It was at extraordinary thing, said Professor Gilbert Murray at the Wem- of the League bley

Conference of Nations Union, that the greatest danger was among the white races of Europe yet these pagancious nations were, on the whole, the highest races in the world.

It seems that Australian fruit is the product that bas gained the greatest war advertisement. The fruit shop within the pavilion is the largest in the world; and in the last two mouths attendants

Frenet, Danish, German, Russian, and Italian buyers have asked for informa tion about Australian cotton, butter, fruit, meat. and coal. Australia has not hitherto exported asbestos, but the head of a large English firm operating in this country, Italy, and Africa has offered to buy the whole output, thus creating a new industry for the Antipodes.

The Commissioner stated that an traordinary number of intending em grants have made inquiries, and the de- partment dealing with arm at Australia House is working strenuously to cope Iwith the bombardment. Some of those who have, definitely decided to go to Australia as the result of their inquiries have as much as £50,000 and £100,000 the land of their capital to invest

The League did not refuse, to use force, but it tried to arrange definitely that force should be on the side of the right. Just as in a court of law force was there, but always in the background so it should be far in the background and as far as possible never mentioned in the affairs of cations. (ear, hear.)
