“SELL AUSTRALIA”
SUMMARY ADVICE GIVEN BY SYDNEY CRITIC MONEY TO PAY WAR DEBT United P. A.—By Telegraph—Copyright Recd. 10.30 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. Beneath triple headlines, the first of which is: “Should We Sell Australia/ the “Y'orkshire Observer” publishes an amazing letter signed “G. P. Townsend, Sydney,” and dated November 27. It begins by asserting that Australia never was, and is not now, fit to govern herself or to raise tariff walls against Britain. Britain never foresaw such a course. The writer alleges that the working class is taught to despise and insult English-born newcomers, but never Scottish or Irish migrants. Politicians prefer American and Japanese manuWhat England ought to do, he suggests, is to sell Australia to America as payment for war debts and devote any surplus to developing her own people instead of impoverishing them as she is now doing.
