THE NASTY UNTRUTH.
Tiic '.ondon correspondent of the Wellington Post states thai a. gentleman writing to the Saturday Review from New Zealand, gives a very jaundiced view- of oversea affairs. "I do not think you realise in Enland how strong are the disintegrating influences in Australia, and, in a smaller degree, here. England is largely to blame for this. You have flattered and praised Australia to nausea; the consequences are disastrous. Witness tho great Gallipoli lie. the great Anzac lie. You have driven Australia, and ourselves, too. to believe that wc are great nations, and that were it not for us you would have been overwhelmed by Germany. Facts are • nasty things. Australia would rather see the U.S.A. in the Pacific than England. England must at all costs be kept, out, and have no naval base in those glorious islands." The Saturday Review adds: "If these are facts, we agree that they
are nasty."
