CLERGYMAN'S DIATRIBE.
AUSTRALIANS NOT LOYAL. M.P'S VIGOROUS RETORT. (Per Independent Cable). VANCOUVER, April 16. The Rev. Dr. Eraser, who lias just returned from Australia, says that Australians are not so loyal to the British Empire as he expected to find them. He. contends that many of them take the view that they are a long way from England, and have little in common with the people of the motherland. They have, he says, more sympathy with the United States, and American ideas are more like their own. Mi-. A. Poynton, a member of the Australian House of. Representatives, vigorously combats these statements. He says that no British people in the world are more loyal than the Australians, and as a part of the British Empire Australia does not want any American methods of government. Mr. Poynton concludes his remarks by regretting that there are "ungrateful and ungracious men who traduce the country' that has done so much for them."
