Look Abroad!

Letter to the Editor WELL-WISHERS of local co-operative projects will approve of current in vestigations in Australia. But the Administration should not overlook the wider field; several significant movements are' developing overseas.
In Baffin Land, the local natives are progressing towards the installment of a refrigerator in every home, under the slogan, “Ice in every igloo”. In Tibet, a society of fallen women is providing home-woven hair shirts for the more austere of the monastic orders, the slogan here being, “You want it. We have it”.
Substantial parties of Administration officers should be flown by chartered plane to, investigate these projects, I think.
This is no time to consider expense, and every Australian taxpayer should be proud to help those who in 1942 (with some help from the AIF and the Ameri can forces) saved Australia from in vasion.
I am, Yours faithfully,
G. T. Gemmell.
