GERMAN PRESS AND MR. HUGHES
"A STRONG MAN FROM AUSTRALIA." (TIMES AND SVD.VEV SUN SERVICES.) (Received May 6, 8 a.m.) "London, sth May. The German press loses no opportunity to deride Jlr. Hughes. The Cologne Gazette publishes part" of his Edinburgh speech, headed "A Strong Man From Australia." The Gazette sa-vs •' "Herr Hughes enjoys the splendid pre** of Engliwu! The tougher Sngliah -..hte&ssmn .^re-iaxited, \o r ma_J&ij!assii'
and-ready 'strike-them-dead' manner. The great difference is whether, like Herr Hughes, those playing the strong man havo no further responsibility, or whether they have to provide some sort of harmony between words and deeds. Mr. Churchill was lacking in deeds, so he was hissed off the stage. Herr Hughes continues as a bold circus athlete, to swing hundredweights made of paper. It is a sign of English intellectual decadence that this Australian is hailed as the 'ideal of statesmanship."
