AUSTRALIANS ABROAD.
| " DOING COUNTRY HARM." lu the opinion of Mr. K. P. Walker, a. Sydney business man, Australians going abroad are doing their own country an inestimable amount of harm. Mr. Walker has just returned from a. holiday trip to Colombo. He said that in Ceylon Australians gave their own country a fearful reputation. They cried "stinking fish" about conditions in Australia instead of pointing out that depressed conditions were world-wide.. "Conditions in Australia are not nearly n3 bad as in Ceylon," Mr. Walker added. "In Ceylon thev can't sell their rubber. Furthermore, tea stocks are far in advance of requirements fur many years."
