Nowhere In the world wag there
Vnlckcr understanding of this war's
significance than In Australia.
With enormous surplusage of wheat,
wool, sugar," beef, and fruits, Aus
tralia has been forced to erect storage-houses
,end to Isk millions In
losses because of lack of transporta
tion. For the Importation of much
needed manufactured articles she has
&ad to rely to a great extent upon the
uncertain visits of sailing-vessels.
Coal and metals have remained com
paratively nndoveloped because of In
sufficient railways, , waterways, and
coastwise Vessels. , ?
7 .it .la;, to. make, nn .that Oils shall'
not happen again and that In the fu
ture the Commonwealth will not have
to rely on British ships, that a great
shipbuilding program has been Inau
gurated. ' ' V1' '
Closely related are the plans for port
Improvement
,Itailroad extensions ore' likewise
contemplated.
Australia is capable of Industrial
expansion on a great scale. Ilcr nat
ural, resources have never been sub
jected to the exploitation enslly possi
ble In lands well provided with rail
roads and waterways, Tho Germans
wore making some hendway 'ln mining
and In related metal Industries when
the war broke out, but their holdings
havo been seized and steps have been
taken to prevent their return. -.
The output of the Australian metal
Industries for the next ten years has
been contracted for. The second larg
est electro-zinc plant In the world has
been established,- and lUIs reported
that Great Britain has arranged to
take the surplus of zinc concentrates
for the next ten years. Queensland
has' an abundance of copper and On.
More coal than golij has been mined
there of late, and Ini-ce denoeirs - of
I wolfram have been discovered. New
South Wales has coal, silver, lead nnS
gold. Much copper was produced thero
in, iuiT, ana a plant for the mnnufuc
turo of copper wire and other goods
has been established at Port Klinbl,
sixty miles from Sydney. . ' ',
Having an arnplo supply of woo!,'
Australia sees no reason why her tex
tile Industries should not be expanded,
Australia Is naturally an agricultur
al country, however, and her plans for
Industrial expansion will not bo allow
ed to Interfere wltai her standard
sources of wealth. ' ' ' ' 1 1 y 1
Cattle raising flourishes In Queens

much beet Is frozen for export. - .
