On World Tour
THE Minister in charge of Australia’s Pacific Territories, Mr. E. J. Ward, is expected back in Sydney on Sep tember 28. He left for London, and the ILO Conference in Geneva, accompanied by various officials, early in June. He spent some weeks at Geneva (where he strongly disagreed with what was done) and then, with Mrs. Ward and Senator Amour (another world tourist travelling at Australia’s expense) he had a wander through Western Europe, England, Scot land and Ireland; crossed to United States by luxury liner; spent a further period “studying railway systems in North America” (he is also Minister for Trans port in Australia); and he joined a ship in New Ybrk to travel leisurely to Aus tralia via Panama Canal.
