Again,â€"the losses on State shipping have been so serious that the Commonwealth Govâ€" ernment has relrctantly found itself compelled to abandon its shipping venâ€" ture, and the ships have been sold off. The many smalier State enterprises on which Australia has embarked also show heavy losses. These definite reâ€" sults fully justify the Duickham Comâ€" mission in their strong recommendaâ€" tion to Australia to look fozrmper- ity to private enterprise, ing its own risks in the hope of securing proâ€" fits, rather than to State interference with trade and industry.

Dr. Barry died in July of that year, and it was then officially reported to the Horse Guards that the doctor was a woman.
