AUSTRALIA DAY.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27. Australian and other British Empire residents' of New York celebrated Australia Day at a meeting at the British Luncheon Club to-day. Mr Low was the guest of honour and delivered an address commemorating the establishment of the colony in 1788, and the declaration of the Commonwealth in 1901. The British Consul-General, Mr Campbell, who acted as the luncheon toast-master, read a message from the British Ambassador, Sir Ronald Lindsay, congratulating the Commonwealth. The club members applauded when Mr Dow said that, while on last Australia Day Commonwealth bonds were selling in the thirties and defaults impending, they were now selling in the eighties and nineties. The country was well on the way to recovery. He praised the Premiers’ Plan and suggested that America might consider accepting it. “Never before have Australians expressed with such emphasis, the words, ‘Advance Australia’,” he said.
