SPECIAL NOTICE TO A.N.A. BRANCHES.  

Wei will be glad to receive items of Association  

news and reports of branch meetings. This will  

tend to keep the members more in touch with  

each other, and promote friendly intercourse in

ciation.  

Contributions on National or Association topics,  

sent to the Editor, will receive careful attention,  

and will find place in our columns, should the  

subject be deemed of sufficient importance.  

Australia Wants Her Sons.  

Whilst every Australian of pure British  

descent is proud of the achievements of  

his countrymen in South Africa, and  

delighted to feel that we have contributed  

towards upholding the national honor  

there to the satisfaction of those best able  

to judge, the proposal by the South  

African authorities and the British mili-  

tary authorities, seconded by Rudyard  

Kipling and Co., to induce number of  

our citizen soldiers to settle there, would  

prove, if carried out, highly detrimental  

to our best interests.  

It was with pang of regret that  

we parted with thousands of our most  

vigorous and adventurous sons, most  

of whom went to South Africa after  

the great financial earthquake of 1893,  

and when in the latter part of the last,  

and the beginning of this year, contingent  

after contingent left to fight for British  

supremacy and equal rights between man  

and man in South Africa, whilst we  

cheered their heroic sacrifice, we all  

hoped to welcome the majority back  

again.  

Australia cannot afford to lose the  

pick of its physical manhood. With the  

establishment of the Commonwealth  

new era will dawn. This large conti-  

nent with an area approaching that of  

Europe, requires, above everything else,  

population. 4,000,000 of population of  

men, women, and children is to the land  

area very much as is drop of water to  

the bucket. The fringe of Australia and  

that only here and there, is but sparsely  

inhabited; in the vast interior still roam  

the dingo, kangaroo, and an occasional  

aboriginal.  

The type of population that should  

be encouraged to these shores is  

primary producers; husbandry is the  

basis ct all other arts, and in all countries  

coeval with the dawn of civilisation, it is  

indispensable to national prosperity. In-  

stead of encouraging our healtny and  

vigorous manhood to settle in South  

Africa, we should offer them every facility  

to return, to aid in tilling the land and  

subduing the forests, in building of dams  

and the digging of wells to conserve the  

winter rains, to develop the irrigation  

schemes which the blights of adversity  

have retarded, and to assist in many other  

ways the general advancement of the  

young nation.  

The victory which had been won had  

been greatly contributed to by the sturdy  

front shown by the A.N.A. in Victoria and  

South Australia. He knew, as fact, that  

their telegrams had been of the greatest  

service in swaying opinion in political  

circles in England.” Thus spoke J. H.  

Symon, Q.c., Convention delegate, in an  

address on “ The Assault on the Common-  

wealth Bill,” delivered recently in  

Adelaide.  

 

Mr. Dunne the defeated candidate for  

the presidency of the Warrnambool  

branch has signified his intention of mov-  

ing for the appointment of select com-  

mittee to enquire into the whole matter  

of election of president.  

*-■  

Collingwood branch has gained the  

distinction of having over 500 members.  

Bravo! Arthur. fine performance,,  

upon which we congratulate you.
