TOO COSTLY
AUSTRALIA AND GENEVA SYDNEY, March 11. There is criticism in Australia of tho cost of the international Labor office at Geneva, and the Federal Government has decided not to appoint delegates to forthcoming meetings. The salaries arid official expenses are said by a former delegate to be beyond reason. The cost to Australia is £IO,OOO a your, over and above the cost of delegations, and the general view is that nothing is gained in return—not even I lie satisfaction of helping the workers of other countries. There is criticism also of what is considered to be the tremendous official cost of the League of Nations. Australia’s contribution is £50,000 a year.
