Publicity for Britain is weak prompting Resident Minister Beasley to reorganise Australia House and staff. United States and Canada publicity performs better but needs more modern material.

Sugar Import Control Debate Passes Queensland Bill
Chaotic prewar conditions led to extending the 1941-465 agreement for wholesale sugar discounts while maintaining import prohibitions. Queensland pledges to bear losses from surplus exports, curb raw sugar production, cap prices in state capitals and key ports, fund the Fruit Industry Sugar Concession Committee, and ensure net sugar costs in goods do not exceed world parity. The measure underscores sugar’s wartime and national importance, with debate adjourned amid government support.
