MR. BUSHBY'S VIEWS

DISCORD DEPRECATED SUCCESS OF THE TOUR -LONDON, August 23 The manager of the Australian cricket team, Mr. H. Bushby, interviewed by a representative of the Daily Mail, saiil: "The winning of the ashes does not. count for everything. Now that the tumult and the shouting have died lefcus remember that the tour has been tho means of cementing friendships. More than 2,000,000 people have seen tho Australians! It has been a mission of goodwill as well as a cricket tour. "I have had letters suggesting that the tests should be stopped because they cause misunderstandings. Let us be sensible and remember the absence of millionaire patrons. A tour must be run on a business basis. Moreover, when have Britons refused to settle their differences amicably? / "We realised our essential Britishness when we saw tho King at Windsor. Hero wns a personality, of us, yet detached from us, and transcending social and geographical differences. He made the bovs feel th.it Windsor belongs to them. We got the Same feeling of kinship at Aldershot. The bombers overhead and the troops lining tho .opes made ns think hard." ■ il
