AUSTRALIA.
LONE AND EMPTY LAND. HER CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT. BY CABLE—PBESS ASSOCIATION—COPYBIGHT LONDON, Oct. 2. Captain Loder, Conservative member of the 1 House of Commons for Leicester, in a striking article in the Empire Review, entitled “Australia, the Lone and Empty Land,” says: ■“While political development of Australia, along Radical lines lias been most rapid, it is the Radicalism of the Victorian era. Australia’s cultural development has lagged, and is still more strongly Victorian than would be expected. Victorian middle-class mind predominates alongside the highlydeveloped democratic spirit. High tea, plush upholstered hotels, newspaperless and cinemaless Sunday, go hand in hand with almost complete absence of class barriers and most advanced labour legislation.” Captain Loder went out to Australia doubting the wisdom of the “White Australia” policy, but is now convinced it should be given a full practical trial.
