He held office as the leader of the <a href="/wiki/Nationalist_Party_(Australia)" title="Nationalist Party (Australia)">Nationalist Party</a>, having previously served as the <a href="/wiki/Treasurer_of_Australia" title="Treasurer of Australia">treasurer of Australia</a> from 1921 to 1923. Born into a briefly wealthy <a href="/wiki/Melbourne" title="Melbourne">Melbourne</a> family, Bruce studied at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Cambridge" title="University of Cambridge">University of Cambridge</a> and played a leading role in his family's softgoods firm following the suicide of his father <a href="/wiki/John_Munro_Bruce" title="John Munro Bruce">John Munro Bruce</a>. He served on the front lines of the <a href="/wiki/Gallipoli_Campaign" class="mw-redirect" title="Gallipoli Campaign">Gallipoli Campaign</a> in World War I and returned to Australia wounded in 1917, becoming a spokesman for government recruitment efforts. He gained the attention of the Nationalist Party and prime minister <a href="/wiki/Billy_Hughes" title="Billy Hughes">Billy Hughes</a>, who encouraged a political career. He was elected to the <a href="/wiki/Australian_House_of_Representatives" title="Australian House of Representatives">House of Representatives</a> in 1918, becoming member of parliament (MP) for the seat of <a href="/wiki/Division_of_Flinders" title="Division of Flinders">Flinders</a>. He was appointed as <a href="/wiki/Treasurer_of_Australia" title="Treasurer of Australia">treasurer</a> in 1921, before replacing Hughes as prime minister in 1923. He established an anti-socialist coalition government with the agrarian <a href="/wiki/Australian_Country_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="Australian Country Party">Country Party</a>, working closely with Country leader <a href="/wiki/Earle_Page" title="Earle Page">Earle Page</a> in an arrangement that pioneered the modern <a href="/wiki/Coalition_(Australia)" title="Coalition (Australia)">Liberal–National coalition</a>. In office, Bruce pursued an energetic and diverse agenda. He comprehensively overhauled federal government administration and oversaw its transfer to the new capital city of <a href="/wiki/Canberra" title="Canberra">Canberra</a>. He implemented various reforms to the <a href="/wiki/Federalism_in_Australia" title="Federalism in Australia">Australian federal system</a> to strengthen the role of the Commonwealth, and helped develop the forerunners of the <a href="/wiki/Australian_Federal_Police" title="Australian Federal Police">Australian Federal Police</a> and the <a href="/wiki/CSIRO" title="CSIRO">CSIRO</a>. Bruce's "men, money and markets" scheme was an ambitious attempt to rapidly expand Australia's population and economic potential through massive government investment and closer ties with Great Britain and the rest of the <a href="/wiki/British_Empire" title="British Empire">British Empire</a>. However, his endeavours to overhaul Australia's industrial relations system brought his government into frequent conflict with the labour movement, and his radical proposal to abolish the <a href="/wiki/Commonwealth_Court_of_Conciliation_and_Arbitration" title="Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration">Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration</a> in 1929 prompted members of his own party into <a href="/wiki/Crossing_the_floor" title="Crossing the floor">crossing the floor</a> to defeat the government. In the resounding loss at the <a href="/wiki/1929_Australian_federal_election" title="1929 Australian federal election">1929 election</a>, Bruce lost his own seat, making him the only sitting prime minister to lose his seat until <a href="/wiki/John_Howard" title="John Howard">John Howard</a>'s defeat at the <a href="/wiki/2007_Australian_federal_election" title="2007 Australian federal election">2007 election</a>. Although he returned to parliament in 1931, Bruce's service in the <a href="/wiki/Lyons_government" title="Lyons government">Lyons government</a> was brief. Instead he pursued an international career, accepting appointment as High Commissioner to the United Kingdom in 1933. Bruce became an influential figure in British government circles and at the <a href="/wiki/League_of_Nations" title="League of Nations">League of Nations</a>, emerging as a tireless advocate for international co-operation on economic and social problems, especially those facing the <a href="/wiki/Developing_world" class="mw-redirect" title="Developing world">developing world</a>. Particularly passionate on improving global nutrition, Bruce was one of the key figures in the establishment of the <a href="/wiki/Food_and_Agriculture_Organization" title="Food and Agriculture Organization">Food and Agriculture Organization</a>, serving as the first chairman of its governing council. He was the first Australian to sit in the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Lords" title="House of Lords">House of Lords</a>, as well as the first Chancellor of the <a href="/wiki/Australian_National_University" title="Australian National University">Australian National University</a>. Although his diplomatic career went largely unnoticed in Australia, he continued throughout his life in London to vociferously advocate for Australian interests (particularly during <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>) and asked that his remains be scattered over <a href="/wiki/Canberra" title="Canberra">Canberra</a> when he died. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life">Early life</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Paterson,_Laing_and_Bruce.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c7/Paterson%2C_Laing_and_Bruce.jpg/220px-Paterson%2C_Laing_and_Bruce.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c7/Paterson%2C_Laing_and_Bruce.jpg/330px-Paterson%2C_Laing_and_Bruce.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c7/Paterson%2C_Laing_and_Bruce.jpg/440px-Paterson%2C_Laing_and_Bruce.jpg 2x" data-file-width="557" data-file-height="373" /></a><figcaption>The firm of Paterson, Laing and Bruce, 1900.

