Australian tourist bureaus, think
this will be done We in the hands
around-the- Pacific movement see that
your tourist bureaus are largely de-
pendent on the goodwill Of your state
railway departments. as we'll as''oh
the cooperation they get from the big
steamship companies. - Il Throughout

toward this end Already in New Fdea'
land the tourist btireaus Estate and
independently. the railway; the steam
ship companies, the immigration de-
partment. and the commercial bodies
have begun to cooperate: and IN New
South Wales the matter is'-being Ia

The 'Hands-around-th e-Pacific' move
ment hopes TO bring about a coalition
of all of the governments and inter
ests of the Pacific looking toward
united work in inducing the Ameri-
cans and others to visit Pacific lands.
Much has already been done in this
direction, for We feel in America that
when the Anglo-SaXon is driven to
TIE extreme West by the overwhelm-
ing South of Europe wave of popula-
ton that is pouring into the states
and Canada-he will seek refuge in
q land where he may not be followed
by those with whom he can never
hope to. compete induStrially. In
America we wish to know more about
Australia and its possibilities for the
immigrant, tourist, and investor. We
hope before long to make an arrange
ment to send our cadets to learn
something in your tourist bureaus of
Australasia, and at the same time in
vite some of your brightest young
men to visit us and serve their time
III our organizations Of a similar ma
ture, until We have, built up a corps
of active workers who will know
something of the real life in each of
TIE lands about the big ocean, and
can aid in the movement to persuade
people to travel around the Pacific,

the best advantage. A worker in the
Adelaide Tourist Bureau who knew
through personal experience some
thing of the advantages each country
Of the Pacific had to offer would be
as valuable to Sou as would be the
neff in our various offices who could
tell people Of their own knowledge !
Why they should visit South Australia.
We help ourselves most by helping
each other. l shall certainly see tina
many Southern Californians learn the |
fact that near to Adelaide is tie big |
gCst wine cellar in the world and that !
On the hillsides are grown the finest !
Clive-bearing trees III the world. They |
will wish to come over and try their |

there seems to be plenty of room. Per !
