MISLEADING NEWS
AUSTRALIAN WILD DOG MYTH. (Rec. July 10, 5.5 p.m.) London, July 8. The day after Air. Huglire at the Imperial Conference had complained o,f the inadequate and misleading news regarding Australia, a cablegram from Sydney stated that wild dogs from the centre were steadily creeping over New South Wales, and farmers were retiring before the menace. Mr. Hughes says that it is lamentable' to find such gross and mischievous misrepresentation. "It is hard to express one’s indignation at such venomous attempts to belittle and injure our great and rich country.” he declared. "[ can onlv look to public opinion in Australia to' deal with this kind of cable. The recrudescence of the wild deg myth comes at a rnomc-nt when I hold an official message from Australia about the remarkably favourable position. Nothing could be more contradictory than this information from the Government and th.i story of desolation wibled from Sydney This kind of nows served up in England and to the world will affect our credit, nnd be destructive to the price of our oonimed.itirti.” Mr. Hughes has already directed the attention of the proprietors of Ijondon papers to. tire misleading statement—Aus.-N.Z.
