BRITAIN'S WEAKNESS.
"ENGLAND'S CONTEMPTIBLE POSITION." WHY GERMANY BEATS ALBION, By Cable—Press Association —Copyright Received June 3, 7.50 p.m. Melbourne, Last Night. Professor Osborne, addressing a meeting of business men, spoke in unsparing terms of the contemptible position England occupied in relation to Germany and the United iStates in her attitude of indifference towards science and the higher education. He attributed the menace of Germany and the growing rivalry to the work done in German laboratories, and ironically .pointed to the contrast between the concern itic in England over the victories gained .by visiting Australian cricketers or New Zealand footballers, and the indifference shown when Germany, by purely intellectual effort in her laboratories, robbed England of her Indian indigo trade. The Professor ended by saying that he was far more afraid of German organic chemistry than of her canals or Dreadnoughts.
