AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND
SCAEES AND PEETEXTS
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—CopyriSlit. SYDNEY, July 26. Addressing the annual meeting ofthe Chamber of Commerce, Mr. A. Spencer Watts, president, declared that the fear of economic disaster in Australia had been replaced by widespread confidence. He went on to comment on the actions of the Government in unduly interfering in private enterprise. He instanced the strained relations between Australia and New Zealand, and said that one. of the most striking examples of the effect of the surreptitious shaping of policy by departmental officers could be found in the- relations between theso two countries. No one imagined for a moment that the fire-Wight, root-knot, and potato scab scares were anything but pretexts for inducing Cabinet Ministers to adopt what departmental officers conceived to be the best policy to protect local industry on tho one hand and for retaliation on the other.
