Golden Chance

By Robert C. Ruark

SYDNEY, Australia, Jan. 20--It's been my privilege to observe a wonderfully gratifying thing, a sight denied me in America by virtue of my tender years. : is would be the influx of foreigners to a new, raw nation, much as the Italians and Irish and Poles came aboard America in the last century, to remodel the land to their own specifications. Australia flung open its post-war doors to the homeless, and the people flocked fo a land where there was breathing space and room to flex a muscle. They are people of all countries, save the black and the yellow, for the Aussies still operate on a slogan of white Australia. In an odd sort of way, even this is pardonable, since you folks back home cannot imagine being a small oasis in a desert of alien culture. In the upsurge of natiomalism among the Asiatics, Australia figures there are enough Asiatics ringtng them without inviting them to come and live in Sydney. But the gate has gaped wide to the folk who were stripped of their homes and identities by the European war, and théy have eagerly seized the opportunity to begin afresh in a country where space is so vast that a million-acre sheep station is not peculiar, . Australia’s eight millions live largely in the principal cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Darwin and Townsville. The rest of the land is laid out there, panting for development.

Face a New Life

THESE PEOPLE who have come down under to dwell are folk who are accustomed to living in postage-stamp nations. The broadness of this land is new and wondrous in concept to them. They are pioneers in an age when pioneering is obsolescent. They have stars in their eyes, and limitless endurance in their muscles, These are dedicated men and women. They have already begun to integrate themselves into the nation, even as our immigrants dug into America, by doing chores nobody else wants to do. They take the tough jobs, at small pay. They work the extra hours. They serve as menials, as rough laborers, and always they save. They save intently, fiercely. ‘ They squirrel away their small earnings, paring their expenses to bone, against the day Rr

will be able to start their own business and found a new dream. - It is no new or startling thing to find a European professional man working on an outback

sheep station as a common man, never coming

to town for relaxation, never spending a shillingf that he can store away. This is against the day he will take his hoard and move into the cities, | to start a business of his own. ’ | The servants in a great many Australian homes today are migrants, even as the Irish girl, with the dew of Dublin fresh on her cheeks, became the domestic mainstay of New York a couple score years ago. The Ausiies marvel at the industry and fidelity of the Baltic people as household help. The job, for these new pioneers, is going to be pathetically easy. They are plumped into an economy of state-indorsed sloth, where the man in the street has knocked off work a couple of generations before his time. Australia is a beautiful object lesson in state interference with in-| dividual endeavor today.

Aims at Sitting Duck

HERE YOU HAVE a working man with so] many pounds in his pocket he wants to drink more beer, but he cannot procure the beer because he is so rich and so secure that he will not work extra hours to provide the beer, or else his late government was so stern in building permits that it is not possible to erect sufficient edifice to manufacture the beer. There is no real overtime in Australia, One in-| dustrialist was trying to describe to me the difference between the Australian worker and the American worker. He finally said: “If you pay the Yank enough, he'll work a night shift, or even work week-ends.| But you can't pay an Australian enough to work] more than his 40 hours a week.” l That is where the non-clock-watching migrant has his opportunity, He is aiming at a sitting] duck. Australia will develop ana expand, and peo-| ple with a “-ski” on the hind end of their names will be a potent force in the development. - It's a healthy thing all round for mry Aussie friends, because with their tight. inheritance of| Scotch, English and Irish, they were getting to look very much alike anyhow. This is: one continent that can use some new blpod—economically as well as physically.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20—There seems to be no doubt that senatorial Democrats are warmblooded critters who wear their summer union suits the year round. Republicans are a different, shivering breed. Let them displace their earmuffs and they get icicles in their whiskers. What forced me to this interesting conclusion was a meeting of the Senate Labor Committee to decide whether President Truman ought to be nudged on doing something about getting the coal miners back to the job. \ The goose-pimply Republicans said that the crisis was upon us, the nation’s coal bins ‘were bare, businesses were beginning to shut down, schools soon would have to close, and citizens. were suffering from cold houses. B-r-r-r. )

Democrats—Warm as Toast

THE DEMOCRATS seemed to be warm as, er, toast. Only one who had anything to say was Sen. Matthew W, Neely of West Virginia, who read at some length from a magazine piece, which said there wasn't any coal shortage. That wasn't the way the frost-nipped Republicans heard it. Sure, they'd seen statistics saying there was plenty of coal in stock, but as Sen. Owen Brewster put it: “Up in New England we haven't found it practical to burn statistics. ‘We have to have coal.” Sen. Charles W. Tobey of New Hampshire, another of the shivery ones from the snow country, said he didn’t want to make any charges against anybody, but he couldn’t help recalling the old saying: “Figures don’t lie, but liars figure,” “And maybe we'd better not beat around the frozen bush. President Truman doesn't want to use the Taft-Hartley Act to make the miners go back to work. Neither do the other Democrats. The Republicans, including Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, say it is the law of the land, that it calls for the President to act when there is an emergency, and that this is it.

So the Republicans came loaded with telegrams from their constituents in the blizzards. If the Democrats had any similar communications they did not mention them and it may be, therefore, that Democrats in general like their climate cool. Sen. Taft's sheaf of wires from the cold ones was typical. They told of an impending calamity | at Hamilton, O., a critical situation at Mapleton, Towa, and a deplorable situation in Cincinnati. The Youngstown’ Sheet & Tube Co. reported that its coal mines had worked only four days since Christmas, while the mayor of Fremont, O., said
