of Australia has started s process

steel plant is to be oorutructed and
equipped in every way to meet the
competition of the trust. Australia

an experiment, because la many

; vantage of the nation to operate
| manufacturing Industries.
I The advanced positiou taken by
!the socialistic country may result In
Reaching the United States some
thing about the control of trusts.
