Freight Rates
Exceed Cost
Of Goods
(By Associated Press. }

Sydney. Australia, July The
war has driven up freight rates from
Is more than initial cost OF goods.
Besides freight, additional charges
have now to be met for war risks
and exchange while first costs have
greatly increased owing to scarcity
OF raw materials, shortage in ship
ping, labor difficulties and conges-
ton at ports of export.
Rates from the United States are
proportionately more than those
200 to 400 per cent on Australian
imports In many instances freight
from any other part Of the world.
For canned salmon. for example, the
freight from San Francisco TO Sgd
ney was about IS before the war
whereas II ! snow $50.
From New York rates have gone
up from $40 TO approximately $50.
Ship owners naturally nd more prof
IT in sending a vessel three or four
times across the Atlantic than in
sending her once to Australia in a
given time.
Prior to the war the ordinary
charge upon shipments of American
hardware was between 81 and IS per
cubic foot. but now from $50 to $50
is demanded. The rates on lumber
from the American Pacific slope
have trebled. Those on Oregon pine
from Puget Sound are at this stage
about s25 per 1000 superficial feet.
Before the war they were about IS.
Many thousand tons Of cargo for
Austrilia are reported as lying on
wharyes in the United States and by
every mail manufacturers are stress
ing the difficulty in getting merchan-
disc shifted to ports for shipment.

LITTLE BELGIUM IN :.
LAND OF THE FREE

"A Little Belgium in the Land Of
the Free is what Mrs. Minnie Moore
Wilson, president Of the Women's
Club Of Kissimmee, Fla, calls the
settlement OF Seminole Indians in the
swamp lands Of that State, says the
New York Sun. Mrs. Wilson was a
delegate to the recent biennial of
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs in this town, and while she
was here she told some stories Of
