Australia Considers Her T r ade
After War Like Other Nations
MELBOURNE, Australia, May 9.
The question of post-bellum trade,
which is being considered by all the
Entente Allies, is receiving its share of
attention in Australia.
The Federal Parliament has already
annulled certain metal contracts under
which German concerns gathered sup
plies of ores from Australian mines
and had entered largely into the con
duct of the mining industry in the
commonwealth. It has furthermore set
out to insure that smelting of native
ores shall be done in Australia so
that by the time the war is over the
local smelting plants shall all be in
dependent of German works of the
kind. The Federal Government has
also tackled the complicated question
of patents held by German firms or
individuals and has removed from them
the protection of the British crown on
the principle that that protection had
been abused; and certain firms de
clared to be "enemy firms’’ have been
gbut off from further business while
others of suspected quasi enemy char
acter have been obliged to purge
themselves of reputed or proven Ger
man or Austrian influences, personal
and monetary.
But it is being urged that private
and individual steps in the directions
indicated have so far amounted to al
most nothing, and that chambers of
commerce and of manufactures should
enter more heartily into the campaign.
Notwithstanding there have been
speeches, interviews and suggestions
by business men of more or less prom
inence all over Australia and trade
fairs and like affairs have been held to
give point to the cry for “trade within
the empire" and "home manufacturer
and consumption," the net effect it is
contended has been small. Recently
the Sydney Chamber of Commerce ad
opted this resolution which may be
taken as a fair example of action by
other similar bodies in other parts of
the Commonwealth:
"That this chamber places on record
with a view to stimulating and increas
ing production within the empire, and
thereby to some extent easing the en
ormous financial burdens forced upon
us by the .nations at present at war
with us, its desire to cooperate with
any practical proposals for encourage
ment of trade within the empire and
believes that the imposition of a sur
tax on goods manufactured within the
territories of such nations will be the
most effective means to attain this
end.
“That the British and Australian
governments be urged to cooperate
with the manufacturing industries by
Pryor, J. S. Williams.

establishing laboratories and centers
of scientific research such to be avail
able to manufacturers throughout the
empire.”
"Scientific management’’ as it is
known in the United States and is
practiced in Germany has been agitat
ed in Australia before the war broke
out; but on the whole the piinciples of
it had met with a cold reception. Now
it is coming to the fore with an em
phasis derived from the war, but what
will be the outcome time alone can tell
since the average employer in
Australia before believes that he has
little to learn on this score; he is
hampered by state-socialist laws and
the powerful trades unions to the view
that “scientific management” is mere
ly another name of exploitation of the
working classes. z
Then there is the matter of shipping
with which in the case of Australia it
is said a heavy blow could be dealt
German commerce after the war should
Britain, the British dominions overseas
and the Allies of Great Britain resolve
upon a policy of penalization. The
Commonwealth has a coast line as
great as that of the United States, it is
a heavy importer and it maintains a
huge water-borne traffic with Europe,
Asia and America. On this point the
Australian section of the London
Chamber of Commerce has come out
strongly in support of this proposal by
a British Chamber of Commerce com
mittee:
"Evidence brought before us has
disclosed the extent to which enemy
shipping has been subsidized by the
German government mainly for the
benefit of the export trade in compe
tion with British, neutral or Allied
shipping—a fact which has been
brought home in connection with the
large quantities of goods of British
ownership contained in enemy vessels
taking refug® or detained in neutral
ports since the declaration of war. The
trade sections with practical experi
ence of this kind generally agre that a
substantial tax leviable by the states
of the empire should be imposed upon
the tonnage of all enemy ships using
the ports of the empire after the war.”
