Review of 1913.

THE TIMES’ ARTICLE.

MEMORABLE EVENTS.

The Times, in a special review of 1913, considers that Scott’s journals, which provide a matchless memory for the race, are the most memorable event, while the most striking Imperial event was the tour of the battleship New Zealand. In other respects Imperial work has been consolidated and has been promoted effectively though unostentatiously.

Another article, “The King and his People,” says: The King is known to enjoy a more intimate acquaintance with the people’s problems in the Oversea Dominions than any of his predecessors on the throne, and, indeed, than the vast majority of his British subjects, while he displayed no loss a devotion to the interests of the great industrial population of the United Kingdom.

PROSPEROUS AUSTRALIA.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.

(Received 9.55 a.m.) Sydney, January 2

The Daily Telegraph, reviewing the past year’s trade, states that Australia fared well. Trade was fairly brisk, and profits generally were good and in some directions larger. There was a record harvest, and an improved wool clip. Wages had risen, and where labor had not met full employment generally had itself to blame for the break.
