NO PARIS FROCKS
AUSTRALIAN TOURIST FARMERS DINNER IN MAYFAIR (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian P.A.—United Service) The Empire Marketing Board gave a dinner to the touring Australian farmers in a luxurious Mayfair hotel.

Amery, deplored the excessive urbanisation of the Empire, which had been not'd by the Economic Conference, an pointed out that fewer of the Empire’s 70,000,000 people were engaged in agriculture than were the people of France.
