She has had many problems to face, among them the serious one of transportation. Of this Mr. Vaughan writes: urn)... n...... ......4.-. -0 10 Ann .~.:I..n uannu gun. -uuuauu-.u nan.-..u The Suez route of 12,000 miles from England to Australia is too much exposed to submarine attack to be of much service during war except I for fast transports and passenger ships. Even among these the toll has been so heavy that the Red Sea pas- sage is virtually closed for commer- I cial navigation. The Cape route and the Panama Canal ofer better chances against the underwater war- fare, for both the Indian ocean and the Pacic have only spasmodically been infested by raiders.

Disaster loomed ahead like a menac-1 ing rock before a. storm-driven mark; l for the price of wheat in Australia: depends wholly upon the sale of that cereal abroad, and merchants buy the I grain from farmers, only as they sell their cargoes in Mark Lane. The situation was saved only by the creation of a Government wheatl pool, in the organization of which I personally assisted. Under this plan? the Commonwealth Government and} the Governments of the wheat-pro-5 ducing states assumed control of all wheat grown, advancing to the farm- ers 72 cents a bushel, with a guar-E antee of further payments as the crop was shipped and sold. I The harvests of 1915, 1916, and 1917 were abnormal, the three years furnishing the enormous total of ap-. proximately 470,000,000 bushels. This yield of twelve and one-halll million tons of grain would have! o"crtaxed the world's available mer-} chant marine in ordinary times. With ' war licking up the tonnage aoat with an insatiable appetite the im- .` pcrative need for storing this wheatl at Australia's seaboard became ob-i viouss. Possessing no elevator stor- age s_vL=t(-in, the states were compell-l ed to improvise immense s(acks,] many of them a quarter of a mile in! .lm1gI*: and as high their ownl \\'t'lglll. would allow. ; "'l'ln-an rrwnn-,m-inc hnrtnlnn Ihn i .

Australia's War problem, how-I ever, has not been so much concern- ed with trade routes as with tonnage. The year 1914 presented no serious] transportation difficulties, for a sea- son of drouth had left the Common- wealth with no wheat and little wool or meat to send abroad. Nature, how- ever, ever correcting her balance, made up for her parsimony of 1914 by coming to us with full hands in} 1915, and Australia then reaped the! I largest harvest on record.
