AUSTRALIA TOMMY'S
LAND OF PROMISE
Many Soldiers Expected to
Go There When the War
Is Over.

LONDON Feb. 15-(Correspondence
OF The Associated Press)-Australia
Will be the great mecca for the British
soldier after the war, In the opinion
of Andrew Fisher High Commissioner
for Australia in London. Australia to
day offers the greatest return for
energy Of any country in the world"
he declared today. Agreat deal has
been made In England of our plans for
settling soldiers on the land, and this
publicity in itself is going to result
in an unprecedented rush for the
island continent as soon as peace
comes.
THE only question in the minds Of
Australian statesman is whether we
shall be able to cope with the rush.
There is no question that we need
the men, and we are making every pre-
paration to be ready for them. Aus.
tralia Is an exporter of food and i'm.
porter OF men. Great Britain for a
century has been an importer Of food,
and an exporter of more adventurous
of her sons. Australia wants populat-
ion. but she wants an independent
population and she wants 1t upon the
soil. So she will have to provide or
ganized means for settling the immi-
grants where they will do the most
good"
Under the present constitution Of
the Australian commonwealth, the
land Of the continent is solely the pro-
perty Of the various states. In any
scheme of land settlement 1t was there
fRFn IN AnrotNIf Tho
ments Of the states. A series of con-
ferences to this end are now in pro-
gress, explained Mr.. Fisher.
THE keynote of the scheme which
we have adopted is that the British
soldier and Australian soldier shall
share and share alike. They have
shared the toll of the war together.
In the trenches they have made a
friendship that will last beyond the
seas, when 1t will merge into a NUT
ual citizenship in the new land of the
south.
"The money needed by the settlers
will be advanced through existing
state agencies at moderate interest
rates. The land itself will be provided
practically free of charge. In Queens.
land, for example, the land will be
leased under perpetual lease. There
will be no initial payment for this
lease, and there will be no rent to be
paid during the first three years. In
Western Australia, each sitter will
be given, without charge, 16O acres.
The government will clear some OF
the land for him and provide the nee
essary financial assistance through
the Agricultural Bank.
