AUSTRALIA.

AN ENEMY CORPORATION

A CONTROLLER APPOINTED

Melbourne, March 26

Under the Trading with the Enemy Act the High Court appointed a Controller for the Australian Metals Company. Mr Justice Duffy endorsed tho appointment, and said he decided nothing except that the majority of shareholders happened to be Germans. Therefore the company was carrying on mainly for the benefit of enemy subjects. It was not suggested that the company had done, or would do, anything wrong.

The Defence Department has definitely decided that none of the officers of the permanent staff shall be allowed to go to the front.