His mother, Mary Ann Henderson, was Irish and had married her cousin John after emigrating to Australia in 1872 at the age of 24.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee1–2-4">[4]</a> John Bruce became a talented businessman with "a flair for buying and selling",<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2-5">[5]</a> which would secure him a partnership in an established Melbourne importing firm that in 1868 became known as Paterson, Laing and Bruce.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEdwards8-6">[6]</a> As his wealth grew, John Bruce became influential in colonial Victoria's social and political life. An avid golfer, he was one of the founders of the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Melbourne_Golf_Club" title="Royal Melbourne Golf Club">Royal Melbourne Golf Club</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEdwards9–10-7">[7]</a> He was prominent in the <a href="/wiki/Protectionist_Party" title="Protectionist Party">liberal protectionist</a> political movement within the state and an early supporter of future prime minister <a href="/wiki/Alfred_Deakin" title="Alfred Deakin">Alfred Deakin</a>. John Bruce's success ensured that Stanley Bruce, his sister Mary and his brothers Ernest, William and Robert were born into affluence. Shortly after Stanley Bruce's birth the family relocated to the stately Wombalano manor, built by John Bruce, in <a href="/wiki/Toorak,_Victoria" class="mw-redirect" title="Toorak, Victoria">Toorak</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEdwards8–9-8">[8]</a> However, John Bruce was an aloof and remote figure in the lives of his children, as his son Stanley later recounted.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee3-9">[9]</a> Despite their family's <a href="/wiki/Presbyterian" class="mw-redirect" title="Presbyterian">Presbyterian</a> background, Stanley Bruce was sent to Melbourne Church of England Grammar School (now <a href="/wiki/Melbourne_Grammar_School" title="Melbourne Grammar School">Melbourne Grammar School</a>) and subsequently Stanley Bruce would come to identify principally as <a href="/wiki/Anglican" class="mw-redirect" title="Anglican">Anglican</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee3–4-10">[10]</a> Bruce was an average student but extremely active in the sporting life of the school, captain of its <a href="/wiki/Australian_football" class="mw-redirect" title="Australian football">Australian football</a> team, and then of the school itself in 1901. Today, the school honours him with his own house, Bruce House, the colours of which are scarlet and white. The house's mascot is a lion, symbolising Bruce's bravery.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee3–4-10">[10]</a> The economic depression of the 1880s and 1890s hit the Bruce family fortunes hard. John Bruce lost much of his fortune in the Victorian bank collapse of 1894 and incurred large debts to buy out his partners in the importing business in 1897.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStirling162-12">[12]</a> The family suffered a great deal more tragedy over the coming decades. Stanley's brother William committed suicide in 1899, shortly after seeking treatment for mental illness.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee4-13">[13]</a> Just two years later John Bruce took his own life during a business trip to Paris; he had suffered from depression as a result of the great pressures on his business and finances.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee4–5-14">[14]</a> His sister Mary endured a long illness before succumbing in 1908, and his mother died too in 1912. Finally, Bruce's beloved brother Ernest the recipient, like Stanley, of an MC for bravery, shot himself in 1919, suffering from physical and mental injuries sustained during his military service in World War I.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee4–5-14">[14]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Portrait_of_S.M._Bruce.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Portrait_of_S.M._Bruce.png/170px-Portrait_of_S.M._Bruce.png" decoding="async" width="170" height="220" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Portrait_of_S.M._Bruce.png/255px-Portrait_of_S.M._Bruce.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Portrait_of_S.M._Bruce.png/340px-Portrait_of_S.M._Bruce.png 2x" data-file-width="448" data-file-height="579" /></a><figcaption>Bruce in the 1910s</figcaption></figure> In the aftermath of his father's death in 1901, the family fortunes were at a low ebb and Bruce went into the family business after leaving high school. The young Bruce was ambitious and determined to get an education. With loaned money, he moved to the United Kingdom with his mother and sister and enrolled in <a href="/wiki/Trinity_Hall,_Cambridge" title="Trinity Hall, Cambridge">Trinity Hall, Cambridge</a> in 1902.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee6-15">[15]</a> He was a popular if average student, heavily involved in the athletic life of the college, including as a member of the Cambridge rowing crew that won <a href="/wiki/The_Boat_Race" title="The Boat Race">the Boat Race</a> in 1904.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> Rowing remained one of his great passions, and he continued to coach crews (including several for the <a href="/wiki/Henley_Royal_Regatta" title="Henley Royal Regatta">Henley Royal Regatta</a>) and write on the subject for much of his life.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEdwards15–28-17">[17]</a> Ernest Bruce had remained in Australia to take charge of the family's business interests. In 1906, he lobbied the directors of the company to have his brother Stanley take over the chairmanship of Paterson, Laing and Bruce, and was ultimately successful. Despite being just 23, he proved an able chairman, and with Stanley in London managing the exporting and financial interests, and Ernest managing the importation and sales operations in Melbourne, the financial fortunes of the business and the family rapidly recovered.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee6–7-18">[18]</a> During these years, Bruce also trained and worked as a solicitor and then as a <a href="/wiki/Barrister" title="Barrister">barrister</a> in the London with the firm of <a href="/wiki/Ashurst_LLP" title="Ashurst LLP">Ashurst, Morris, Crisp & Co</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEdwards16–17-19">[19]</a> His work for the firm took him to Mexico in 1908 and <a href="/wiki/Colombia" title="Colombia">Colombia</a> in 1912, which fostered an interest in international affairs.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAustralian_Dictionary_of_Biography-20">[20]</a> By 1912 Bruce was a businessman and a successful barrister, and it was in this year <a href="/wiki/Ethel_Bruce" title="Ethel Bruce">Ethel Dunlop Anderson</a> travelled to England and was reacquainted with Bruce, whom she had known as a child. Aged 32, Ethel was of similar Scottish-Irish ancestry and hailed from a prominent <a href="/wiki/Squatting_(pastoral)" class="mw-redirect" title="Squatting (pastoral)">squatter</a> family of Victoria.

