AUSTRAL|ASEEKS
TRADE EXPANSION
Mission Here to Develop Com
merciaI and Financial Re-
Iations With U. S.
HENRY Y. BRADD0N ENVOY

NEW YORK. November 2.-Australia
has entered the field Of big broad BUSH
ness. From the island continent at the
bottom of the world has come for the
first time in history an envoy to the
United States, to work for the strength
enIng of the commercial, financial and
political good will prevailing between
the two countries.
Undep>a policy similar to that de-
veloped by the American government
in ante-bellum days-termed in an apt
phrase dollar diplomacy"-the Aus
tralian commonwealth has given official
support to the ambitions Of its agricul-
tural. industrial and mercantile interests
for international trade expansion.
British Government Approves.
Recent arrival here of an Australian
commissioner has called attention to a
new departure in governmental action
country hitherto has directed her in
ternational relations and those OF her
colonies from London.
Yet Australias venture has been ap-
proved by the British government, and
Henry Y Braddon, appointed to the
authority TO lay the foundations for a
great Observation-Disclosures trade after
the war and to negotiate for an inter-
change of credits to finance it and
shipping to carry 1t.
Because his mission is one Of business
rather than diplomacy. Mr.. Braddon has
established headquarters in this city,
the nations financial and commercial
capital. He frankly predicts that Aus
tralia with so. 900 OF her sons killed in
battle and 100000 others on the casualty
lists. will want no dealings with Ger
many. His chief job, then. as he sees
it, is to encourage America to take Ger
many's place as the principal buyer
of Australian primary products-wooi.
wheat and meat-and as the leading
source of supply of manufactured arti-
cles imported by the commonwealth.
Hopes to Hasten Ship Deliveries.
Incidentally. he hopes to hasten de-
livery from Pacific coast shipyards Of
fourteen cargo vessels ordered by his
government. and which will form the
nucleus of the Australian-American
carrying trade.
Owing to his overwhelming interest
in the war-he has three sons with his
country's 100000 men in the British
army-Mr. Braddon would have found
it difficult. he declared on arriving here.
to devote himself to a peace time prof.
ect but for his firm belief that much
mutual good can come Of better &C
quainta nee between Australia and the
states,' as America is universally known
in the Antipdoes. With this object in
view. he announced q plan to set up as
a branch of his commission q bureau to
furnish the American press with the
high spots" of Australian news.

overcome to a degree later in the
week, when call loans fell to 4 per

The effect Of the money committees

tions advance their margins on loans
from 20 to 80 per cent and which be-

apparent in a heavy contraction of

sible by the closing out Of many
speculative accounts, especially in
stocks of non-investment character
Accompanying this movement was an
/ inquiry instituted by the officials OF

weather had kept the girls confined te

but yesterdays sun launched the cam.
paign in earnest.
The "blue denim girls" as they were
called, attracted attention wherever
they went. Soldiers and officers were
particularly interested and many sub.
scriptions were received from men in
uniform.
of you girls are helping to raise food
for my kids at home, Pm for YOU" one
private said, as he contributed his
mite. His fee was smaller than the 81
dues that are expected to be paid for q
membership, but his name was entere
quite as cheerfully as those Of larger
subscribers.
A French officer was moved to inquire
what these energetic young women were
doing around the Hotel Biltmore
where the Land Army's campaign head
quarters are located. and was exceed
inglv curious about the uniform. When
he was told that the blue denim was
used only for dress occasions, and
that khaki overalls were used for real
work, he threw up his hands in amaze
ment.
"These Americans!" he exclaimed.
LAS if to raise money were not the
most difficult work in the world to
everybody but them"
The women farmers who are seeking
subscriptions have all been in the fields
themselves, and returned with their
service stripes to their duties in the
city. Most farmerettes cannot be
spared at present from the work still
to be done on the land, however, and
volunteers are therefore helping in the
drive.
One of the most experienced woman
farmers is Mrs. Thomas f. Burgess,
president Of the State Land Army. who,
as practical farmer of ten years ex-
perlence. has taken a booth for the
drive.
A letter was received yesterday at
campaign headquarters from Senator
Wadsworth, praising the work of the
Land Army and accepting a place on
the state committee of the organiza-
ton.

New Bombing Plane Has
Successful Test at

MINEOLA, L. L., Sept. 21.-The first

IN difficult test flight before thou

height of $4,000 feet in twenty-seven
and one-half minutes. believed to be
an American record for loaded ma
chine.
The Caproni was in charge of Cap
tain Joseph D'Annunzio, son Of Gabrielle
DAnnunzio, the famous Italian poet
and aviator. Captain D'Annunzio had
Lieutenant Giuliano Carvese, of the
Lieutenant Harris, United States Sig
nal Corps, as observer, representing
the American government in the test.
The entire student corps of the
aviation station at Princeton was on
the field and cheered as the huge ma
chine, carrying its three passengers
and 1900 pounds of weights represent
ing bombs, rose smoothly in the face
of a brisk gale.
The machine few toward Garden
City, then came back over the aviation
field, where representatives of the
army and navy aviation sections were
watching. Its three Liberty motors,
twelve cylinders each, were driving it
in the teeth of half gale at 1O5 miles
an hour.
When over the field the most i'm
portant test of the day-speed in lift
ing the weight of the loaded machine
above the clouds-was undertaken.
With its 'bombs'' and three passengers
the Caproni weighed 1900 pounds,
and it had been predicted that it would
climb 10000 feet in fourteen and a
half minutes.
The machine spun upward in short
circles, turning and banking, to the ad-
miration OF veterans. as we'll as be
ginners, below. When 10000 feet was
reached Captain DAnnunzio kept going
for almost another mile, then glided
