Vaughan Says Europe
Is Waiting Oh Russia

New York, Sept. 2s.-crawford
Vaughan. former premier OF South
Australia, who arrived here from
England on the Cunarder BerenEaria
on his way home, said in an interview
at the Harvard club that the limita-
ton OF ornaments conference in
Washington was awakening tremen-
dous interest in the Australian COM
monwealth, because the subject OF the
Pacific touched Australia more close
ly thar any other British dominion.
Prime Minister Hughes at the re-
cent imperial conference in London
Mr.. Vaughan said. Expressed the
Australian view that the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance should not be terminal
ed, his belief being that it was bet
ter for the peace of the world that
the status quo in the east should be
maintained.
with regard to the labor situation
in England I found that trade was
getting down to work with a will.
which is shown In the increased coal
output. At the Same time. It was very
clear that a great many Britishers
would need to e~miErate, and every ef-
fort was being made by the govern
ment to absorb them within the en-
pire.
Inc are IN
England. but the situation Is still very
serious. The dole system is breaking
down. The attempt Of some of the To-
cal authorities to pay unemployed
high doles than are being received by
men atSgwork was frustrated by the
government refusing to sanction this
extravaganza" SO t4s
What are the prospects Of Europe
recovering its trade?" he was asked
1T all depends upon the rapidfty OF
the recovery Of Russia" Mr.. Vaughan
said. THE 15O,0o0,0 900 who were Gus.
toners and producers before the war
| now have to be supported blythe res,
Of the world. I firmly believe~that We
shonld feed Russia first and leave the
people to solve their own problem re.
