KNOW THE EMPIRE.
IGNORANCE IN THE OLD COUNTRY. By Cable —Press Asso nation—Copyright. LONDON, June 2G. In an interview, the Hon. James Craigie, M.L.C., who conferred with prominent Conservative and Liberal statesmen, said the public’s ignorance of, and indifference to, the Empire’s welfare is astounding. The mass ot the people did not realise tnat the time was gone when Britain was the only important part of the Empire. British politicians must stir the people’s imagination and educate their minds to grasp the modern meaning of Empire. The North of England and Scotland showed more interest in the Empire than the south and London showed. He attributed this to the feverish rush of London life, in which everybody was a specialist in his respective calling, with no time to study wider interests.
