Sir Earle Page, the Commonwealth Minister for Commerte, has decided to make a tour of the coastal areas of New South Wales and southern Queensland to determine the pos- sibilities of further settlement both by sons of Australian farmers and of migrants.

The capital cost of the land would be low, and the areas would be specially. sultable for group settlement, which would make possible the co-opera- tive provision of drainage works. KENYA
