AUSTRALIA ON ROAD TO RUIN
American’s Viewpoint
LABOUR AGITATORS AND PEANUT POLITICIANS
. BRUCE THEIR MOSES. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Oct. 9. “What with Labour agitators and peanut politicians, Australia is heading the right way for national bankruptcy,” said Mr. James Hood, a Los Angeles manufacturer, who arrived from Sydney by the Marama this morning. .‘ ‘ God Almighty made Australia a fine country,” said the visitor reflectively. “but man is doing his best to put the monkey wrench into the cog wheel. They have not got a federation of States over there; they are simply a lot of glorified tribes, full, of jealousy. The people seem to be divided between those out of work and others living on a Government pension. Canberra is a white elephant. Public services are run at a loss, industry is prostrated, and tho strikers are; trying to rule the roost.
“Yes, Australia is a fine country,” said the visitor, “and I am mighty glad to be out of it. There is one chap over there called Bruce, and, like the other chap called Moses, he looks like being' tho only one to lead them out of the wilderness.”.
