A REPLY TO CRITICISM
THE DRAWBACK OF ALL POLI-
TICIANS.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.) (Received July 17, 10 a.m.)
MELBOURNE, This Day.
The Acting-Prime Minister, Mr. W. A. Watt, replying to the cabled criticism of Australia by the Hon. Mr. Fraser, of the New Zealand Legislative Council, states that only a. small section here is disloyal, lie thinks the drawback of all politicians is a tendency to label their opponents with opprobrious epithets.
[On his return last month from a visit to Australia, the Hon. A. L. D. Fraser, in an interview, made some comment on affairs in Australia. He declared that, though recruiting was at a low ebb, the people attended the race meetings in their thoueands. A great deterrent to recruiting > was the disloyal utterances made by numbers of trades unions and orators in the Domain on Sundays, but the Federal and State Governments took no action. According to Mr. Fraser, the genesis of the trouMo was to be found in the vaccilating incompetence of Mr. Hughes.]
