THE EMPIRE CRUISE.
ALLEGED INSTRUCTIONS. REPUDIATED BY THE HERALD. A. and N.Z. LONDON, Feb. 22. Interviewed regarding the alleged instructions issued by Mr. Ramsay MacDonald to the British naval squadron visiting the Dominions, Mr. Hamilton Fyfe, editor of the Labour newspaper, the Daily Herald, said he could not understand how they came to be published, unless as a joke. There was indeed nothing in them to which we could object. All were quite sensible. " 'Jingo' patriotism is vulgar and harmful," he said. It is high time the spirit of internationalism is cultivated. If we do not think internationally and try to put ourselves in the other fellow's place and all march together in the new order, we shall all sink together into misery and ruin. But Prime Ministers do not speak out their thoughts as crudely as Mr. Mac Donald is supposed to have done, ncr has anything of the kind appeared in or been cabled from the Daily Herald.
