served notice on the business world
February 27 that it would not harbor
foreign trusts" This action was pre-
cipitated through the American meat

whose object is to build up Australian
trade and commerce from within. The
/ Australian meat dealers have large
trade with the Philippines and Asiatic
ports and export considerable beef
and mutton to England. While this
action is primarily to protect and fos-
ter home industries, it is intended to
discourage and prohibit if necessary,
the operations of trusts" and avoid
the repetition in Australian of the
scandals and merciless methods char
acterizing monopolies in other parts of
the world.

and shrubbery prevents the forma-
ton of frost by the rapid condensa-
ton of the moisture and vapor from
the warm earth.
