GOOD WAR EFFORT IN AUSTRALIA
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, January 26. “Australia is making a good war effort. More noise is heard about the few who are not living up to the war effort than of the rest who are doing their bit, said Sir George Davis today. He is over from Australia on a business trip and is at present.nt Christchurch. His main interest is in naval building and repairs as chairman of the Cockatoo Docks .and the Engineering Company. Many recently built Australian ships have come from this company, which is concerned in the building of sloops, corvettes and destroyers. The sloops are named after Australian rivers, the corvettes after towns and the destroyers after native tribes. The recently-lost. Armidale was one of his company's ships and the Arnntn and Wanamunga, both now doing good work', were others. The company builds ships, turbines, boilers and engines and finds all equipment except armaments.
