The excellent geographical position is combined with natural re-sources, far too great for the six million people and leading to an overestimation of the real value of Australian isolation. Up to a certain degree,. this isolation is but a fictitious one as it is backed by the powerful though invisible support of the British Empire with its fleet, its vast capitals invested in Australia, and the many other privileges which like a wise mother it grants without speaking about them.

Apparently the extreme class-socialism regardless of the interests of the country as a whole and of all claims of a reasonable economic system, gets Australia into a difficult political Situation, and it will be hard to find a way out of it without sacrificing many principles hi-therto considered as infallible.

The mental attitude regarding the greatest possible isolation as the best means to secure and to guarantee the materiał equality of the white Australian population, is breathing its last because its responsible representatives failed to curb and to check the revolutionary tendencies in good time. Ali thinking Australians begin to see that the isolation of Australia from the rest of the world cannot continue, and there can be no doubt that in a near futurę we shall witness interesting attempts on the part of Australia to extricate itself from the critical Situation brought about by too one-sided an exploitation of its island position and of its natural resources in carrying through social reformš for which the humanity, still regarding systematic work as an evil, is not yet ripe.
