AUSTRALIA a FRIEND
H Mckenzie, NJ l. A, member of
the Australian parliament and former
cabinet minister, is a guest at the Pal
ace hotel. During his visit TO America
he brings to San Francisco the as
sirance that Australia is a firm friend
OF this city and that Australians are
hoping that congress will decide upon
the Pacific coast metropolis as the
proper site for the celebration of the
opening of the Panama canal. He
said:
The Panama canal will be prin-
cipally effective in its stimulus to
the commerce of the west. Austria
liza expects TO benefit from the
canal in many ways.
Commerce between America and
Australia at present is insignif-
cant because of the lack of trans
portation facilities. but with the
opening of the canal We believe
many new steamship lines be-
tween the two countries will be
operated.
In former days New Orleans was
known to the people of Australia
and England as the white Mans
Grave, because of its unhealthy
condition San Francisco, on the
contrary, has all that can be de-
sired in climate, location, harbor,
health and capital.
