CANADA'S SYMPATHY
(Au3tralian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) NEW' YORK, 9th February.
A Montreal message states that the "Montreal Star," in an editorial, says: '' We in Canada will feel special sympathy for the people of New South "Wales and Victoria, who have^ suffered bo grievously through forest fires. With' the mid-winter in full blast here, it may be difficult for some to realise that summer isiat its peak in Australia. This terrible catastrophe will drive the fact home to Canadians, who know what forest fires mean, and will find it very ea»y to extend to their unfortunate consins in the Antipodes a liberal measure of sympathy. The Australian people are a sturdy race, who face misfortune with grim resolute determination to repair it with the least possible delay. The two States will no doubt recover from' this setback, and restore their former prosperity."
