SISTER DOMINIONS
RELATIONS AFFECTED DEPARTMENTS BLAMED (Received July 26, 9.35 p.m.) SYDNEY, July 2G In tho course of an address at the annual meeting of the Sydney Chamber of Commerce, Mr. A. Spencer Watts, president, said tho fear of an economic disaster in Australia had been replaced by widespread confidence. The president commented upon tho actions of Government officials in unduly interfering with private enterprise. He instanced the "strained relations" between Australia and New Zealand and said one of the most striking examples of the effect of the surreptitious shaping of policy by departmental officers could be found in the relations between these two countries. No one imagined for a moment that the fireblight, root-knot and potato scab scares were anything but pretexts for inducing Cabinet Ministers to adopt what departmental officers conceived to be the best policy to protect local industry on the one hand and for retaliation on the other.
