Your article in this evening paper questioning Australia's ability to supply this market attracted my attention and held it,

The Taipan who wrote it shows a fine grasp of China but not an a together thorough knowledge of Australia. It was my good fortune to spend some recent months in that wonderful country, where in the midst of the deepest depression not one voice could be heard doubting | its future.

It is not the purpose of this letter to bring forward arguments refuting the above mentioned article but to bring Epme to those bere just a bit of Australia.

The comparison between Portugal and Australia is far fetched except ss to population. There the likeness stops. It has been eleven years since I have been in Portugal but Australia is miles ahead of it, both in buying power per head and earning power. Australia to-day is manufacturing smong other, Cloth.
