Argentina Beating Australia.
The Argentine republic, to degree
similar In present and possible pro-
auctions to Australia, has made prog
ress far beyond Australia's growth.
1t furnishes figures for comparison
In the last 81 years the population Of
the Argentine republic has increased
from 3,954,911 to 7,467,s7s. The pop
ulation of Australia, during the same
period. increased from 3,151.355 to A.
425,0s3. The Argentina imports in
creased from sl0O,0OO,O00 to $3.50 000,-
900 and the exports from s110,000.000
to 100000, 900, the Australian i'm
ports from s165, 900, 900 to s4O0, 600, 900
The cultivated land in Argentina was
increased from 100000 acre; to ST.
900, 900 acres, in Australia from $780,
600 acres to 100000 acres. The
railway mileage of Argentina was in
creased from $500 to 20.531. in Aus

mileage and accommodation We are
being beaten all hollow by our South
American competitor"
II is not merely a question of popu-
lation in Australia, but OF distribution
Of population so as to get the best re-
suits. Australians city population has
increased far out Of proportion to its
rural population. Even in the districts
where there is fairly large rural pop
ulation, enormous areas Of waste land
are to be seen. The desire for more
acres is upon the Australian as upon
the American. He is landed prodi-
igal. The size of his farm rather than
its productive capacity is with him of
first consideration.
Farming Retarded by UnionIsm.
Another cause operates against the
right use of the agricultural resources
OF Augtralia-the difficulty of obtaining
rural workers and the severity of the
trades union regulations as extended
to organizations OF rural workers. In
the United States there is in many
states a scarcity Of farm laborers, but
the organization of unions among
them has not succeeded The situa.
ton is different in Australia.
Farm laborers are as difficult to OBJ

union rules which the farm employer
must take into account The rural
workers union insists on an eight-hour
day, from o'clock in the morning un-
til 5 o'clock in the afternoon, with an
hour for lunch, For overtime a price

rural worker may-and often does
decline to work even at this price.
How this affects conditions, particu-
larry at harvest time and during other
periods OF strenuous agricultural &C
tiyity the farmer will readily see. 1t
is one of the reasons for the slow de-
velopment of Australia's agricultural
resources. Because in rural districts,
for various reasons, wheat was han
died by non-union laborers, the union
workers in the cities TO which it was
shipped for sale, labeled it black
wheat and refused to unload it The
result was a loss to the farmer. an
added reason against agricultural de-
velopment, The farmer in Australia

casually, without becoming optimistic
as to the tomorrow Of the common

free from economic slavery, which is
as bad as any other kind of slavery,
or worse. The population is not az
large as 1t should be, but the number
below the broad line is small, almost
non-existent. This freedom from eco
