AN INTERVIEW COMEDY
“AIR MINISTER’S” OPINIONS. WRONG MAN ON WIRELESS. LONDON, August 6.

It was a brilliant idea, but what the enterprising editors of Gothenburg did not know was that his machine was not. equipped with wireless. None the less, when Sir Samuel arrived, ho was astonished to find the newspapers frill of a particularly chatty interview with himself en route. To clear up the mystery, he called at the office of the nearest paper. The horrified editor then for the first time discovered that the press had been interviewing somebody or otherin a totally different machine!
