Australia’s War Effort.
“Australia is making a good war effort. More noise is heard about the few who are not living up to the war effort than of the rest who are doing their bit,” said Sir George Davis in Christchurch yesterday. He is over from Australia on a business trip, and is at present at'Christchurch. His main interest is in naval building and repairs as chairman of the Cockatoo Docks and the Engineering Company. Many recently built Australian shins have come from this company, which is concerned in the building of sloops, corvettes and destroyers. The sloops are named aftei' Australian rivers, the corvettes after towns ,and the destroyers after native tribes. The recently-lost Armidale was one of his company’s ships, and the Aranta and Wanamunga, both now doing good work, were others The company builds ships, turbines, boilers and engines, and finds all equipment except armaments.
