WESTERN AUSTRALIA. AGENT GENERALS ADDRESS TO SWANSEA r CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. SIR A. MONO PRESIDES. ) A monthly meeting of the Swaiosea (Chamber of Commerce was held at the j Royal lwtitution on Friday. The J chair was taken by the 'dœ-prøsident I (Mr. T. P. Cook) who was supported by \Sir Newton Moore, K.C.MC.. (Agent General of Western Australia), and Mr. fE, P. Jones (secretary). As to the Boy Scouts' Headquarters (Endowment Fund, the Chairman re- I marked that a circular was issued to ?all the memOOrs on behalf of the docks list soliciting subscriptions. He was glad to say that they had so far received about £106, but a very large number of members had not so far contributed, so he was hoping the total would be considerably ugmented very shortly. President Takes the Chair. At this stage of the proceedings the j president of the Chamber (the Right Hon. Sir Alfred Mond, Bart., M.P.) arrived, and took charge of the pro- ceedings, and the vice-president ex- i pressed the pleasure of the Chamber at I seeing him as their president for the first time. He hoped this was onjy one of many meetings that Sir Alfred would be able to attend during his year of office. (.Applause). The Secretary read a communication from the Post Office informing Tele- phone Advisory Committees that no charge would be made for trunk calls unless the caller was actually brought into communication with the sub- scriber. The reduced fees for non- effective calls had been abolished. The secretary looked upon the con- cession as a considerable one, and only hoped it was the beginning of a erics. The President, who apologised for being a ftiiv minutes late, said he was very glad indeed to bavo tho oppor- tunity of taking the chair, and he was more glad to be able to do so in view of the fact that they had present with, them that day the Agent-General of ono rof their most progressive dominions, i namek Western Australia, which was worthity represented by Sir Newton Moore, who had very kindly consented to sat a few won's to thorn or-&he most imvortant subject of Dominion Development and British Trade." He was quite sure that all of them in Swansea would gladly listen to anything which would enable them to develop trade to the British dominions. It was undoubtedly a subject of very great jT)- terest to all of them, and one which I; they were all anxious to further, both a# men of business, and as citirens. of the great Empire to which they belonged. Temptations of Western Australia. He had noticed in the show here that there was a very fine exhibition on the part of Western Australia, holding out tempting prospects to people to desert this worn-out country, and try their fortunes in newer and larger spheres. Undoubtedly a great deal of development could be done, and would have to be done, not only in Western Australia, but in Australia generally. No doubt we had there a targe continent, which at present rejoiced in largo resources and small population, and ho had no doubt that Sir Newton Moore, like other eminent representatives whom he had the boncu] of knowing, would bo glad to see some more population in order to enaible them to have ivoro rapid develop- ment of the large resources that existed in that iQountry. He would ask Sir Newton Moore to address them. (Ap- plaufc.'i I Sir Newton Moore, K.C.M.C. j Sir Newton Moore, K.C.M.G., Agent- General for Western Australia, speaking on Dominion dtve loraiicn I and Britkjh trade," said he regarded Western Aus- ¡ tralia, with ifts sparse population of o30,000 souLs or one ittdirktiuaJ for every three square milas of territory, pro- vided unique opportunities. He had had the opportunity of -visiting their charming Principality, and (observing its outward signs of prosperity. He was net surprised at this, for he had met in Australia many who, iwrfch glowing pride, had informed him that they had sprang from its soil. In his State it was the custom to regard a. Welshman as a solid uan, and the success Welsh- men generally managed to make of their business supported that view. Many of their prominent business men had come from Wales, or were of Welsh origin, and lIe wished more would go there frcm the Principality. I j The Show. I I  Incident-ally, the leaker mniarked j I that he had "isited the three hst Bath and West shows, and that now in pro- gress in Swansea, he thought, compared very favourably with the two previous ones. Tf the weather improved, he thought they would bo able to show a record attendance. | Having re-iii-trked -that the Western Australia exhibit at the show should be of interest to every b:itiness møn., Sir Newton, speaking as an Australian I' Imperialist, said the welfare of the Dominions connoted the welfare of the United Kingdom and vioe-veraa; the prosperity and welfare of a | part was prosperity and wel- fare 0': the whole He empha- si-ed as an important aspect of Im- per-ial expansiom, that in the develop- ment stages, in the task of making the empire greater and grander than it ever had been, the dominions had to look to the old country's assistance in both money and men. In the past the financial assistance had been freely given-of course., on a thorough business j basis, 1 Huge Business Proposition. I I Proceeding, the Agent-General com- bat ted criticisms of the size of the Commonwealth's public debt,and empha- 1 sised that the capital had been em- ployed in a great scheme of Imperial i development, and that th.3 empire was a huge business proposition. For al- most every sovereign spent Australia had something tangible to show. Western Australia, after paying all working expenses, and