French, travelling representative of the Canadian Ford Company, following a tour to Australia, to determine thef economic conditions, reported to his principals that he believed Australian labour conditions were not favourable at the present time to engage m an extensive manufacturing undertaking, which, however, may he launched in the future. ‘
