DR. MANNIX.

ANOTHER INTERVIEW. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. Received—August 11, 1.45 p.m. LONDON, August 10. Archbishop Mannix, interviewed in London, declared that there was more in the Government’s attitude than they wish the public to realise. The hostility of Mr Hughes and others like him was due to Archbishop Mannix helping to defeat conscription and save democratic Australia from military despotism, also because Archbishop Mannix had defended Ireland from persistent and systematic vilification in the cables through London, which are the only cables Australians ever get. Deliberate attempts made to discredit him in America had failed. He stood' by every syllable of his speeches.
