July 23. 5.5 p.m.)
San Francisco, July 22.
Mr. J. A. Lyons. Prime Minister of Australia, and party arrived here from Seattle and are leaving in the Mariposa to-morrow. Most of the Niagara’s passengers availed themselves of the shipping company’s offer of a rail passage to San Francisco in order to catch the vessel.
Mr. Lyons was impressed by the enormous new bridge spanning the harbour to Oakland, which will be completed in 1936, eliminating a four-mile ferry crossing.
When the train reached California Mr. Lyons remarked that it might have been Australia with its wide brown plains, distant hills and frequent clumps of eucalyptus trees. The Prime Minister this morning received a deputation of San Francisco business men and discussed trade matters.
Mrs. Lyons has begun to feel the strain of continuous travel and the changes necessitated by the Niagara’s mishap
