A reader defends White Australia by claiming Jesus as a divine teacher and Fatherhood of God joins all nations. The letter criticizes Austral-Britisher for racial barriers, cites Mill and Roosevelt, and argues Christianity supports removing bans to improve civilizational ties with Japan and other nations.
J A S Grimmett argues that Japan’s past use of bows and arrows contrasts with modern methods, warning that within 25 years millions may fall under Australia’s Alien Restriction Bill as global powers expand influence. He urges Britain to ease Chinese barriers and align foreign policy with other civilized nations.
A reader responds to Mr Kimmett's letter from the issue of the 20th, asking whether he would approve his relatives marrying a Chinaman to advance the cause of the coloured races. The note signs Yer Anorner Avstrat Bairisner and calls for a position on interracial marriage.
A Cowra farmer, returning immigrant, caused a stir in the town wearing a ragged suit and a card while distributing slips about the new act. He had won a homestead area at ballot among 40 applicants but the land board disallowed his claim due to an adjacent selector's prior right under the act. The case highlights hardships for homestead selectors under the new provisions.
A mangled OCR passage mentions a miser and his gold, influenza illness, and a censored or corrupted line about giving up wealth. It also includes garbled references to Jane Hetherington, a husband, and imprisonment for life, but details are unreadable.
