"Trade Yea, Visit No”
Both men. accompanied by interpreters, were to have arrived in Brisbane on Sunday, and to have spent a month in Australia, visiting all’ mainland States.
The Federal secretary of the Boilermakers’ Society (Mr A. Buckley) said: "Apparently it is all right for China to buy £37 million worth of Australian wheat and barley, but it is no good' for Chinese unionists to visit Australia.”
