China's commercial interests with Australia are not large; exports to Australasia (which includes New Zealand) in 1928 came to less than three-quarters of a million dollars, and importz amounted to about 94 millions- trade totalling less than 3 million dollars in all. The impart trade may increase, but in view of the Labour policy of high protection, it does not seem likely that China's exporta to Australia will show any great improvement. The Customs returns, indeed, show that outward trade with the Com- monwealth has been steadily declin- ing. In 1999 exports were valued at 22 million dollars, but the figures have steadily gone down, though imports from Australasia show & marked increase. In 1921 the figure was $830,000, in 1926 the total was