His brother Ernest's daughter, Helen Bruce, came to play a large part in his life and was to become the main beneficiary of his Will but Bruce "was left with a sense of insecurity and melancholy".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee14-23">[23]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Military_service">Military service</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sbruce.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Sbruce.jpg/170px-Sbruce.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="255" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Sbruce.jpg/255px-Sbruce.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Sbruce.jpg/340px-Sbruce.jpg 2x" data-file-width="377" data-file-height="566" /></a><figcaption>Captain Bruce of the Royal Fusiliers during World War I</figcaption></figure> Bruce returned briefly to Australia in 1914, swapping positions within the company with his brother Ernest.

Bruce and his brothers sought to enlist in defence of the Empire, but all three of them would choose to serve in the British Army rather than the <a href="/wiki/First_Australian_Imperial_Force" title="First Australian Imperial Force">Australian Imperial Force</a>. It was easier to obtain officer commissions in the British Army and the family had a close association with (and for many of them, long periods of residency in) Great Britain.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee9-24">[24]</a> Bruce enlisted and received a commission as a <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_(British_Army)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lieutenant (British Army)">lieutenant</a> on 7 February 1915<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> and was attached to the 2nd Battalion, <a href="/wiki/Royal_Fusiliers" title="Royal Fusiliers">Royal Fusiliers</a> in Egypt, which was then assigned to the <a href="/wiki/British_29th_Division" class="mw-redirect" title="British 29th Division">British 29th Division</a>.

However <a href="/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_I" title="Allies of World War I">allied naval forces</a> were unable to secure passage through the narrow straits, and the MEF under Hamilton devised a plan to wrest control through amphibious landings.

He later reflected that he must have been kept on earth for some purpose.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStirling485-29">[29]</a> He returned to the front lines and his division moved to the new front at <a href="/wiki/Suvla_Bay" class="mw-redirect" title="Suvla Bay">Suvla Bay</a>, where it was involved in particularly heavy fighting and sustained trench warfare throughout August and September.

Nationalist Prime Minister Billy Hughes, now a peace-time leader, had declined in popularity within the party due to his left-wing domestic policies.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESawer156-40">[40]</a> The Commonwealth Line had been created by the Hughes government as a state-owned concern to ship Australian goods during World War I when British and domestic commercial shipping were unavailable.

