AUSTRALIA'S POPULATION
“A MATTER OF WEAKNESS.” UNWISE IMMIGRATION POLICY. (Received 7, 11.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, Sept. 7. Archbishop Duhig, interviewed, declared that the present population of Australia was able neither to sustain the growing burden of taxation nor to defend the country, the vulnerability of which was causing grave concern to the Commonwealth. Japan had certainly shown nothing but friendliness but no man was justified in leaving his house unprotected because he has friendly neighbours. The paucity of Australia's population was a matter of weakness, aggravated by an unwise immigration policy which gives no encouragement to the people of Britain and Europe to settle here.
