WAY FOR SETTLERS
When World Returns To
Sanity
London, December 15.
Addressing the annual meeting of the Orient Steam Navigation Co., Sir Alan Anderson said: "WWn the world returns to sanity and buys Australian butter, fruit, and meat instead of guns, the demand for settlers will revive.” He hoped the Australian Commonwealth realised how cheaply migrants were carried.
The Orient Line’s revenue from passengers, he said, was only two-thirds of what it was in 1928. They had hoped for recor'd traffic at the time of the Coronation, but at the last moment they had lost those who would have represented a margin of profit, travellers apparently having been deterred by reports of overcrowding in London and war scares in the Mediterranean.
