With charming simplicity ho asked many questions regarding Australia’s resources, products and staple industries. “Responsible Americans every w'heTc display the utmost cordiality to Australians and to Britishers generally. Their hospitality to my wife and myself was boundless. In every town we visited they placed motor cars at our disposal. “As visitors to San Francisco, Los Angeles. Chicago, New York an I Washington, we were inevitably impressed with the- constantly-increasing motor traffic, as well ns the steps taken to regulate it. “We saw plasterers’, joiners’ and masons* ears parked on building sites in Los Angelos.
