American Immigrants
To Australia Warned
On Facing Realities
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

SYDNEY, Oct 9.-Prospects for
mass migration OF Americans to Aus
tralia are none too rosy, according to
ex-servicemen who have settled
here.
George Noe, president of the
American Australian Ex-Service-
mems Memorial Club, said that
many former GIs had returned
home because they expected too
much Of Australia.
IF the boys had a realistic ap-
proach to the situation, they would
not be disappointed" said Mr.. Noe,
who came here from Duluth. TOO
many of them live in a dream world
Of the past when they came down
from the islands with $500 Army pay
In their pockets, had plenty of food,
cigarettes, and everything provided
FOR them by the Army, and they ex-
pect the same conditions today"
Mr.. Noe himself is well placed with
a large Australian construction
firm.
However, immigration Minister
Arthur A. Calwell said seven Ameri-
cans came to Australia to stay dur
ing the first half OF, 1947 for every
two who left permanently.
His statistics showed that In the
first 6 to II months after the war
large number Of Americans who
had been held up in Australia for
various reasons had returned to the
United States These could not In
any sense be classed as postwar mi
grants returning home, Mr.. CAL
we'll said.
Permanent departures Of Ameri-
cans dropped from 338 month in
the first half of 1916 to less than
| 80 a month in the first half Of 1947
In the last three quarterly periods
from September, 1916. one year after
the war, 949 Americans entered Aus
tralia to remain permanently and
331 returned to the United States.
Between January and June, 1947,
621 Americans arrived and 1T left.
In addition about 1000 Americans
took their discharge to stay In Aus
tralia.
s. p. Pollack, formerly Of irving
ton, N. j., who is secretary Of the
Ex-Servicemen's Club here, had
some advice for former GIs plan
ming to migrate.
"The boys coming over here
should know what they are going
to do and where they are going to
settle before leaving American
shores" Mr.. Pollack said. His as
ISOLATION, which looks after the in
terest of 600 former servicemen in
Sydney, tries to give a helping hand
to newcomers from the States.
Its a difficult enough problem
getting men rehabilitated in their
own country-but when they try to
settle down in foreign country It's
really tough" said Mr.. Pollack, who
is in the import-export business
The greatest difficulty, he added, is
getting newcomers accepted by
labor unions, and he advised pros
pective immigrants to make sure OF
their status before leaving.
The Australian immigration De-
partRnent warns: I'm the skilled
trade groups individuals must have
had the necessary training and ex-
: perience qualifying them to follow
the trades in Australia. Without
] evidence of qualifications they will
not be acceptable either to en-
ployers individually or to workers
organizations, and will not, in fact,
be employed and paid as trades
men,"

Control office
GiUes'"Data On
Hosiery Rates

Hotels and motor courts in rent
control areas may not advance
their rates on transient rooms
until February Is and then only
after an application has been filed
with the area rent office, Rent Dl-
rector Leo H. Warren reminded
operators today. He said that
some operators thought decontrol
action, announced last week, was
effective Immediately.
Forms will be available soon
after February l for the filing of
these applications, Warren said.
Operators of hotels and tourist
courts will be required to list, by
room number or location, all rooms
required to be rented for weekly
or monthly terms, and must list
such rooms as are now occupied
on those terms.
Tenants still will be protected
under rent control regulations,
since weekly and monthly rates
may not be increased, he explain
ed. This restriction is necessary
because large numbers of couples
and students, many of them vet
Grams, are unable to find other
housing accommodations and daily
rates would in most cases be pro-
hibitive for them, Mr.. Warren
said.
Director Warren cautioned OPP
orators of rooming houses against
making increases in rents, mas
much as the coming action does
not affect them in any way.
