Coronation heavy drain on overseas funds
In Sydney on Wednesday March 10 Australian official questions action to prevent a heavy drain on London funds from tourists traveling to the coronation next year. It is reported that over 30,000 Australians will travel and up to 68,000,000 pounds will be spent on fares and credit letters. The Acting Premier urged limiting letters of credit to protect England's funds. Mr Spooner said the matter rests with the Commonwealth Bank and government and that authorities would act if needed, but a formal minuted action by King At Imperial mayors was not advisable.
