Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Colorphobia an Exposure of the White Australia Fallacy
When a daily newspaper reaches such a stage of material prosperity as to warrant its proprietors in doubting Whether their statistics of circulation will be believed by the public, unless corroborated by some one else, it has (no doubt, unconsciously) made several interesting admissions. For example, there is the peculiar circum stance that While so comparatively unimportant a statement as that so many copies have been sold is deemed to require proof before accepta tion, the much more serious statement that so many persons hold a certain opinion on a certain subject is expected to be believed Without question.
