FEDERAL PREMIER
REPLY TO DETRACTORS
ABUSIVE RADICALISM.
LONDON, 23rd August
The Morning Post, in an editorial, says: "It"is because Mr. Hughes is a. true friend of Britain that he has so many detractors here. The sneers, censure, and incorrigible hostility of the Radical Press would have been spared him, would indeed have been changed to effusive compliment, if only he had been-our embittered enemy, steeped in sedition or even crime. British Radicalism's sour perversity coirld not bo better illustrated than by contrasting its regard for Mr. Hughes with, that -it shows /for such men as Gandhi and d-e Valera. If Mr. Hughes had not come to cement the Empire/but in order to snap the last link between- Britain and the Dominions, how the Radical Press and party would have slobbered over him!"
Mr. Hughes crossed the Channel yesterday to Boulogne, and was welcomed by the French authorities. He yisited Amiens and inspected the memorials to Australian/soldiers. He will tour the battlefields to'-i?ay and to-morrow, arriving at Paris to-morrOTT night. He will confer with, tho French Government on Friday
