Is the right honorable gentleman in a position to make a statement concerning: (a) The discussions that were held last Saturday between the Secretary of State of the United States of America, <inline font-weight="bold">Mr. Dean</inline> Rusk, and the Soviet Foreign Minister, <inline font-weight="bold">Mr. Gromyko,</inline> on world affairs and particularly in reference to the situation in Laos; (b) any other developments concerning events in that troubled area and the discussions that are now proceeding at the conference of the South-East Asia Treaty Organization in regard to Laos; and, (c) the reported and alleged statements of ViceAdmiral <inline font-weight="bold">Sir Roy</inline> Dowling in regard to Australia's preparedness in the event of war in Laos? </para>

<para>- While the Government has some knowledge of the discussions to which the honorable gentleman had referred between the United States Secretary of State, <inline font-weight="bold">Mr. Dean</inline> Rusk, and the Soviet Foreign Minister, <inline font-weight="bold">Mr. Gromyko,</inline> I am not in a position at present to recount what may be known of these discussions. I am sure that we all hope that success and progress will attend the discussions which are designed to advance the cause of disarmament, and that we shall come closer to the point of enduring world peace. All the weight and influence of the Australian Government will go behind efforts to achieve that end. I am sure that when the Prime Minister returns, he will wish to take an early opportunity to recount to the Parliament what occurred at the recent conference of Commonwealth Prime Ministers and that he will make a statement as well on the situation in Laos and the South-East Asia Treaty Organization conference which he is to attend al Bangkok. </para>
</talk.start>
<para>I am not in possession of the precise details of what Vice-Admiral Dowling, who is Chairman of the Australian Chiefs of Staff Committee, said or is reported to have said. Vice-Admiral Dowling is the principal Australian military adviser in this sphere and he is aware that the military preparations which the Australian Government and Australian Parliament combined have made over many years to equip Australia to meet an emergency are effective. No doubt he commented on this as a military personage. </para>
<para>The matter of commitments which Australia may make in the future, of course, is completely within the control of the Australian Government. I say without equivocation that the aspiration of the Australian Government and, I am sure, of the Australian Parliament, is that the problems in Laos shall be resolved satisfactorily by political means and not by military intervention. </para>

<para>- I ask the Treasurer whether it is a fact that in late February of this year the American Management Association sponsored a three-day seminal which decided that Australian business offers the stability of the English common law and gains for investors in it a partnership in a fairly sophisticated business community. As a result of this decision, did that seminar agree that Australia was the best country in the world in which to invest? </para>

<para>- The only knowledge I have of the details of the seminar to which the honorable member refers ls that which I have acquired through press reports. I hope to read a much more detailed account of the discussions that took place when the information is available 10 me in Australia. I find nothing surprising in what has been reported of those discussions. Rather am I gratified by these reports. I believe there is a growing recognition in the United States of America that Australia, with a stable political and economic situation, and with a great potential for development, offers a security of investment - indeed an attractiveness of investment - which could bring large quantities of investment capital from the United States. It is known that American interest iri Australia has been increasing. I believe the proportion of American funds in overseas investments in Australia has been increasing. We welcome these developments if, accompanying them, there is a growing participation by Australians in work or investment in these enterprises. There are many important ties between our two countries. We have common interests of a very significant kind and, to the extent to which trade and commerce between us can be fostered as a result of discussions of this kind, I am sure we all welcome and applaud them. </para>

<para>- I address my question to the Attorney-General in his capacity as Minister representing the Minister for National Development. I ask whether in the last quarter housing activity has decreased significantly in the south Wollongong and Illawarra districts. Is the Government aware that if this is so there may be a shortage of new employees in the rapidly expanding steel industry and in ancillary heavy industries such as coal-mining? Also, is the Government aware that the housing development companies are curtailing their activities, giving as reasons the restriction of credit and inadequate water reticulation? Is it a fact that there was no intention to produce this result when the economic measures were brought down? When the Government is looking at the housing situation, will it consider this area as a special case? Is it a fact that the Australian steel industry is one of the most efficient in the world? If its maximum development is hampered, will this in turn prevent maximum development in Australia, reduce exports and in the long term increase imports of steel? Will the Government look at this as an extremely urgent matter? My question is supplementary to that asked by the honorable member for Cunningham yesterday. </para>

