The lead article on the front page of the June 6, 1931 issue of this weekly newspaper (aimed at children around 10 to 11 years old), addresses the Trade Diversion Policy implemented by the Australian government against the Japanese textile industry. Australia imposed high tariffs on textile imports, dealing a significant blow to Japan as a primary exporter of cotton and rayon to Australia. The article furnishes comprehensive information on the trade dynamics between Australia and Japan, ultimately asserting that the diversion policy aimed to counter cheap imports from Japan, safeguarding the interests of the British textile industry.

In addition to this primary piece, the children's newspaper features educational exercises and showcases calligraphy works submitted by its young readers. The diverse content aims to engage and inform its youthful audience on both current affairs and creative endeavors.
