CHAPTER  

AUSTRALIA ANS NEW ZEALAND  

The world interests of Australia and New Zealand are,  

properly viewed, not identical but inseparable. There are great  

differences of economic structure, for Australia nowadays*, has  

highly sophisticated and complex economy based upon great primary  

<2 ÎŠ  

v/ industries, mineral resources developing at astonishing speed, huge  

Ct Cl di  

eavy industries such as iron and steely and manufacturing activities  

and production of great variety and growing efficiency, while New  

Zealand still has relatively simple economy primarily based upon  

the farm and forest industries which, being most efficiently  

conducted on good soil and in drought-free climate, provide her with  

the bulk of her export income, which in turn affords the means of  

importing manufactured goods mostly produced by others.  

This comparison will not always be completely valid.  

For, though New Zealand, so far as we know, does not possess anything  

like the mineral riches of Australia or her remarkable facilities for  

the production of iron and steel, she does for example have great  

resources of hydro-electric power of great actual and potential  

significance to farmer and manufacturer alike.  

But when we turn from these economic considerations to  

the vital problems of national security in what is still most  

insecure world, to the considerations of international policy which  

have such bearing on the future, the interests of Australia and  

New Zealand are identical and ought never to be looked at in isolation.