Unemployment and inflation were relatively low by international standards, and <a href="/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Australia" class="mw-redirect" title="Commonwealth of Australia">Commonwealth</a> revenues had grown significantly since Australia became a federation.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEdwards84-63">[63]</a> Australia was a vast and richly resourced country with fewer than six million inhabitants, and Bruce made it his government's priority to develop Australia's economy. In his first speech to the House of Representatives as prime minister, he outlined a comprehensive vision for Australia that centred on economic development, reform of the <a href="/wiki/Federalism_in_Australia" title="Federalism in Australia">federal system</a>, increased Commonwealth powers over industrial relations, a greater voice for Australia within the British Empire and the establishment of a national capital. He summarised this vision as a program of "men, money and markets".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENational_Archives_of_AustraliaIn_Office-64">[64]</a> According to Bruce, men were needed to allow Australia's extensive resources to be developed. In 1923, much of Australia's land was virtually unoccupied, and Bruce believed Australia had the potential to be one of the most fertile and productive nations in the world, which could sustain populations upward of 100 million over time – more than 16 times the population of his time.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee38-65">[65]</a> Despite dissenting voices from scientists, who noted that poor climate, soils and water availability were significant barriers to large populations, the Bruce-Page government enacted policies to encourage large numbers of British to migrate to Australia.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee38-65">[65]</a> Under the auspices of the new Development and Migration Commission, £34 million in loans took place over the decade starting in 1924 to facilitate immigrant settlement through improvements to rural infrastructure, land access, and subsidising immigrant journeys ("passages").<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> Estimates as high as half a million British immigrants over ten years were predicted at the start of the policy, whereas just over 200,000 travelled to Australia during that time period.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacintyre168-67">[67]</a> Bruce's settlement plan rested on rural growth. Migrants were often selected on the basis of their willingness to work on the land; state and Commonwealth governments concentrated their investment on rural development and encouraged returned servicemen to take up farms on the periphery of settled areas.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacintyre168–169-68">[68]</a> Despite this, a majority of these migrants settled in urban areas, as Australia's rural areas were far more remote and difficult to work (than for example England's) and many of those taking advantage of the assistance scheme were urban workers or family and friends of those already settled.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a> Immigration from outside Great Britain and her dominions was considered unpalatable – the Bruce government upheld the <a href="/wiki/White_Australia_policy" title="White Australia policy">White Australia policy</a> by placing strong restrictions on immigration from other areas, notwithstanding its population growth targets.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacintyre125–127-70">[70]</a> In his campaign speech for the 1925 election, Bruce stated:<a href="#cite_note-Policy_Launch_Speech-71">[71]</a><blockquote>It is necessary that we should determine what are the ideals towards which every Australian would desire to strive. I think those ideals might well be stated as being to secure our national safety, and to ensure the maintenance of our White Australia Policy to continue as an integral portion of the British Empire.<a href="#cite_note-Policy_Launch_Speech-71">[71]</a> We intend to keep this country white and not allow its people to be faced with the problems that at present are practically insoluble in many parts of the world.<a href="#cite_note-Bowen-72">[72]</a></blockquote> Money was borrowed from Britain to fund the state's programs and at an unprecedented rate. Over £230 million was extended in loans from the <a href="/wiki/City_of_London" title="City of London">City of London</a> to state and Commonwealth treasuries during the 1920s. A further £140 million arrived through private investment.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacintyre168-67">[67]</a> Bruce's plan for Australian economic development needed a much stronger role for the Commonwealth government than had been traditionally accepted. Both he and Page were "conspicuously national rather than federal in their outlook"<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENethercote126-73">[73]</a> and sought major changes to federal-state relations in order implement their development policy. <blockquote>Increasingly our problems are becoming national in character ... Our financial resources are curtailed and there is an immediate repercussion throughout the Commonwealth. All our problems are common problems. None can be prosperous unless all are prospering. I am more convinced that we have to look at all our problems with the eyes of a nation and not as individuals. Where a great problem confronts a State it may be solved by the co-operation of the Commonwealth for the benefit of the States, and the benefit and advancement of the whole of Australia.<a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a></blockquote> The Bruce–Page plan of May 1923 put in motion efforts to coordinate state-federal operations in several areas, particularly infrastructure and rural development schemes.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee35–36-75">[75]</a> The Main Roads Development Act of 1923 was one of the first and most important legislative accomplishments in this vein. The act leveraged Section 96 of the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Australia" title="Constitution of Australia">Constitution of Australia</a> to grant financial assistance to the states by employing it to fund road construction and maintenance according to the plans of the federal transportation portfolio – in effect allowing the Commonwealth to operate directly in what was constitutionality the exclusive domain of the state governments. The Act would provide a precedent for many types of "special purpose payments" that became a common feature of Australian federal fiscal relations.<a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a> Despite some major successes, Bruce was more frequently frustrated by a lack of progress in many key areas of intergovernmental co-operation.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAustralian_Dictionary_of_Biography-20">[20]</a> The states could not be induced to standardise electrical power schemes, nor unify on <a href="/wiki/Track_gauge" title="Track gauge">track gauges</a>, nor <a href="/wiki/National_health_insurance" title="National health insurance">national health insurance</a> despite years of work and solid arguments in favour.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEdwards94–95-77">[77]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:StanleyBruce2.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/StanleyBruce2.jpg/220px-StanleyBruce2.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="311" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/StanleyBruce2.jpg/330px-StanleyBruce2.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d0/StanleyBruce2.jpg 2x" data-file-width="402" data-file-height="568" /></a><figcaption>Bruce in about 1925</figcaption></figure> Although men and money had been secured, the markets component of the Bruce plan was never fully realised. At the <a href="/wiki/1923_Imperial_Conference" title="1923 Imperial Conference">1923 Imperial Conference</a>, Bruce lobbied consistently for the <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK)" title="Conservative Party (UK)">Conservative</a> government of <a href="/wiki/Stanley_Baldwin" title="Stanley Baldwin">Stanley Baldwin</a> to make changes to Great Britain's trading arrangements to give <a href="/wiki/Trade_preference" title="Trade preference">preference</a> to dominion products over imports from other nations.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrett81–83-78">[78]</a> He argued for Empire-wide economic trading arrangements that filled domestic demands by production from member states before seeking supplemental imports from other countries and empires. Baldwin and the Conservatives attempted to introduce such a scheme in Britain; however, the British public feared higher prices for basic products (particularly food), and this fear was a factor in the Conservative government's defeat in the <a href="/wiki/1923_United_Kingdom_general_election" title="1923 United Kingdom general election">December 1923 election</a>. Baldwin's successor <a href="/wiki/Ramsay_MacDonald" title="Ramsay MacDonald">Ramsay MacDonald</a> repudiated the plan, much to Bruce's chagrin, and attempts to revive negotiations foundered as economic conditions worsened throughout the decade.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee40-79">[79]</a> World agricultural prices stalled in the mid-1920s as European and American agricultural production recovered to pre-war levels, and Australian exports were crowded out of markets as the decade progressed.<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> In 1927, Earle Page handed down the first budget in deficit for the coalition government, and Bruce recognised that Australia's economic position was deteriorating. Federal and state debt that year totalled just over £1 billion, of which £305 million were war debts and the rest had been spent on development that had failed had deliver high returns.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECumpston74-81">[81]</a> Nearly half of the total debt was owed to overseas lenders, principally those in London. Economic growth was slow, and far lower than the levels hoped. Exports and revenues were falling behind government needs, and investors had begun to express alarm at Australia's level of debt.<a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a><a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a> Bruce persisted with his plans and believed that growing Australian exports were the key to rectifying the problems, thus justifying further investment and encouragement of population growth.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECumpston75-84">[84]</a> The government did act to try to manage the debt problem. By the mid-1920s, states were borrowing at unsustainable rates to fund their own programs to compensate for dwindling revenues. In response, Bruce proposed that the responsibility for all government debts, Commonwealth and state, and the authority to acquire new debt, should be handed over to a <a href="/wiki/Loan_Council" title="Loan Council">National Loan Council</a> in which all states would have one vote and the Commonwealth would have two votes and the casting vote.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESawer131–132-85">[85]</a> He also moved to abolish per capita payments to the states, to be replaced by a funding formula tied more to financial need. These two changes formed the Financial Agreement of 1927, the provisions of which were approved by <a href="/wiki/1928_Australian_referendum" class="mw-redirect" title="1928 Australian referendum">referendum in 1928</a>. These changes would prove to be amongst the most significant in Australian constitutional history, as the states had now lost much of their financial independence.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESawer131–132-85">[85]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMathews9–19-86">[86]</a> Faced with severe financial pressures and an increasing reliance upon Commonwealth transfer payments, after some resistance the states consented, although vertical fiscal imbalance between the states and the Commonwealth continued to be an enduring feature of Australian federal relations.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAlexander69–70-87">[87]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Modernising_government">Modernising government</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bruce_opens_Parliament_House,_Canberra.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Bruce_opens_Parliament_House%2C_Canberra.jpg/220px-Bruce_opens_Parliament_House%2C_Canberra.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="177" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Bruce_opens_Parliament_House%2C_Canberra.jpg/330px-Bruce_opens_Parliament_House%2C_Canberra.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Bruce_opens_Parliament_House%2C_Canberra.jpg 2x" data-file-width="425" data-file-height="341" /></a><figcaption>Bruce speaking at the opening of Parliament House, Canberra on 9 May 1927</figcaption></figure> Bruce set about applying his business principles to his cabinet, putting his experience as both a corporate manager and rowing coach to use in a cabinet system that was orderly and practical.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHawkins77-88">[88]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWeller76–77-89">[89]</a> He implemented a formal system whereby a proper agenda for cabinet meetings would be formulated, and the minister responsible for each item would circulate papers to bring other members up to speed on the issue.

