Munyan, D. U.S. Would Spur Trade To Australia Commonwealth Govern- ment Urged to Abandon Practices Considered Discriminatory Here Washington, Nov. overtures were made by the United States to Australia today in an effort to end a trade impasse which has confronted the two nations more than five months. A note transmitted to the commonwealth government by tary Hull expressed 8 hope Secret: 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 ground 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 of American goods, increased tariffs and other acts under which it was estimated this country would suffer of aproximately 000 annually. The United States retaliated by removing Australia from list of countries to which it extends most favered 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.

The city's 40,000 inhabitants live on a line of hills above the broad Guariana River, which, five miles farther down stream, becames a part of the boundary between Spain and Portugal.

"Fairly remote from its larger Spanish sister cities but only five miles from a foreign 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 walls, fortified gates, and several outlying castle strongholds. Its early prominence was due to its becoming capital of a small Moorish kingdom in the eleventh century. "Thereafter, defenses were tested by Portuguese, Spanish, English, and French attacks. Wellington took it by assault from the French in 1811.

Many of the fortifications had crumbled away in recent years. "Badajoz supplied many of the conquistadors who sailed from tuguese and Spanish ports to grow wealthy in the New World, Its most distinguished citizen, however, was not a. military man, but the sance painter Luis Morales. "The city has busied itself in recent years with the ceramic indusmarble quarries of the neighborhood, and with shipping into Portugal."
