SYDNEY, New South Wales.
Macy economic problems faced Aus
tval'a when the war came upon US,
Interviewing a serious shortage Of the
food supplies to The people. Exploit
n'io" grew rife in the country and
every week made it more difficult
for the h"caA-wiunc, to resist the i'm
roads ON his income. TIE supply Of
sugar needed drastic attention, yet
there WIS nover a commodity present
ng ditficu!t,ls 80 complicated.
For many years now sugar growing
in Australia has been a highly pro
tected industry, local prices ranking
at least $25 per ton of refined sugar
above the world parity. This extra
amount of money was paid by the
consumers Of Australia in order that
the sugar industry may be allowed to
live in Australia, and to be worked by
white labor
The States Of Queensland and New
South Wales benefited most under
tins arrangement, for sugar growing
IS confined to these two states, com
prlsing the northeastern corner of
Australia. That price was cheerfully
paid, and we considered that at that
price the guaranteed purity of cur
Australian race was chcaply bought.
hut Tor the alien restriction act the
sugar growers could have produced
sugar by coIored labor cheaper than
we are getting 1t today Ana without

The Australian Government acted
only in time-When record shipments
were actually on the way TO The
steamers to be exported out of the
country. In one second, figuratively
speaking, every ounce of sugar was
arrested in Australia and became gov
eminent property.
But there were difficulties in the
way. The sugar business of Australia
is very complicated, since each Aus
tralian State fixed its own price. And
SO 1t was not long before the growers
got dissatified with the prices fixed.
