AUSTRALIA NOW
 FEELING H. c. l..

Economic i'll effects from the war are reported to have been delayed in transit te Australia. Recently, how ever, they did succeed in arriving and Australia, as does the rest of the world, is now said to be going the full length of the high price night mare.
 During the period Of actual hostin- ties, in consequence of her distance from the world markets and the scarcity of shipping, Australia had on hand exceptionally large volumes of general commodities, including food stuffs. Gradually, however, the vast reserves have been used up and prices are mounting.
 An effort is being made to aceus- tom the public to the disquieting out look of a sharp rise of prices by slziIlful publicity work conducted through the daily press, in which the still more unfortunate plight of other nations and peoples is pointed out. Muck grumb1ing is resulting, never the1ess.

Since the Government has stated that it does not propose to issue licenses this debars all trade with that coun- try at present and givesl the United Kingdom a further chance te take her former predominant position in these markets.
 '-This opportunity unfortunately is conditioned by the shipping situation. The industrial disputes in England and Australia which interfered with sea traffic and held it up for nearly three months last year have seriously interrupted supplies. There are also the delay to ships in British ports and another cessation of sea, trade in the Commonwealth. The last break threw commerce sadly out of gear and has cost the newspapers of Australia their very lives in some cases.
