AMERICAN LIFE.
OUTSTANDING FEATURES. (BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.) AUCKLAND, Aug. 18. Three outstanding feaures of American life deeply impressed. Mr. W. M. Hughes (ex-Premier of Australia) during his visit to America. These were the alert systems of technical and vocational education, the problems of cosmopolitan immigration, and the extensive interest of Americans generally in America first, last, and nearly all the time. Mr. Hughes, accompanied by Dame Mary Hughes and their little daughter, is returning to Australia by the Niagara. “While I was in the United States,” said Mr. Hughes, “some prominence was given to the British policy in respect of a naval base at Singapore. The defence of the Pacific was a topic of leading interest, but it was only in relation to America and American interests. The defence of the Pacific as a whole rouses but little. interest in America, and Australia and New Zealand are hardly in the picture at all.”