Design and construction had proceeded slowly due to World War I as well as funding and management problems. Bruce was a committed advocate of the new capital, however, stating: "For the purposes of Federation it was essential that there should be some central point of nationhood, suitable to Australia as a nation ... and sooner or later there would have to be a national capital, overriding State boundaries and State prejudices."<a href="#cite_note-97">[97]</a> This came to pass on 9 May 1927 when the <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_Australia" title="Parliament of Australia">Federal Parliament</a> moved to its new premises in Canberra; Bruce had moved himself and his wife to <a href="/wiki/The_Lodge_(Australia)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Lodge (Australia)">The Lodge</a> a few days earlier.<a href="#cite_note-98">[98]</a> At the Federal Parliament's opening ceremony, Bruce decided that voices of the clerks of the House of Representatives and the <a href="/wiki/Australian_Senate" title="Australian Senate">Senate</a> were too heavily <a href="/wiki/Australian_accent" class="mw-redirect" title="Australian accent">accented</a>, and determined that he would personally welcome the <a href="/wiki/George_VI" title="George VI">Duke of York</a> and co-open the new building – a move that was criticised by several parliamentarians.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee69-99">[99]</a> The business of transferring government and cabinet operations to the new capital proceeded slowly over 1927 and 1928. This was an administrative task that occupied a significant proportion of the government's time in those years, with many departments only very gradually transferring from Melbourne, much to Bruce's consternation.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECumpston76–77-100">[100]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Imperial_overtures">Imperial overtures</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Imperial_Conference_1923_Cartoon.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Imperial_Conference_1923_Cartoon.png/350px-Imperial_Conference_1923_Cartoon.png" decoding="async" width="350" height="277" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Imperial_Conference_1923_Cartoon.png/525px-Imperial_Conference_1923_Cartoon.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Imperial_Conference_1923_Cartoon.png/700px-Imperial_Conference_1923_Cartoon.png 2x" data-file-width="818" data-file-height="648" /></a><figcaption>Much coverage was given to the stand taken by Bruce at the 1923 Imperial Conference.</figcaption></figure> Loyal to the concept of the <a href="/wiki/British_Empire" title="British Empire">British Empire</a>, Bruce envisaged strengthening it through mutual economic development, greater political co-operation, and common policies on defence, trade and foreign affairs. His first trip abroad as prime minister was for the 1923 Imperial Conference in London. Bruce put forward a wide range of proposals for stronger co-operation between Great Britain and her <a href="/wiki/Dominion" title="Dominion">dominions</a> in a wide range of areas, particularly in the areas of trade, defence and the formulation of a common foreign policy. He particularly desired a greater role for the dominions in imperial affairs, including a collective decision-making body for common questions of defence and foreign affairs. He took exception to a lack of involvement in foreign policy decisions made by Britain that would have significant ramifications for Australia. In 1922, in what became known as the <a href="/wiki/Chanak_Crisis" class="mw-redirect" title="Chanak Crisis">Chanak Crisis</a>, British brinkmanship over Turkey's aggressive manoeuvres to <a href="/wiki/Greco-Turkish_War_(1919%E2%80%9322)" class="mw-redirect" title="Greco-Turkish War (1919–22)">redefine its border with Greece</a> had escalated to the point where the British cabinet had threatened war against Turkey. This threat included military participation of dominions in an intervention, though no dominion government had been informed of the developments in Turkey.<a href="#cite_note-101">[101]</a> Although a diplomatic end to the crisis was eventually found, dominion leaders were angered at having almost been committed to a military conflict without any consultation.<a href="#cite_note-102">[102]</a> Bruce pushed for greater consultation and voice for the dominions, and succeeded in having <a href="/wiki/Richard_Casey,_Baron_Casey" title="Richard Casey, Baron Casey">Richard Casey</a> appointed as a permanent political liaison in London who would have access to British government decisions and act as a conduit between Westminster and Melbourne.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAndrews48–51-103">[103]</a> He also successfully lobbied for the creation of a <a href="/wiki/Dominion_Office" class="mw-redirect" title="Dominion Office">Dominion Office</a> separated out from the <a href="/wiki/Colonial_Office" title="Colonial Office">Colonial Office</a> to acknowledge the different state of affairs that now existed in the Empire. However, while fellow dominions generally agreed that the imperial system should be modified, not all shared his vision for closer collaboration and strong ties. Canada and the <a href="/wiki/Union_of_South_Africa" title="Union of South Africa">Union of South Africa</a> were instead seeking greater independence from London, and there was little enthusiasm for many of Bruce's more ambitious plans for inter-empire trade and policy co-operation.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAndrews50–51-104">[104]</a> Despite Australia's greater representation in London after 1923, Bruce's hope for collective imperial decision-making was dashed once more with the British decision to recognise the Soviet Union in 1924. This act dismayed the fervently anti-communist Bruce, who disagreed with the decision ideologically and on the grounds that once again the dominions had not been consulted.<a href="#cite_note-105">[105]</a> Ultimately, though, the differences between Britain's and her dominions' opinions on the matter were too great to be reconciled. Instead, Britain signed the General Treaty with the Soviet Union only on her own behalf, marking the first major split between Britain and Australia on a matter of foreign policy.<a href="#cite_note-106">[106]</a> Despite its applicability solely to European security arrangements, Bruce had criticised Britain's signing of the <a href="/wiki/Locarno_Treaties" title="Locarno Treaties">Locarno Treaties</a> in 1925 without dominion consultation;<a href="#cite_note-trove-107">[107]</a> though the eventual treaty was not binding on the dominions.<a href="#cite_note-108">[108]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:ImperialConference.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/ImperialConference.jpg/220px-ImperialConference.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="175" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/ImperialConference.jpg/330px-ImperialConference.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/ImperialConference.jpg/440px-ImperialConference.jpg 2x" data-file-width="635" data-file-height="506" /></a><figcaption>Bruce (Back row centre) at the <a href="/wiki/1926_Imperial_Conference" title="1926 Imperial Conference">1926 Imperial Conference</a></figcaption></figure>The <a href="/wiki/1926_Imperial_Conference" title="1926 Imperial Conference">1926 Imperial Conference</a> confirmed that Britain and her dominions were rapidly diverging in interests and that greater independence – not greater co-operation – was the most practical solution.

