Various Global Postwar Issues Move Through 1920
Reports indicate influenza declines in Solomon Islands and New Hebrides, New Zealand insurance profits hit a high, and New South Wales lands plan to create 4162 farms for returned soldiers by June 1920. Freight rates fall to Australia, the Sheffield Shield will be state-owned after two wins, and policy shifts favor returned soldiers in employment. Retailers report supply strains and export incentives rise for butter. Returned Soldiers action groups press for eligible labor, while New Zealanders near Taracki face a mine explosion. Unemployment debates intensify across Queensland with protests, and Gormanston's post is joked over efficiency. Tin container shortages push substitutions in some industries, with war-time changes retained if cost-effective. The Defence Office denies a sensational claim in response to inquiries.
