“NOT UNDERSTOOD”
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WHAT MR »S. M. BRUCE SAYS. AMERICANS “FAR TOO MODEST” (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received January 4, 9.20 a.m. NEW'YORK, Jan. 3. “The United States is far too modest about what it is accomplishing,” declared Mr S. M. •Bruce, Premier of Australia, at a luncheon given in his .honour at Philadelphia by RearAdmiral Thomas Magruder. “We have uninformed persons ranting about the ‘blow hard’ characteristics of America. They say the United States is too brazen about itself, hut anything farther from the truth could scarcely be imagined. Anyone who knows this splendid country, a country that Australia has endeavoured to pattern herself after in many ways, knows that the United States does not do enough talking about itself. In fact, ®it is indecently modest. You are leading the world, but you do not let the world know it. No country is more misunderstood and more vilified. Americans need to give the world a campaign of education.”—A. and N.Z. cable.