He frequently called upon both sides to embrace a spirit of co-operation.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAustralian_Dictionary_of_Biography-20">[20]</a> The situation became acute when waterfront workers led by the <a href="/wiki/Seamen%27s_Union_of_Australia" title="Seamen's Union of Australia">Seamen's Union</a> went on strike in 1925.

The first allowed British and foreign shipping not working under Australian industrial awards to operate in Australian waters (although British vessels working in Australia would soon initiate a strike of their own).

"My government was returned to power on a clear issue and with a definite mission ... to introduce measures for the preservation of industrial peace", Bruce declared during his second term,<a href="#cite_note-122">[122]</a> and called <a href="/wiki/1926_Australian_referendum" title="1926 Australian referendum">a referendum</a> to amend the Australian Constitution and bring industrial relations under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commonwealth.

These proposals drew hostile reception from many quarters – even from future conservative prime minister <a href="/wiki/Robert_Menzies" title="Robert Menzies">Robert Menzies</a> – and both the Australian Labor Party and conservative groups were divided in opinion on the amendments, with the ALP eventually taking no fixed position on the questions.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWildavsky10–24-124">[124]</a> But by September the issue had drawn so much controversy and ill-feeling that it was no surprise for many commentators that the proposals failed to attract sufficient popular support to overcome the high bar for constitutional change.<a href="#cite_note-Australian_Parliamentary_Library-114">[114]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Dog_Collar_Waterfront_Licence,_1929.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Dog_Collar_Waterfront_Licence%2C_1929.jpg/220px-Dog_Collar_Waterfront_Licence%2C_1929.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="94" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Dog_Collar_Waterfront_Licence%2C_1929.jpg/330px-Dog_Collar_Waterfront_Licence%2C_1929.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Dog_Collar_Waterfront_Licence%2C_1929.jpg/440px-Dog_Collar_Waterfront_Licence%2C_1929.jpg 2x" data-file-width="598" data-file-height="255" /></a><figcaption>A license or 'dog collar' issued to a waterfront worker under the Transport Workers Act in 1929</figcaption></figure> The problems of industrial unrest continued to flare up, and the waterfront remained a flashpoint. In a review of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Act in 1928, Bruce required industrial courts to consider the economic effects of its awards in addition to the welfare of worker.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAustralian_Dictionary_of_Biography-20">[20]</a> Immediate problems followed when a new award for waterside workers in 1928 worsened conditions for workers on economic grounds. New industrial action led by the <a href="/wiki/Maritime_Union_of_Australia" title="Maritime Union of Australia">Waterside Workers Federation</a> broke out. In Melbourne these turned to riots, claiming casualties and at least one fatality. Reviving the "red scare" pitch for the <a href="/wiki/1928_Australian_federal_election" title="1928 Australian federal election">1928 election</a> campaign, Bruce pushed the <a href="/wiki/Transport_Workers_Act_1928" title="Transport Workers Act 1928">Transport Workers Act</a> through parliament in response, which gave the executive unprecedented regulatory power in industrial relations.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESawer265-125">[125]</a> All waterfront workers now required federal licenses, or "dog collars" as they were derisively known, to work.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee79-126">[126]</a> The act allowed the Commonwealth government to effectively control who worked on the docks and nearly destroyed the Waterside Workers Federation, earning the government deep unpopularity among organised labour. At the 1928 election Bruce's government was returned to power, but it now had a majority of just nine – a fragile result, given the growing propensity for Nationalist member defections.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBarber29-127">[127]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMurray119-128">[128]</a> Most of the Nationalists' parliamentary gains from 1925 had been wiped out. <a href="/wiki/James_Scullin" title="James Scullin">James Scullin</a> had assumed the leadership of the ALP earlier in the year, upon the retirement of Charlton, and the party was invigorated as a consequence.

