We have received the first two numbers of the Forum,
an Australian journal similar to the Spectator, which is being published fortnightly at 52 Pitt Street, Sydney. It costs six- pence a number. The editors are Mr. D. D. graham, late of the Times, and Mr. W. J. Cornforth, and most of the articles are signed by well-known names. Like the Canadian Forum, which was started a few months ago, this new journal intends to discuss the many current problems that interest intelligent men and women. We are greatly impressed with the high quality of the writing, and we feel sure that the Forum will help to form as well as to express Australian public opinion. Its main policy will be to uphold " the old-fashioned virtues of self-reliance, thrift and Industry, which it is now the fashion to look down upon because they are homely and unattractive, the old-fashioned economic truths which it is now the fashion to disregard because they are unpalatable."
