EFFECTIVE PROPAGANDA

LONDON, Jan. 26.

One of the events connected with the celebration of Australia Day in London by Anglo-Australians was the opei.ing of an exhibition of the products and manufactures of Australia at "Australia House." There was a large attendance. Sir Joseph Cook (Australian High Commissioner), in opening the exhibition, said it gave a glimpse of Australia's manifold activitcs wlijcn bade fair to bo as extensive and as expansive in the years to come, as those of older coon-tries of the world. The exhibition was intended to show British manufacturers the possibilities of Australia, in the hope that they would go there with capital. Australia wanted British money and the settlement of steady, hard-working British people in view of the enormous possibilities of trade, with 100,000,000 inhabitants looking across tlio Pacific towards Australia, and 40,000,000 more in the Dutch East Indies.

The visitors were much impressed with the splendid and comprehensive display, which included practically .ill the exports of Australia except moat pud fresh fruit. An attractive nov-Mry was some Australian cotton grown in Queensland, and also imitation leather and paper made from cotton waste. Hie manufactured articles included *oot*, shoes, woollen, furniture, saddlery, harness, canned and preserve ! fruits. The exhibition will be open to the public for some weeks. There is also a cinema show in the basement, the films depicting Australia's industries. — A. and N.Z.
