A WHITE AUSTRALIA
SIR GEORGE REID'S EULOGISM. By Cable —Press Association—Copyright Received 11, 10.30 p.m. London, November 11. Sir George Reid, who is Mr. Chamberlain's guest, lecturing at Birmingham yesterday, said that every nation aimed at maintaining integrity of the national character, therefore it was without thought of offensiveness, but with a feeling of genuine respect for the Japanese, that he maintained that Australians were justified in trying to reproduce a country such as the Home Land. The world-wide cry was for cheaper meat, and when the barriers were removed, Australia would have an opportunity of supplying the millions.
The Commonwealth's progressive land tax would bring millions of fertile acres, now locked up, into cultivation. He eulogised Australia's manufacturing, industrial and political status, and said she had done more for the settlement of disputes hy arbitration than any other country.
