MINERS' RELIEF.
Dominion Gifts Appreciated But Superfluous. BRITAIN'S OWN BURDEN. (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) (Received 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, February 19. The "Daily Express" in the course of an article states: Novr as ever Britain stands on her own feet. The goodwill prompted by donations to the miners' relief from Australia, Canada and elsewhere, is appreciated but England would much rather have it thoroughly well understood that the donations, however kindly meant, are superfluous. There is nothing in the financial and economic position to justify receiving them. On? of the effects of this benevolence is to damage Britain's credit and to convince the world that England is either too poor, too indifferent or too self-indulgent to shoulder her own burdens.
