L'ultima notizia, tuttavia, è che Americancapitalisti hanno acquisito un ampio tratto di terra per lo scopo della produzione di zucchero su vasta scala. L'Australia ha iniziato a calciare contro i lavoratori importati e ha fatto la sua strada. Il bianco è stato sostituito con manodopera in tinta unita nel Queensland. Le fabbriche godranno di un trattamento preferenziale nei mercati australiani, e il consumo domestico si manterrà al passo con la produzione domestica.

Sugar, cane and beet: an object lesson . ecked. The latest news, however, is that Americancapitalists have acquired a large tract of land for thepurpose of sugar production on an extensive scale. Australia has been kicking against imported labourand has had its way. White has been substituted forcoloured labour in Queensland. The factories enjoypreferential treatment in Australian markets, and hopethat home consumption will keep pace with home pro-duction. Originally their sugar production, in the earlysixties, was very primitive, At the present time their150, 000 tons are made in fifty large factories, and thecanes are grown on small farms of fifty to 300 acres bywhite labour. The farmers flourish and the industrygrows apace. It is the principal industry in NorthQueensland. Our old sugar producing colony of Mauritius has beenhaving a hard time. They made splendid sugar in theold days, only beaten by Java for quality. They dostiU better now because they make a large quantity ofwhite sugar for the Indian market, But niachinery. 98 SUGAR which was at one time superior at last became ahti-quated.

Labour isa difficulty, as with our colonies in the west, and it wouldbe wel
