AUSTRALIA

It is by organisation — national and individual — Governmental 

 activity in investigating, experimenting, and educating, so that 

 the citizen shall be well equipped when coming into daily grips 

 with problems in field and factory and world-wide com]3etition — 

 that the urgent call for efficiency, economy, and human uplift 

 can find adequate response. Economy in production, saner 

 methods of distribution, and only such legislative control as will 

 give a fair field to the mutual interests of industrially employed 

 capital and labour represent the corner-stone of a true demo- 

 cracy. Before they can hope to people their vast continent 

 Math a virile white race, Australians must understand the funda- 

 mental economic factor of national safety and progress, that it is 

 production, and production only, that creates wealth, pays wages, 

 regulates prices, and fixes the standard of living. The neglect 

 of a country's natural resources is economic waste, and economic 

 waste means public and private loss and eventually national 

 decay. 



THE INDIAN ZEBU FOR AUSTRALIA. 



If it is possible to obtain the consent of the Federal Govern- 

 ment to their introduction, it is very probable that a large con- 

 signment of Zebu bulls will be imported from India into the 

 Northern Territory.
