"TOO MODEST."
- MR BRUCE ON AMERICANS. (BT CABLB— PEBBS ASSOCIATION—COPYBIGfcT.) (AUSTRALIAN ANT V.Z CABM ASSOCIATION) NEW YORK, January 2. "The United States is far too modest about what it is accomplishing," declared the Rt. Hon. Stanley Bruce, at a luncheon given in his honour at Philadelphia by Rear-Ad-iniral Thomas Magruder. "We have uninformed persons ranting about the blow-hard characteristics of America," he said. "They say that the United States is too brazen about itself. Anything farther from the truth could scarcely be imagined. Anyone who knows this splendid country—a country that Australia has endeavoured to pattern herself upon iu many ways—knows that the United States does not do enough talking abdut itself. In fact, it is indecently modest. You are leading the world, bnt you do Dot let the world know it. No country is more misunderstood and more vilified. America needs to give the world a campaign of education."
