BRITISH POLICY
3.15 P.M. EDITION.
SOCIALISTS’ CONDEMNATION. AVHERE IT FAILED. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received Alarch 2, 1.50 p.m. LONDON, March 1. The Daily Telegraph, in a leader entitled “Where Distance Lends Distortion,” says;— If the Socialist opposition is unsuccessful in perturbing British opinion it may be consoled with the knowledge that it rather lias disquieted Australia, thanks to the effect of exaggeration and misrepresentation. Fortunately. Air Lyons is able to answer that British policy is unchanged, which has been made abundantly clear in Britain, but has been obscured from the Australian perception by tlie noise and dust of contention. The idea that Air Chamberlain would sacrifice Imperial interests to purhase Italian compliance is indeed sufficiently absurd, hut if it is entertained in Australia the fault is less the Australian public’s than the extravagance wherewith the British Socialists, who are not the foremost defenders of Imperial interests, have conducted the agitation.
