"AUSTRALIA EXAMPLE
TO WORLD"
Sydney Barrister Returns
From London
Newspapers and public men in Eng- <*>
land are holding up Australia as an
example to the rest of the world for
the way in which the country is hand-
ling her political problems and meet
ing hex interest obligations overseas,
according to Mr. David Maughan.
X.C.. of Sydney, who, accompanied bj
his wife, is returning from London by
the ChitraL which arrived at the
Outer Harbor on Saturday night.
Mr. Maughan appeared for the New
South Wales Legislative Council in the
appeal made by Mr. Lang, the former
Premier, to the Privy Council for the
abolition of the Upper Bouse. Wher.
questioned about the appeal, which
was disallowed, Mr. Maughan was dis
inclined to discuss it because, he said,
it was his practice not to speak out
side the courts on the merits or de
merits of oases in which he appeared.
During his stay in London. Mr.
Maughan met many business men and
well-known political figures, and he
said that all of them held Australia
in high regard. From their remarks
he gathered that the success of the
Australian conversion loan last year
had been the main factor in leading
England to float c similar loan, and
ite success had been most gratifying.
Referring to conditions in England.
Mr. Maughan said that he was struck
with the optimistic view taken by the
people concerning the future, which
was directly opposite to the feelings
of the people of America, who were
down in the doldrums and could see
no signs of returning prosperity for
I the world.
'The men behind the scenes in Eng
land—the business men and statesmen
—are not so optimistic as the man in
the street, however." declared Mr.
Maughan. "They are concerned about
the financial position of the Danubian
States and the troubles of Germany,
which they think may have a re
action on the whole of Europe, and.
perhaps, the rest of the world, too.
Unemployment is not decreasing vi
England, either, and. as the result, the
industrial position of the country is
seriously worrying the business and
political leaders."
