BRITAIN AND AMERICA
INELUENCE ON EMPIp TREND IN SOUTH PACIFIC United Press Association—By Electric Telecrarli—Copyright Australian Press Association. (Received 27th November, Noon.) NEW YORK, 26th November. The "New York Sun" in a leader commenting on American influence in Australia and New Zealand, said: "It is partly a matter of geography, New Zealand and Australia being much nearer America than England. American inventiveness and the practical application of its results is another factor. The Australian or New Zealand farmer cannot but be aware of America when an American alarm clock awakens him and an American sewing machine sews at his wife's requirement. A mutual interest in Pacific problems and similar democratic ideals further tend to bring Australasians and Americans together. Britain naturally desires to keep Australia and New Zealand purely British, and intelligently endeavours to accomplish this, but it is a question whether deliberate policy, no matter how assiduously applied, can do much to offset natural forces."
