In a month or two water from the dammed Molon Glo River will begin flowing into Lake Bur Ley Griffin and the capital of Australia after 50 years of Early Hopes then scorn neg Lect and controversy will Blos som As its original architect planned it or very nearly so. Canberra was born at the turn of this Century when the six self governing australian states decided to federate into toe Commonwealth of austra Lia.

The states especially new South Wales and Victoria the two comparative giants in population and wealth eyed the National body suspiciously at first. Jealousies precluded the selection of either state s or Melbourne the National capital. A new City had to be built and preferably one sited Equi dist ant from Sidney and Mel Bourne. After years of Wrang ing while the Federal Parlia ment sat temporarily Beirne the Choice fell Toucan Berra somewhat nearer Syd Ney 150 air Miles than Mel Bourne 295 air Miksz but sufficiently removed from both to ensure a separate individuality. When building began in 1911, Canberra was merely a name. The site was part of a sheep vast Plain watered by the Molon Glo River dominated by a couple of modest sized Hills Black Mountain and it. Ainslie hot in sum Mer and Bleak i Winter As is the Way with most australian Inland areas. Indeed about this time somebody described it acidly As a Good sheep station Cherry Trees Bloom on outskirts of Canberra Garden Chy but Burley Griffin a Young american architect who bad won a world wide Competition with his design for the new capital was wildly enthusiastic. He planned a spacious Garden City with government buildings grouped South of the River a business Quarter to the North and attractive Villas in Model suburb. The Molon Glo an unpredictable and untidy Stream he proposed to reshape into an elaborate ser ies of lakes. It was. Uphill work. Canberra was a windswept Plain broken Only by the Odd native gum tree. As building proceeded a Nursery had to be established and thousands of English Trees raised for transplanting. Nor were natural handicaps to prove the biggest setback. The. Johnny had a Motorboat with engine Strong and loud and everywhere that Johnny went he loved to draw a crowd. He d zoom and zip across the Lake and really make an awful Wake canoes and boats for Miles around would make for Home and solid ground.

By 1947, Canberra the Nati onal capital by name was still Little More than a Village though with its thousands of Trees grown to maturity and spacious lawns a Beautiful one. Its population was just Over building and development has been stationary since 1939. Many important government departments were still quartered in Melbourne and anyone who could hastened to get away from the place to escape its dead weekends As the Post War Boom Gath ered Way however a few individuals and organizations and finally the Federal government became seized with the idea that it was about time Canberra was made a truly National capital or the whole concept abandoned. No slackening action followed in 1956 when the Federal government appointed a National capital development commission and decided to Transfer various government departments from Melbourne within four years. By 1961, Canberra s Popula Tion had grown to and everywhere new office build Ings schools shops and houses were filling up the gaps in the Central City area and spread ing into adjacent sheep lands. There has been no slackening in the past couple of years. The City s population has Pas sed 70jooo and with every indication that the present an Nual growth of 10 to 12 per cent will continue Canberra expects to reach in 1969 and by the end of this Century. The appointment of the National development commis Sion ensured that this Mush room development did not conflict with the original concepts of Canberra As a planned Garden City. Invested with extraordinarily wide Powers wider than any other City planning body in the world the commission has been Able to Lay Down and enforce the highest standards in All new building from government offices to Villas and blocks of Flats. It has been Able too to carry to fruition the most controversial part of Burley Griffin s prize winning plan _ the lakes scheme. Many experts doubted its feasibility but the chief commissioner j. W. Overall has always been a lakes Champion and he has pressed through an ambitious if slightly modified scheme at a Cost of some where Burley grif Fin planned a series of lakes or. Overall is putting the Fin Ishing touches to one Large irregular shaped Lake some four Miles Long by up to half a mile wide pushed into three basins. Flood Gates two Graceful Bridges one completed and the other nearly ready will Span the Lake which will the administrative Section of Canberra from civic Centre the main business and shopping area. The level of the Lake will be controlled by Hood Gates four and a half Miles up the Mol Anglo River. It should provide Good fishing boating and sail ing. When filled by the end of the year the Lake will bring a new cohesion to Canberra covering the meandering and somewhat scruffy bed of the Molon Glo As it passes through the City coordinating traffic and bringing a Lakeside Beauty to Many government build Ings and several suburbs. Eventually a permanent parliament House the present building was designed As a temporary expedient will Rise on the Southern Shore of Central Basin the main Sec Tion of the three Basin Lake which will be bounded by for Mal gardens lawns and Pic nicking areas.

It s a far cry from the 1947 Canberra but Burley Griffin rest peacefully in his grave. His Ideal City is taking shape at last. 1m3 observer foreign news service i by Denis Warner 1 Singapore special broken Cord can be joined but break charcoal and the break is forever says a pro is verb common to Malaya in Donesia and the Philippines. Last june the Cord was close to burning As at least two of these states moved per piously close to War. Today in i one of the remarkable. About turns in there is serious talk about joining the Cord in one big Happy malay family. The Prospect is breath taking so utopian so utterly Desir Able in so Many ways for the participants that its Public and even private rejection by any of the leaders would be impolitic. For if in their minds they know it cannot be in their hearts they feel it must. It is exciting dramatic the sort of proposal to stir the blood of every emotional malay. No wonder that it has hit the front Page headlines in every asian newspaper. It is easy to list the reasons Why such a confederation can never be. The Philippines for example is a Catholic coun try while Malaya and indo Nesia Are both predominantly Muslim. Seato member the Philippines is so anti communist that it declines even to Trade with China. It is one of the three asian Mem Bers of Seato South East Asia treaty organization de and its air and naval bases Are not Only an essential part of the . Far East defence network but there by treaty right. Malaya scarcely less anti communist has a similar relationship with Britain. Indo Nesia has so h title official fear of communism that its presi Dent plans to include them the announcement May be expected on August 17 in a Nasa Kom nationalist religious and Cabinet. Its official relations with the soviet Union and communist China Are close and Friendly and it despises and affects to fear its cousins alliances with the West. Malaya population Turku Abdul Rahman Malaya s prime minister is Small and Rich. Is it asked to share its wealth with a prosperous Indonesia popu lation. 100 or with the middling Large population so million and less than middling prosperous Philippines who to Lead Malaya and the Philippines believe in the Western forms of democracy and provided he can t be accused of communist inclinations in the of the individual. Indonesia under its present leadership cannot Bear Wes Tern democracy and has Little respect for the Freedom of the individual. Malaya and the Philippines believe in free Enterprise. Indonesia opts for a form of socialism which draws heavily on communist experience. Who could Lead such a con federation would t it Lead. R inevitably to indonesian Domi nation of the entire area these and a score of other questions remain to be an swered. Yet in the common in Terest of the countries concerned in the interest of stability in South East Asia and even in Australia s interest there is much to commend in the proposal. Racially the links Are Strong. That the three Peoples have followed such divergent paths is primarily the Accident of european colonialism and the manner of its going. And in any event the future not the past is what they must be concerned with. Nightmares though they Are not All afraid of communism they Are fearful of the chinese and chinese expansionism. In their nightmares the chinese do Minate All of Continental East Asia and off Shore East Asia also. Divided they might fall one by one to the chinese designs. United they Are a potential counter Force. Eventually Malaya and the Philippines in div the Western bases from which they draw their Security now. Will be withdrawn and then they will be in the same boat with the indonesians. In t the Wise course to face the Challenge now it is unlikely that the con federation will appear Over night. But the idea is so at Tractive it can scarcely to " germinate and persist if the hearts of every malay whether he comes from the Jungles of Sumatra the rubber plantations of Johore or the Rice Fields of Luzon.
