EMPIRE'S WELFARE
IGNORANCE IN ENGLAND. DEPLORED BY NEW ZEALANDER. By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Received June 27, 10.25 a.m. LONDON, June 26. In an interview Mr James Craigte, a member of the Now Zealand Legislative Council, who conferred with prominent Conservative and Liberal statesmen, said that the public's ignorance of and indifference to the Empire's welfare was astounding. The mass of the people did not. realise -that the time was gone when Britain was the only important part of the Empire. The British politicians must air the people's imagination and educate their minds to grasp die modern meaning of the Empire. North England and Scotland showed more interest in the Empire than south of London showed. Ho attribuleu this to the feverish rush of London lite in which everybody was a specialist in his respective calling, with no time io study wider interests. —Sydney Sun cable.
