AUSTRALIA'S DAILY MESSAGE TO LONDON. 



l_TopicaL 



This huge board stands on the edge of the ohasan in the Strand, where the foundations of 

 the new Commonwealth offices are being Laid. Behind looms the office building of the Victorian 

 Uovemmemt, to be incorporated in the whole when completed. The hoardings are neatly finished 

 off, and, instead of the more or less unsiglitly advertisements with which such things are usually 

 smothered, are beautifully reproduced photographs of actual scenes in the Oommonwealth, care- 

 fully varnished, to protect them from the damp. Between them -are neatly-framed particulars, in 

 large type, ajbout the resources of this ■country. Altogether, a splendid advertisement to put 

 before the gaze of the hundreds of thousands who pass along the Strand daily. Our photograiph 

 shows the board being decorated on Foundation Day.
