AUSTRALIA’S TROUBLES

ATTITUDE IN ENGLAND. PAINTED AS BLACK AS POSSIBLE. “ England hasn’t a good word to say for us, and they paint our troubles as black as possible,” declared Mr J. Felix Booth, well-known Sydney business man, who returned by the Orontes from a trip abroad. “ The postion now means that Australia will have to have men of a forcible character to represent her at the various commercial conferences held in London,” he said- “In my opinion we have had a poor lot of representatives and I blame political favoritism. “ i attended the Chamber of Commerce congress in the Guild Hall, London, unofficially, and, to my surprise, not one Australian representative rose to air his views and stress the real strength of our country. - “In future applications should be called for all such positions, and the choice should fall on the most suitabla man.” Bad Advertising. Mr Booth thought Australia’s scenio wonders were badly advertised. “ If we were only 8008 miles away from England we would be inundated with tourists," he told a News man. Travellers are helping to keep things going on the other side. I don’t know what .many in England and on the Continent would do without the tom> Ist traffic."
