Prohibition views and Australian press on American visitors
The essay criticizes Sydney newspapers for suppressing anti Prohibition voices of visiting young American University men. It notes strong student support for the visitors in Sydney and contrasts Maine’s long Prohibition with Australian debate on reform. The piece also laments limited Australian talent recognition and discusses state ownership of railways and the Red Cross legacy led by Dunant and influential women.
