A SEVERE CRITIC.
PLEASURE-LOVING COLONIALS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Rec. Juno 27, 0.20 a.m.) London, Juno 26. Miss Talbot, secretary of the Victoria League, who recently visited Australasia, contributes to "The Times" a Statement that in colonial towns, possibly through the lack of intercourse, there is a tendency among the younger people in Australia, Now Zealand, and Canada to regard the Mother Country as played out. Those of them visiting England, adds Miss Talbot, should bo enabled to know- something of British home life and industrial work. The wealthy classes in the overseas Dominions are slower to realise their public responsibilities than in England. Miss TaJbot complains of a want (.f pliability among tho Hom« manufacturers, as compare! with, their foreign competitors. She- refers to thu tendency of prosperous colonials to bring up their children to a ceaseless round of. pleasure and enjoyment, disregarding the spiritual side of things and the necessity for discipline and self-sacrifice.