In that year, prices for Australian exports fell by nearly a third and GDP had fallen by 10%, with no attendant fall in the cost of living.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee77-132">[132]</a> Australia's debt now stood at £631 million – the interest payments on which were equivalent to nearly half of Australia's export receipts, a situation difficult to sustain even in a positive economic climate.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMillmowChapter_3-133">[133]</a> Investors and banks recognised the risk and Australia's credit access was rapidly drying up. Bruce's grand economic development plans had increased the national debt significantly yet had delivered only marginal economic expansion in the short term. To make matters worse for the government, industrial unrest was a persisting problem, particularly in the economically key states of New South Wales and Victoria.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee77-132">[132]</a> The opposition had become more potent as well: Scullin was widely recognised as one of the parliament's most gifted and articulate members; even his opponents respected his personal probity. Scullin forecast that the Australian economy was highly vulnerable given its indebtedness, and was on a course for severe depression if government finances were not turned around dramatically.<a href="#cite_note-Scullin,_James_Henry_1876–1953-134">[134]</a> Furthermore, the Prime Minister's own party was breaking down underneath him. There had been no official party platform yet agreed to, and individual members had a wide degree of latitude to determine the issues they ran on, leading to frequent government defections on legislation.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStarr20–21-135">[135]</a> The government's existing nine-seat majority shrank during 1928 and 1929 over various issues, as a result of by-elections, and several leading figures who had previously worked with Bruce became increasingly sharp critics of him. Hughes and <a href="/wiki/Edward_Mann_(Australian_politician)" title="Edward Mann (Australian politician)">Edward Mann</a> were two of the government's most ardent opponents in 1929.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESouter248–249-136">[136]</a> Worsening economic conditions had put further pressure on industrial relations, with unemployment rising and employers seeking to cut costs. Strikes of sugar mill workers in 1927, waterside workers in 1928, and then transport and timber industry workers in 1929 continued to disrupt economic operations. The worst came with ongoing disputes between miners and mine owners on the coalfields of New South Wales had culminated in riots and lockouts in 1929, and intervention by the Bruce government failed to produce a settlement. Notably, in March 1929 <a href="/wiki/Newcastle,_New_South_Wales" title="Newcastle, New South Wales">Newcastle</a>-based mine owner John Brown locked out workers from his mines at <a href="/wiki/Pelaw_Main,_New_South_Wales" title="Pelaw Main, New South Wales">Pelaw Main</a> and Richmond Main to try to force acceptance of lower wages.<a href="#cite_note-137">[137]</a> Attorney-General <a href="/wiki/John_Latham_(judge)" title="John Latham (judge)">John Latham</a> pursued legal action against Brown for illegally using coercive industrial tactics, but Bruce intervened to stop the prosecution, believing the case to be doubtful and that dropping it would give the government a chance to negotiate an end to the dispute. The mine-owners refused to accede to government-brokered negotiations anyway, and the government was seen to have been siding with rich businesses and applying double standards, undermining Bruce's own credibility as an impartial leader and law-and-order prime minister.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee83–85-138">[138]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Stanley_Bruce_and_John_Latham.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Stanley_Bruce_and_John_Latham.jpg/220px-Stanley_Bruce_and_John_Latham.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="289" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Stanley_Bruce_and_John_Latham.jpg/330px-Stanley_Bruce_and_John_Latham.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Stanley_Bruce_and_John_Latham.jpg/440px-Stanley_Bruce_and_John_Latham.jpg 2x" data-file-width="519" data-file-height="681" /></a><figcaption>Bruce with <a href="/wiki/John_Latham_(judge)" title="John Latham (judge)">John Latham</a>, his Attorney-General and eventual successor as leader of the Nationalist Party</figcaption></figure> Bruce and the conservatives in parliament became increasingly convinced that "economic deterioration [was] the product, rather than the possible cause, of worsening industrial relations."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPlowman54-139">[139]</a> Exasperated, the Prime Minister made a dramatic move and presented an ultimatum to the Australian state governments: either they should voluntarily hand their powers of industrial regulation to the federal government, or the federal government would divest itself of its industrial powers and dismantle federal arbitration.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee85-140">[140]</a> The announcement came as a major shock to all sides of politics, not least the members of Bruce's own cabinet, most of whom had not been informed of the dramatic change in policy until the day it was announced to the states.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEdwards171–172-141">[141]</a> Bruce calculated that the states would not give up their powers, and thus the move was one designed to sanction the end of Commonwealth arbitration. For Bruce, the only inconceivable outcome now was that the status quo of dual jurisdiction remained unchanged.<a href="#cite_note-142">[142]</a> The opposition to the proposal, which the Prime Minister introduced to the parliament as the Maritime Industries Bill, was swift and fierce. In 1929 over 150 unions and 700,000 workers were covered by Commonwealth awards over a wide range of industries – although there was dissatisfaction in the coal and timber sectors, most were happy with their arrangements and feared worse pay and conditions if moved back to state awards.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee86-143">[143]</a> He defended his actions as being necessary to create certainty and end the duplication that had caused so many problems in recent years.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECommonwealth_Parliamentary_DebatesVol._121,_p._862-144">[144]</a> Other government decisions in 1929 had attracted controversy as well.

The Scullin government was subsequently defeated in a landslide, losing a then-record 32 seats; the two Labor factions were cut down to only 18 seats between them.

