AUCKLAND, October 9
"What with durned Labour agitators and peanut politicians Australia is heading the right way for national bankruptcy," said Mr James .Hood, a* Los Angeles manufacturer, who arrived from Sydney by the Marama this morning-. . "God Almighty made Australia a doggone'fine country," said the visitor, reflectively, "but man is doing-his goldarlied .best to put..a monkey wrench into the wheel. Sure, they've not got a federation of. States over there. They're simply a lot of glorified tribes full' of jealousy. The people seem .to be. divided between those out of work and others living, on the Government, pension. Canberra is a white elephant. Public services are run at a loss, industry is prostrated and are trying to rule the roost. ' '"Yes, Australia is sure§a fine country," said the. visitor, "and I'm mighty glad to be out of it. There's one chap over there called Bruce, and, like the other chap called Moses, he looks like being the., only one to lead them out of the wilderness."
