NATIONAL CHARACTER
AS HIGH AS EVER IT WAS
SIR WILLIAM CULLEN'S SURVEY.
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Eeeeived 23rd March, 1 p.m.) FREMANTLE, This Day. Sir William Cullen, Lieutenant-Gov-ernor of New South Wales, has returned from a visit to England. In an interview he said that England faced some of the biggest problems in the nation's history, and it needed the best qualities of any race to pull them through. He was confident of the genius of the British race to find a way out. It had been said that the nation was becoming indifferent, irreligious, undisciplined, and spineless. His observations had convinced him that this was not so. What he saw on Armistice Day was a proof of discij pline, spiritual reverence, and true re- [ ligion. In certain big circles he found a most sincere and deep spiritual life, such as he had not found in England before. The national character was as high as ever. He concluded by saying: "If any one tells me England is down, I simply answer, 'Don't be ridiculous!'"
