3. (AP.) New overtures were made by the United 1 States to Australia today in an efiort to end a trade impasse which has confronted the two nations more than five months. A note transmitted to the commonwealth government by Secretary Hull expressed a hope that favorable prospects for the financial and economic stability of Australia would impell it to abandon practices which this government views as discriminatory against American trade. On the eround that America's heavily favorable balance in their commerce was a factor threatening Australia's financial position, that government last May invoked a series of prohibitions on imports ot American goods, increased tariffs and other acts under which it was estimated this country would suffer a tradt loss of aproximately annually. The United States retaliated bv removing Australia from the list of countries to which it extends most favc-ed tariff treatment.

As soon as the Australian restrictions are relaxed, it was indicated here, the American counter move will be revoked. Hull asserted that recent action of leading gold countries in collaborating to prevent international monetary fluctuations tended to assure Australia's economic future.

"Fairly remote from its larger Spanish sister cities but only five miles from a foreign frontier," continues the bulletin, "Badajoz, for a thousand years, has been accumulating enough defenses to make It resemble one huge fort. "In addition to the security afforded by the river, the city protected itself with a moat, bastioned wails, fortified gates, and several outlying castle strongholds. Its early prominence was clue to its becoming capital of a small Mriorish kingdom in the eleventh century. "Thereafter, its defenses were tested by Portuguese, Spanish, Kng- lisn. and rrenrn attacks Welling-j ton took it bv assault from the French in 1811 Many of the fortifi-! cations had crumbled away in re- cent, years.

"Badajoz supplied many of the conquistadors who sailed from Por-; tuguese and Spanish ports to grow wealthy in the New World.
