A TALL YARN
WILD DOGS MENACING N.S. WALES
MR HUGHES INDIGNANT,
Frees Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, July 8. (Received July 10, at 5.5 p.m.) The day after* Mr Hughes at the conference had complained of the inadequate and misleading news regarding Australia, a cable from Sydney said that wild dogs from the centre were steadily creeping over New South Wales, and that the farmers were retiring before the menace. Mr Hughes says: It is lamentable to find such .gross and mischievous misrepresentation. It is hard to express one’s indignation at such venomous attempts to beiittle and injure our great and rich country. I can only look to public opinion in Australia to deal with this kmd of cable. The recrudescence of the wild dog myth comes at a moment when I hold an official message from Australia about the remarkably favourable position. Nothing could be more contradictory than this information from the Government and the story of desolation cabled from Sydney. This kind of news, served up in England and to the world, will Affect our credit and will be destructive to the price of our commodities. \
Mr Hughes has directed the attention of the proprietors of the London newspapers to the misleading statement.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