However, I shall ask my colleague in another place to supply answers to the honorable member's questions. </para>

<para>- Some time last year - I cannot remember the month - the pineapple industry submitted a stabilization scheme to the Commonwealth Government through me and we sought further information on it. In the meantime, the industry decided to amend its plan and to submit a plan to the State Government. This was more to its liking. The State Government approved of the proposal. The plan was in turn submitted to the pineapple growers by referendum and was endorsed. However, after the referendum, it was ascertained that it was not possible legally to implement the plan by legislation. That is the present position. The industry and the State Minister no doubt will now have further conferences on the matter. </para>

<para>- The composition of delegations sent by the A.C.T.U., or for that matter by the constituent Trades and Labour Councils, to any overseas country is a matter for the councils to decide. I think every one in the House knows that an active Communist, whether he be at home or abroad, is a source of mischief and treachery, whatever he may be doing, and I think that this is peculiarly so with respect to the sending of delegations to the newly emerged free countries of the world, which, after all, are striving for the maintenance of freedom and not for domination by the Communists. I think that perhaps the wise thing to do, in order to indicate the feeling of some members in this House, would be to send the honorable gentleman's question to the Australian Council of Trade Unions with a request that that body circulate the text among its constituent Trades and Labour Councils. </para>

<para>- I can well understand <inline font-weight="bold">Mr. Chamberlain</inline> wishing that he had the Prime Minister leading his party. Unfortunately, <inline font-weight="bold">Mr. Chamberlain's</inline> statement was not in accordance with the facts. I said in this House a few days ago that the policy of this country with respect to the recognition of Communist China and its seating in the United Nations had not altered. I repeat that. But I think it is very important to call the attention of the House again to the several distinctions that have to be observed in considering this matter. It is one thing to bring Communist China to the conference table to discuss disarmament outside the United Nations. I remind the House that the ten-nation committee on disarmament is a body outside the United Nations, although it has undertaken to report to the United Nations. Recognition of Communist China in the juristic sense is a different thing again. The Australian Labour Party tries to make this a simple issue, but it is not. Communist China will not accept recognition unless it has control of Formosa - unless we put the whole of the Formosan people under its control. We say again that we will not be a party to that. </para>
</talk.start>
<para>The seating of Communist China in the United Nations is a different thing again, and this raises quite involved questions. At the present time, the United Nations seat ot China, as referred to in the United Nations Charter, is occupied by the Republic of China. The question strictly is not one of admitting China to the United Nations. It is a question of turning out Formosa in order to put Communist China in. Chen Yi, the Foreign Minister of Communist China, a few days ago made it quite plain in a statement - he was emphatic - that he would not entertain as a solution the recognition of two Chinas. Until some such thing is worked out, the seating of Communist China and its recognition by the United Nations are separate and quite different issues, apart from the question of recognition in the juristic sense, and, of course, quite apart again from trade, which does not rest on recognition or a seat in the United Nations, or on the admission of Communist China to the disarmament committee. </para>
<para>I would like to conclude by saying quite emphatically that <inline font-weight="bold">Mr. Chamberlain's</inline> view, that the Formosans are expendable, is not the view of this Government. </para>

In other words, will the Australian Government's representatives walk out of the United Nations, or will they then recognize red China? I would ask him, too, what authority he has for saying that <inline font-weight="bold">Mr. Chamberlain</inline> said the Formosans were expendable, other than a press report which <inline font-weight="bold">Mr. Chamberlain</inline> disputes. </para>