returning a sufficient sum practically to pay the in- terest on the whole of their public debt, had built up a sinking fund of something like 3-i millions. The money expended had I been on directly productive works, and I not: only had the population increased, but per capita imports had also in- creased. They realised it was impossible to develop the country without emigra- tion to it. but he wished to point out that emigration was not all a loss to 1 the o!d country. Their imports from Wales were not great, but very often they had placed orders for rails in the neighbourhood of Swansea and Cardiff I —orders that could not have been placed unless people came out from the old country, a.nd (Settling on the land, necessitating railways being construe- i«* I Wanted to Keep Country British. I I They wanted to keep the country (Sir Newton aaid), as far as possible British. He emphasised the important part the Koolgardie gold discovery played in West Australia's history, pointed out how agriculture followed, and commented on the action? which he initiated, of restricting the area of land: occupied by one individual, realising that it was better for the couctry that a man should have a smaller area on which to concentrate his energies than a larger one to be used as a ahe?p walk, The male population's proportion of ] j ten to seven of the female necessitated 1 substantial encouragement to the latter. He did not suggest emigration for a, man well established in the old country Ifier all, one of the prettiest in the world—but there were opportunities for young men with determinatiou and courage. The Commonwealth had realised that as far as defence was concerned it was necessary to do something more than 1 talk. It could not afford a standing army, and any other scheme than that. L ) i which they had decided on would hare I been impossible. Australian Land Policy. I The President moved a very hearty vote of thanks to Sir Newton Moore for I his kindness in being present and giving such a.u extreme]y interesting and a?!e addres: It was very difficult for them to realise the vastness of the territories, or the intensity of the work, which was I covered in every part of the Dominion. In a, very short. space of time, and in a convincing manner, he had spoken of the development of t,he, important territory of Western Australia, and it had been of great value and interest to all of them. He was very much interested in what Sir Newton Moore told them about the way he dealt with the land question in Australia, and ho was still more glad to bear that the policy-which Wat severely criticised at one time, hf. believed—had turned out extremely successful in developing the country. He was sure that Sir Newton Moort would feel that he had not paid-a, visit to Swansea in vain, and that they al appreciated very much the very in teresthig address he had giverr them He (Sir Alfred) had the pleasure th( previous day at the show of eating on( of the excellent apples to which Si] Newton Moore referred, and he woujd like to bear personal testimony to ths fact that it was one of the best apples he had tasted anywhere. (Applause.) Financial Position. I With regard to the interesting financial figures he had aiveu them, he (Sir Alfred) quite agreed with what Sir Newton Moore had said about the question of indebtedness. After all, indebtedness was only an expression of speech. The question was what did they get for the money they had lent. If a nation borrowed money for the purpose of building railways, they might look upon railways as a sound enterprise, which paid good profits, aud they couki scarcely call that indebtedness. It was merely indebtedness in the sense that they might have to pay money at some future dâte, bu't they had a great asset in the profits, and the people who lent the money had a great asset in the development of the country alL well as in the railways themselves. TheKefore, in looking at these new countries. í:i.n. in some cases, old countries Jike, tJfieir own, he was a little heteradox conf- pared with some so-called ifnancial experts, who seemed to lump together all monies which a country or a munici- pality borrowed without any regard at all as to how the money had been spent, and whether the money haobeen spent on things which were bringing in a profit or not. Old and New Countries. r If was obvious that a.u old country which ivas not reproductive would very soon bo ;n the bankruptcy court, but that was a very different position to the conn try which borrowed money as they did for the Cool gar die water supply, which was undoubtedly one of the greatest and boldest schemes which was ever carried out from a financial or engineering point of view. There it was a proposition of fin-ding; inon-ev to make a very valuable goidfield capable of development Without water it was no use, and with water it became an enormous asset, and, a."i a business man, he should have much less hesitation in lending money on a scheme of that kind than he would have in lending m-oney on something in a country with a bigger population which had no chance of earning a dividend. There were other topics that Sir Newton Moore touched upon, such as Imperial defence, in which they were all greatly interested, and he congratulated Australia on the very patriotic and virile character she had shown in the defence of her territory. (Applause.) Mr. T. P: Cook seconded the resolu- tion of thanks to Sir Newton Moore for -N ewton 3 l oore for his iutensek* interesting address. The resolution was carried, and Sir Newton Moore replied. Messrs. G. S. Harris, R..1. Mat- thews, R. C. Wilkie, and A. E..
