NOT A BACK NUMBER
ENGLAND AND THE TEST OBJECT-LESSON TO WORLD (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) LONDON, Sunday. "The greatest object-lesson England has ever given the world,” is how the Australian representative of a big Manchester firm, in a letter to the Federation of British Industries, describes the winning of the Ashes. He declares that the majority of Australians are overjoyed by England’s success. For a decade Australia has been a centre of consistent propaganda by other nations to the effect that England is a back number, with obsolete machinery and factories—that it has lost its punch and can never come back, etc., etc.
"Now everybody is sitting up, noting that England has well and truly come back once again in the supreme national game. This gives the lie to the poisonous propaganda circulated in Australia.”
