SIR ROBERT STOUT.
INTERVIEWED AT PERTH.
Sir Robert Stout, in an interview at Perth, said he considered the British people do not realise the important constitutional question involved in the recent elections. There might be grave trouble ahead of the liberal party it the King had given Mr Asquith a pledge as to what he would do, but no doubt some way would be found. Regarding the condition of the English workers, he paid a tribute to Mr John Burns for his efforts to improve them. What England most wanted was a crusade against the drink evil, headed by the National leaders.
In manufactures, England still exported twice as much per capita as Germany, and four times as much as America, but a slackness seemed to prevail among the people who were given over to amusements.
He compared the Australian press favourably with the English papers, and declared the Eondoa Times had lost its independent tone and become a party organ.
