[Following paragraph crossed out]
Lately arrived as reinforcements from Australia Sisters say that hundreds are going back out of every batch of arrivals- men who should never have left Australia, some came for the trip, others are really keen but unfit the cost to the people of Australia is about 120/-/- each man, so you see the loss.
