CLASH OF COLOUR.

AUSTRALIA POTENTIAL STORM CENTRE. (UNITED TRESS ASSOCIATION—BY ELECTRIC TELEGRA PH—COP YRIGHT) (AUSTRALIAN PRESS ASSOCIATION.) NEW YORK, May 21. The Liberty National Magazine contains an article entitled “White Australia-; the Low-pressure Centre of the Globe,” by Mr. Lowthropp Stoddart, who several years ago became sensationally famous by his observations on the race problem. “Australia is the focal point where the- extending forces of the East and the West confront each other most sharply and irreconcilably,” he say's in part. “It is the logical storm ,centre where, if potentially hostile forces should he unleashed, the hurricane winds of a race war would begin to blow. Let there be no mistake. We Americans will be in it, too. America could never stand by and see Australia overwhelmed by Asia. Give Australia; time and security from the Asiatic peril, and she ought ultimately to become a nation strong enough to guard against any possible- attack.”
