OUT OF POLITICS.
MR. BRUCE’S “FATAL QUALITY.”
Speaking at a civic reception tendered him as he passed through Adelaide, the Australian High Commissioner (Mr S. M. Bruce) said he wanted to make it clear that lie has passed out of the political field altogether, and in some respects he was glad. “I was unsuited to politics,” he said, “as I suffered from the fatal quality that I could always see the other fellow’s view, and that is a hopeless thing in polities. What was a failing there is probably an advantage now. “While it might be all right to dispute between ourselves in Australia, there should be no dissentient voice in oversea affairs,” Mr Bruce added.
