Sir Arthur Duckman leader of the British Economic Delegation spoke at a Melbourne Chamber of Commerce lunch today and said he would extend his stay in Australia to establish a branch of his business there.
A dated analysis discusses Sir Austen Chamberlain’s remarks on Anglo American naval parity. It argues public opinion in the United States, driven by Hearst press and warlike senators, makes it hard to win assent to Britain’s view. Reiteration is urged, with no quick results expected.
February item from a metropolitan desk notes tourist leisure at beaches and riverside resorts amid a long heat wave, while cricketers pivot to Perth venues and building trades face wage disputes. Perth Hospital finances threaten services with cuts. Mounts Bay Road widening looms, proscribed by government and council, with brewery impact and hops aroma.
An account notes the Gaekwar of Baroda began life as a shepherd boy and was chosen from three candidates when succession to the state was required. The tale reflects on the unlikely ascent to rulership and the early expectations of his reign.
The Prince of Wales toured darkest England visiting Wepping-equare Benton and a miner’s home with twenty four tiny hovels condemned as unfit for habitation.

The text cites 1915 figures of £530,000,000 and total wartime exports at £4,237,000,000, with 1914 US net overseas claims near £4,000,000,000 including Allied debts.
