LONDON, 15th August.
Sir Joseph Cook, the Commonwealth High Commissioner, in an interview, strongly protested against the persistency with which certain Australian cable correspondents send misleading and damaging statements to English newspapers. He quoted three instances within a week, one alleging that boy migrants were undisciplined and unsatisfactory; -a second alleging that the immigrants included convicted offenders, whom Magistrates had released on condition that they migrated to Australia; and the third alleging that Sir George Fuller's migration Bcheme had been found unworkable. Sir Joseph Cook suggests that these correspondents should remember that they are Australians, and should, by way of change, occasionally cable something favourable about Australia.
