“AUSTRALASIA”
$ PROTEST AGAINST USE OF WORD
Strong objections to the use of the term “Australasia” in relation to Australia and New Zealand, and references to the ill-effect it had on the Dominion, were made once more at the annual corference of Chambers of Commerce delegates yesterday, when the following remit was passed:— “That this conference urges. upon the incoming executive the advisability of an intensified effort in the direction of eliminating the use of the word ‘Australasia’ in Press, public, and company references to Australia and New Zealand, also that action be taken for the discouragement of the appointment of ‘Australasian’ agents.” The secretary read several replies from principal cities of Britain and America to a similar request sent out a year ago, but the most interesting declaration that the word would not be used came from the Australasian Chamber of Commerce in London.
