VERY PROSPEROUS
AUSTRALIAN’S IMPRESSIONS OF GERMANY. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, Alay 29. The Hon. J. McWhae, Victorian Agent-General, has returned from a European tour, in tho course of which ho spent seventeen days in touring Germany, Austria, and Czocho-Slova-kia. Ho found Austria poverty-stric-ken, and Czecho-Slovakia easy-going; but Germany was the most serious, the hardest-working, and the most prosperous country in Europe. Women and children were extensively employed in tho fields from daylight to dark. In Berlin he engaged a courier to point out the poorest people and the poorest quarters, and a prolonged search failed to produce evidence of tho existence of poverty, and even the poorest were well-fed and' excellently clothed, and unemployment did not exist. Referring to Germany generally, Mr AlcWhae said the people were tireless, industrious, and thrifty. “As sure aa the sun will rise to-morrow, Germany is eventually coming into her own again.”
