Mr. R. O. M. Kindersley supported the motion, but thought the latter part of the resolution ought to have been differently worded. He said the R.G.A. propaganda committee had been functioning very suc-a cessfully for some time, and it would be much better to entrust the whole of that money to them with strong recommjada- tions that a proportion of it be spent in the East.

The Chief Secretary, in reply, said that the resolution as it stood was the opinon unanimously expressed by the select com- mittee, which went into this question. The Government fully realised, the work done by the RG.A. but nevertheless. there was the greatest necessity for pro paganda'work-ja Asia. Enormous, work could, be thought, be done in China and India, and a local organisation would be far more competent to deal with pro- paganda in Asin than the R. G.A. could do from London,

The motion was carried.

CAPITAL LEVT.

·AUSTRALIAN LABOUR PARTY'Š PROPOSALS.

The Australian" Labour Party's Easter conference attempted the institution of a capital-levy scheme.

The proposal declares "It is now. agreed by the world's leading economists that a capital levy-is the fairest method of clearing the enormous burden of war debts,"

Other conference proposals included: The transfer of all State accounts from private banks to the Common- wealth Back;