<para>- My question is directed to the Acting Prime Minister, in his capacity as Minister for Trade. In view of the increases in overseas shipping freight rates and their effect particularly on the cost of marketing our exported fruit, will the right honorable gentleman consider a system of freight rebates, which would enable Australia to compete effectively with other countries which enjoy the advantages of short hauls and consequently much smaller freight charges? </para>

<para>- I would need a proposal in some concrete form before I could react to the suggestion implicit in the honorable member's question. The fact of the matter is that fruit exporters are at a double disadvantage at the present time, with comparatively low prices being received for their products in distant markets, and with high freight charges having to be met. But I can assure the honorable member, and all others who are interested in fresh fruit export, that under the system of freight determination that has been agreed to between shippers and ship-owners, a freight rise of 19 per cent, for fresh fruit would have been justified on the basis of the agreed formula. The shippers of fruit took advantage of a provision in the agreement that they could appeal in certain cases of hardship, and the ship-owners, fairly readily, I think, were induced to reduce the extent of the increase to 7i per cent. After further approaches, in which I personally figured, the increase was reduced to 5.8 per cent., if I remember the figure precisely. That is the level of the increase this year. </para>

I preface it by saying that in reply to a number of questions about the Newcastle University College, the chairman of the Australian Universities Commission, <inline font-weight="bold">Sir Leslie</inline> Martin, said that the Tighe's Hill site and arrangements were sufficient but not ideal, and that it was unlikely that any additional funds would be recommended for the development of the college on the present site. Will the Government consider making a special grant of £100,000, so that planning may be proceeded with immediately on the basis of the establishment of an autonomous university on the selected and very satisfactory site at Shortland? Did the Government make a special grant of £150,000 to the Victorian Government for the purchase of land for, and the planning of, the Monash University? If this is so, why does not the Government make a similar grant for a university at Newcastle? </para>

<para>- I am not an expert in these matters, as honorable members know, but I think an established procedure has been evolved as a consequence of the Commonwealth's recent intervention in the matter of providing financial aid for universities. The position in respect of Newcastle, as I understand it - and, for that matter, in respect of any other centre where a similar proposal is made - is that the initiative is taken by the State Government, which makes a proposal to the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth then seeks advice from the Australian Universities Commission. I understand that a request has not been advanced by the Government of New South Wales for a new university to be established at Newcastle. On the other hand, I think that the funds for the university triennium which has just commenced have been approved and they involve substantial additional funds for the Newcastle University. </para>

<para>- The protection of the public from infection from contaminated desiccated coco-nut or other materials is a State matter and the Commonwealth is in consultation with the States on it. Measures to prevent the spread of infection have to be taken by the States. As far as quarantine goes, there have been a few shipments in which salmonella bacteria have been detected in desiccated coco-nut. Representations have been made to the Government of Ceylon in this matter. I will obtain for the honorable gentleman details of arrangements which have been made.

<para>- Has the Minister for Trade received a letter from the chairman of directors of a large textile mill near Abbotsford in Victoria? Is he aware that representatives of textile factories, particularly woollen piece-goods mills in this large textile area, have stated that the industry is in a grave position, the working week of the mills having been reduced to four days? Is he aware that the number of registered unemployed at the nearest Com- monwealth employment office at Collingwood has more than doubled since the end of December? Is he aware that the letter to which I have referred contains the assertion, which other representatives of the industry have also made, that consideration of the position by the Tariff Board since 1955 has resulted in no adequate protection being afforded and that unless something is done more directly to protect the industry it will be considerably reduced in operation because, to quote the letter to which I have referred, the Government regards the industry as expendable? Is the Minister aware of these facts? When can we expect a decision by the Government as a result of the inquiries that have been made? Can the Minister give any indication of what the decision might be? </para>

<para>- In the first place, 1 deny emphatically that the Government would regard any sector of Australian industry - I speak in particular, as the honorable member's question invites me to, about the textile industry - which has historically been protected, as being expendable. There are sectors of the Australian textile industry which have not been protected, and the honorable member may know of them. But predominantly and overwhelmingly the Australian textile industry has been a protected industry. Overwhelmingly the protection has been at a high enough level to secure to the Australian industry the major part of the Australian market. </para>