By 1951 this had exceeded pre-war levels, and general levels of nutrition were rising internationally, but by the time Bruce stepped down in that year neither had improved fast enough to keep pace with the <a href="/wiki/Post-World_War_II_baby_boom" class="mw-redirect" title="Post-World War II baby boom">post-war population boom</a>.<a href="#cite_note-209">[209]</a> The Council faced major obstacles in supporting the improvement of conditions in the developing world as governments there began diverting resources to arms programs as independence, post-colonial and <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a> conflicts multiplied.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECumpston253-210">[210]</a> Frustrated by continuing world conflict and the lack of commitment from the developed world to support the lofty but very difficult aims of the FAO, both Bruce and Orr resigned from the FAO disappointed by its modest gains and insufficient powers to alleviate world food problems.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEdwards422–423-211">[211]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Later_life">Later life</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Coat_of_Arms_of_Stanley_Melbourne_Bruce,_1st_Viscount_Bruce_of_Melbourne.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/Coat_of_Arms_of_Stanley_Melbourne_Bruce%2C_1st_Viscount_Bruce_of_Melbourne.svg/220px-Coat_of_Arms_of_Stanley_Melbourne_Bruce%2C_1st_Viscount_Bruce_of_Melbourne.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="311" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/Coat_of_Arms_of_Stanley_Melbourne_Bruce%2C_1st_Viscount_Bruce_of_Melbourne.svg/330px-Coat_of_Arms_of_Stanley_Melbourne_Bruce%2C_1st_Viscount_Bruce_of_Melbourne.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/Coat_of_Arms_of_Stanley_Melbourne_Bruce%2C_1st_Viscount_Bruce_of_Melbourne.svg/440px-Coat_of_Arms_of_Stanley_Melbourne_Bruce%2C_1st_Viscount_Bruce_of_Melbourne.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="744" data-file-height="1052" /></a><figcaption>Arms of Viscount Bruce of Melbourne Or, a saltire gules cantoned between four mullets sable, on a chief of the second a pale argent charged with a saltire of the third<a href="#cite_note-212">[212]</a></figcaption></figure> Bruce occupied a range of positions in his later years, sharing his time between the United Kingdom and Australia. He had been Chairman of the Finance Corporation of Industry since 1946 and continued in the role until 1957, providing finance to projects of benefit to the British national economy. Bruce helped establish the program in Australia in 1954 and on a Commonwealth basis in 1956.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECumpston253–256-213">[213]</a> He became the first <a href="/wiki/Chancellor_(education)" title="Chancellor (education)">Chancellor</a> of the newly established <a href="/wiki/Australian_National_University" title="Australian National University">Australian National University</a> in 1952, and took an active interest in its development, especially as a research centre for the study of Asia and the Pacific.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee180–184-214">[214]</a> Bruce concluded that Australia's position in the world had changed as a result of World War II, commenting: <blockquote>[Australia] has become a bridgehead between East and West. It is now vital that Australia should understand the problems of the East, that she should do whatever is in her power to alleviate those problems, and that she should interpret the nature of those problems to the rest of the world.<a href="#cite_note-215">[215]</a></blockquote> The residential college Bruce Hall was named in his honour, and he remained active in the life of the university until his retirement from the position in 1961.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee179–182-216">[216]</a> Bruce sat as director on many corporate boards in retirement, notably the <a href="/wiki/National_Bank_of_Australia" class="mw-redirect" title="National Bank of Australia">National Bank of Australia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Peninsular_and_Oriental_Steam_Navigation_Company" class="mw-redirect" title="Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company">P&O</a> and the National Mutual Life Association.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECumpston253–256-213">[213]</a> In 1947 he became the first Australian to sit in the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Lords" title="House of Lords">House of Lords</a> (<a href="/wiki/John_Forrest" title="John Forrest">Sir John Forrest</a> had been granted a peerage but died before it could be invested).<a href="#cite_note-217">[217]</a> Having been elevated to the peerage as Viscount Bruce of Melbourne by long-time colleague Clement Attlee, he would be an active participant in the chamber, attending regularly until his death. Bruce used it as a platform to continue to campaign on international and national social and economic questions, and to promote recognition and representation for Australia within the Commonwealth, though by this time Australian and British interests were becoming increasingly far apart, and the British Empire was rapidly disintegrating.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECumpston259–262-218">[218]</a> He also continued to lobby the British government in these years to increase its commitment to third world development and the FAO.

In contrast to his image as a member of the British aristocratic elite, he spent much of his later career working for solutions to the problems facing the world's poorest.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStirling458–461-226">[226]</a> Bruce was high-minded and ambitious in setting an agenda – as prime minister he pursued complex and aspiring schemes of economic, social and administrative development, including grandiose solutions to the problem of industrial relations and an egalitarian reworking of the British Empire. In his diplomatic career he pursued better treatment for the Commonwealth and programs through the League of Nations and United Nations that would address world questions of pressing social and economic concern, culminating in his most ambitious work to eliminate world hunger through the Food and Agriculture Organization. The Australian government even nominated Bruce for the <a href="/wiki/Nobel_Peace_Prize" title="Nobel Peace Prize">Nobel Peace Prize</a> in recognition for these efforts.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHenderson352-227">[227]</a> Yet his schemes frequently bordered on the idealistic, and he was frequently disappointed at the limited degree to which he could practically implement his ideas. As Bruce himself would concede in later life, he was overly ambitious by nature and "forever buying into things that aren't really my concern".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStirling488-228">[228]</a>

our time".<a href="#cite_note-229">[229]</a> The Melbourne Sun agreed with the assessment, stating upon his death that Bruce was "probably the least remembered but the most extraordinary of our Prime
