Australia is Progressive Land. Says Prof.David L.Patterson in Speech Before History Club
(2)
A
Prof. David L. Patterson, in a talk to the History club concerning his trip to Australia, described the people of our country and told of the conditions here.
The Australians, according to Professor Patterson, are accommodating and very friendly toward Americans and British, but they regard all others as foreigners. They are like the Americans, free, easy and companionable, whereas the New Zealanders are British plus, reserved for Americans. The Australians everywhere I went," said Mr. Patterson, "asked me two things: First, about prohibition and second about evolution."
They speak of England as their fatherland and home, and every Australian has the longing to some day see his home country. Professor Patterson said that he has never been given greater aid in investiture in a foreign country than by the continent of Australia.
The Australians have good schools and do a fine grade of work, Professor Patterson went on to say. He visited Queensland, Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide Universities. Their enrollment is smaller than that of schools in the United States. They have ten faculties and ten departments to separate department for education, nor do they teach American or Australian history. The schools are supported by the government.
Labor Situation in Soviet Russia Accute; Skilled Labor Shortage

Over a Million Unskilled
Laborers Out

(United Press)
Moscow, Oct. 13 - A problem of getting and doing a job in the Soviet Union under the new economic policy is just as serious for the individual citizen as it is under a capitalist regime. The time has long passed when the Communist state attempted to coerce all citizens to labor and simultaneously guaranteed them against unemployment.
There are approximately 1,100,000 unemployed in the Soviet union, according to the latest available figures. They represent just one percent of the country's urban population of the country is only about 22,000,000. However, the situation is somewhat less acute than it was in the late 1970s, because the number of unemployed was estimated at 1,400,000.
It is estimated that about 900,000 of the Russian jobsless receive some form of public assistance. About 320,000 receive doles from funds provided by the state, through unemployment and trade unions. These doles vary from 7 to 25 rubs a month. Public works provide sufficient employment to take care of 160,000 unemployed workers. There are also 1,700 associations of unemployed. The members of these associations are mostly engaged in small trade and receive certain advantages in the shape of credits from the banks and received
The unemployed are divided into the following categories: 328,000 industrial workers; 355,000 brain workers; 275,000 unskilled laborers; 144,000
It is a curious but unmistakable fact that unemployment in Russia has remained at a high figure while the country's industries have been stable, expanding. The gap is due largely to two causes. With a view to cutting down overhead costs many government institutions and factories have been reducing their office staffs and this has thrown many office workers out of work.
Moreover, there has been a steady influx of poor possessions from the villages into the cities. As a rule these immigrants are the industries cannot absorb them.
lages into the cities. As a rule these peanants are unkilled laborers and the industries cannot absorb them. Along with the general unemployment there is an actual shortage of skilled workers, especially in the textile and metal industries. The industry will estimated that 72,000 experienced workers; and as the regular technical and industrial schools only turn out from three to a half a thousand workers the textile unions will try to meet the demand instituting special short term courses for the preparation of skilled workers. The metal industry also lacks 54,700 experience.

Professor Patterson and he visited the Australian Parliament held at Melbourne, where he met the Prime Minister and leader of the Nationalist party, Hon. S. M. Bruce. He was introduced also to Mr. Charlton, the leader of the opposition and Labor party, who had returned to Parliament after the last election, according to Professor Patterson, will probably make Mr. Charlton prime minister, as under the six states are under the Labor government, Victoria being the exception. The Parliament has under consideration the immigration question, immigration being restricted there as in the United States, with restrictions on immigration to British. New Zealand is 8-1 2 per cent Britain while Australia is between 9-0 and 95 per cent British.
In illustrating that the average Australian is in good financial circumstances and has plenty of leisure time, Professor Patterson pointed out that the daily newspapers devoted 30 per cent of their space to sport, 25 per cent to advertisements, and the remaining 30 per cent to local and 'foreign news'
Professor Patterson spent 28 days en route from Lawrence to Sidney, Neptun South Wales. Ten days were spent in the tropic zone, but at Auckland on June 21, it was mid-winter with a precipitation rate of 6 mm/h. He visited four of the six Australian states, stopping at Sidney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Ancestry of Riffs Traced
The ancestry of the Rifls, against whom France and Spain are now waging a war, has recently been traced by Prof. F. Berlioux, one of the 16thmost French historians of the day. It has been found that the Rifls are Herons, the descendants of the Eurasian wild boar in northern Africa and of the Norse vikings who adventurous raids extended to Lybian shores.

Quite appropos that we should burst forth into song over these Woodland Browns and Venice Blues (suggestive of the harmony of the autumn woodlands, you know, the strain of the Venetian guitar, and all that sort of thing). They sing a song of college life too—exclusive new colorings and styles that college men want and wear.