<para>I had a conference in Sydney, on Friday last, with the leaders of the Australian textile industry, the central textile control, and the problems of various sectors were discussed. It was then proposed that the woollen sector should take a step which I have described many times during the last year or two as being available to it; that is, appoint a panel of those who can speak for the industry and engage in business discussions, across a table, with experienced officers of the Department of Trade. If a prima facie case rs demonstrated for an ordinary reference of this industry to the Tariff Board, or an emergency reference under the temporary duties provision, I say here and now, as I have said on many occasions, that the reference would be made without delay. I think it will follow that there will be a consultation, upon the terms that I have invited, with the woollen sector - I think it is the one to which the honorable member refers - in the near future. </para>

<para>- My question is directed to the Postmaster-General. I preface it by reminding him that while the new country telephone directory is a decided improvement on the preceding one, there is a number of subscribers who are not at all satisfied with it. Before the next one is issued, will he give consideration, firstly, to placing the list of exchanges in the front of the book and not in the centre, as it is in the new directory? Secondly, will he also consider extending the size of the districts so as to overlap them and thus avoid the necessity for subscribers on the boundaries of districts to purchase a second directory? </para>

<para>- Since the publication of the new form of district directory I have had a number of representations made to me and representations have also been made to the Postmaster-General's Department. I agree that there are certain features of this new directory which could be improved and, therefore, I am able to tell the honorable member that the two points to which he has directed attention - that is, the list of exchanges being placed in the front of the directory, and some overlap between adjoining districts - are receiving consideration, together with other suggestions that have been put forward. We realized, when we embarked upon the production of this new type of directory, that certain faults would be disclosed and it is our intention, as the result of experience, further to improve the directories. </para>

<para>- The first part of the honorable member's statement surely indicates that he sees all things through the eyes of the socialist. I advise him to await the details of the Government's policy before he anticipates just what its contents may be. As to the recent loan experience, such examination as I have been able to make of the position suggests that the volume of insurance company investment was of approximately the same order as on the two previous occasions. This is not necessarily a net investment, as insurance companies have a turnover of securities, and experience has shown that investment by them in one particular loan is usually followed by the liquidation by them of Commonwealth securities which they had acquired earlier. In the result, over the period of ten years to the end of 1959, whilst the holdings by the insurance companies of government securities generally increased by £81,000,000 out of a total increase in the assets of the companies of £562,000,000, only £4,000,000 of that amount was invested in Commonwealth loans. As I said, the volume of subscriptions to the recent loan was not of an abnormal character, and certainly did not appear to reflect any anticipation of government legislation. </para>

<para>- So far as migrants from South Africa are concerned, the Government has for some time now had a phase of attraction which we describe as our general assisted passage scheme, under which the Commonwealth pays approximately half of the fare to Australia which, in exact terms, is £71 8s. 6d., for approved migrants from South Africa. Since my honorable friend from Ryan has raised this subject, he and the House might be interested to know that the volume of applications and, indeed, of migrants from South Africa who have entered Australia has increased quite sharply and indeed very noticeably in the last three years. </para>

<para>- I should have thought that the honorable member for Parkes could be expected to listen to what I have to say instead of making such a flood of commentary, because this is a matter of some importance to the House. To show the honorable member for Ryan the increasing number of people who are coming to Australia from South Africa I inform him that, if my memory is not faulty, in 1958 a total of 379 South Africans came to Australia, in 1959 the figure had risen to 579, and in the year 1960 no fewer than 1,390 came to these shores. As to the future, <inline font-weight="bold">Mr. Speaker,</inline> I do not think that at this stage, when so many matters resulting from South Africa's projected withdrawal from the Commonwealth have yet to be determined, it would be very profitable for the Government to announce any change in its present policy towards recruitment of immigrants from South Africa. </para>
