“BLACK MAN’S COUNTRY”
BRITISH MAJOR’S REMARKS RESENTED. (Australian Press Association) SYDNEY, Jan. 7. A storm of press indignation has arisen in regard to the comments in an article contributed by Major H. C. Porter in the “Army, Navy and Air Force Gazette,” which was published in London on October 17th. and in which Australia is described as a “black man’s country.”
Major Porter’s comments are in the nature of advice to ex-service officers who are considering migration to the country. Major Porter appraises highly British Columbia, but says he sees a distinct promise for his brother officers in New Zealand.
Air Jas. H. Scullin, the Australian Prime Alinister, has expressed resentment at Alajor Porter’s remarks, but declares they cannot be taken seriously.
