SCULLIN'S BAN
BAD FOR SWINDLERS
LONDON, 18th May.
The export ban imposod by Mr. Scullin on Australian notes, and the banks' tightening of drafts' on London, are deeply resented by confidence men, who are finding the season very dull. The library at Australia House, which was a happy hunting ground in former years, has not yet.seen ono confidence trickster this season.
The glib-tongued gentry, however, are concentrating more hopefully on Americans, more of whom are going to London than in any previous season.
Up-country Australians used to enjoy an unenviable reputation for being among the easiest to defraud but even London confidence men are unable to extract bank notes from Australians now, because they do not possess any.
