PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE
EXCEPT IN AUSTRALIA. United Press Assn —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. DARWIN, June 13. Mrs Mark Foy, of Sydney, who has just completed a world tour, said she was amazed at the. prosperity seen everywhere except in Australia She motored through miles of cocoa, tapioca, tobacco and rice plantations and endless streams of water conservation in Java. She. marvelled, when she learned that forty-nine millions were living .peacefully and contrasted it ‘‘with my own vast country of emptiness.” She said she asked herself why we could not emulate Java. “W ecan grow anything they grow and, but for our wretched White Autralia policy millions of capital would be. available for plantations in Northern Australia. While Java is moving ahead, Australia, with superior natural resources. is heading for bankruptcy.” She added: ‘‘You will never made good on land in the tropics without coloured labour.”
