New Era? od

SYDNEY, Jan. 19—The ousting of the Labor

government in Australia has been hopefully 're-

garded abroad as an* omen of general aversion to socialism and the paternal state. But there is some skepticism over the import of the recent overthrow of Labor both here and in New Zealand. A great many people are jubilant, foreseeing a revaluation of the Australian pound, better trade relations with America, loosened restrictions on practically everything, and a complete new era of prosperity and development. Especially, emphasis is placed on bettering relations with America, since the deposed government heavily stressed depend-

(ence on Socialist England at the expense of coms<

mercial intercourse with the States. But a great many intelligent people to whom

| T've talked are inclined merely as a momentary | reaction to a long domination by Labor—an aversion that may not be permanent,

More Quid, More Perks

IT IS pointed out rather forcefully that the Australian working man did better, individually, under Labor than under any government in recent Australia’s treasury is fat, which observers credit to the Labor crowd. Taxation for the working man is low. There are more pounds in his pocket. A 40-hotir week gives him more

' time for relaxation, and myriad government gifts

and subsidies have raised his living standard considerably. , It is pointed out here that unless Robert Menzies’ new government can match the outgoing Chifley operation in perquisites—or “perks”—the workihg man may well bring back the old regime three years hence, after the Liberals have enjoyed what the Aussies call “a fair go.” But three years is a long time, and the new administration undoubtedly will throw some obstacles in the path of any wild resumption of socialism, even if the Labor lads do get back in again. For one thing, a pending amendment to the constitution would make the future nationalization of any industry impossible without a public referendum. In the past Australians generally have voted “no” on referendums. The abolition of the double-taxation law which industry and

capital here undoubtedly will occur under the Menzies regime. It is popularly felt that the Socialists encouraged double taxation in order to cling more closely, commerce-wise, to Mother Eng-| land. It is a lead-pipe cinch that the new government will welcome closer co-operation with America.

Some surcease from the strikes which have crippled the country is now in sight. A rolling waterfront strike that tied up hundreds of ships broke itself the other day, partly on account of appearance of the new government. During the past few years, Australian waterfront conditions have been so painfully subject to tie-up that many American shippers have been highly reluctant to

send their vessels this way because they never| t knew how long a turn-around would take. IE

For a young and practically undeveloped nation, Australia has been controlled to death, taxed 18 shillings to the pound for upper-bracket incomes, hampered by all sorts of restrictions, and subjected to constant shortages even in a time of great prosperity. * There is a shortage of beer, for instance, be-! "cause building restrictions limited the expansion of | breweries in order to fill a growing demand for more beer based on more pounds in the working! man’s pocket.

The Australian came early to the strict wage: |

and-hours life, and he insists on its enforcement.

DP’s Bring New Influence

BUT A NEW and eager workman has recently come to these shores — the European migrant. There are some 250,000 of these people here now, since the war, and many thousands more pouring| in. Their presence is sure to be felt in industry, as it was felt in our own before the turn. of the| century. It is an exciting thing to see, as the opening] of America must have been exciting.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19—The principal inhabitants of the United States are bugs. Mere man by comparison is insignificant. Within our borders there are 80,000 different varieties of these insects, some with 16 legs and h hts, some with built-in hypodermic needles, and all with healthy appetites. They eat man’s clothes off his back, take the food from his plate, and after they've got him standing there naked and hungry, they chew on him, If the fight against the bugs ever lets up for one minute, man is doomed. Maybe he is anyway, because bugs are smart and soon. learn to thrive on such delicacies as dichloro diphenyl trichlorethylene, which is the scientific word for DDT. What brings, up these melancholy reflections
