THE EMPIRE DELEGATES
WARM TRIBUTE BY THE PRESS.
lElec. Tel. Cajjyrignt— United Press Assn.) iAusti-aJlan alia N.Z. Cable Association)
LONDON, June 17. The morning newspapers give prominence to Mr. Hughes' and Mr. Cook's arrival and enthusiastic welcome at Euaton station, and display interviews on similar lines to the American speeches.
The Morning Post says: — "The safe arrival of Mr. Hughes is an event of importance to the Empire, for in his frail body burns an indomitable soul. He is resolved upon victory, and not jui empty victory, but one which will make the Empire secure. Mr. Hughes realises that the Germans value their colonies as naval bases. He also knows that the foundation of our security rests upon control of raw material and security of industry. Wo are . glad to know th4t statesmen like Mr. Masßey, Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Cook, who deal in realities, are helping to fight against insidious attempts to divert Britain into a bog and quagmire of political idealism. A League of Nations and other such schemes is being thrust upon a bewildered public instead! of realities, all based on the craven and un-British principle of surrendering our friends in order to placate our enemies."
