Hughes, the Commonwealth's one-time Prime Minister, in lamenting the fact that on a 2000 miles tour of Britain lie had seen in the shops little Australian butter and less mutton and lamb labelled as Australian. - v
Mr. Hughes expressed himself as convinced that Australia could sell annually £1,000,000 worth more of dried and canned fruits, butter and other commodities if they were better advertised and pushed.
He said he had no doubt that the best, is done with the available resources, but Australia must, be prepared to spend far more heavily to win the markets. Scotland at present made the best showing'of Australian products.
