The Pacific Problem

* FRAUGHT WITH TREMENDOUS IMPORTANCE. AUSTRALIA’S ATTITUDE. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright Reed. 9.5 a.m. Sydney, this day. The Prime Minister, speaking at the A.N.A. luncheon, said the problem of the Pacific was a big order. We must always look to the Pacific with an anxious eye and a broad view. The problem itself was fraught with tremendous importance to this part of the empire, and he doubted whether any country would

or could rival the achievements of Australia. Could an' r other country say it had built up wealth amounting to £1,250,000,000? Mr Fisher, leader of the Opposition, said he never had any other view but that the Pacific belonged to Australia. Mr Moir said we should be willing to take up a determined attitude to control the Pacific, and say we must dominate that locality for the sake of the British race. , Tell roe not in mournful wheezes Life is but an empty dream, For the man is sick who sneezes.
