BRITAIN AND GERMANY.
BRITISH POLICY ATTACKED. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, January 14. Following the Daily News, the Nation demands a new Foreign Secretary, complaining of Sir Edward Grey's preoccupied animus against Germany. "One of the things which impressed me most strongly during my travels in v Europe was the unveiled hostility of ■evr.rel European countries towards England." Thug Mr. T. Hughes. M.L.C., who lias spent twelve months in travelling through Europe, and who returned to Sydney last week. "The prevailing ;rn-prr-ssior. on the Continent was that war could hardly be put off for more than two years. ''lhr safety of the Empire/' said Mr. H/Jglics, "lies in building more ships and not grudging the ro<t. and in adopting seme system of universal military training similar to our own. There is an absurd prejudice in England against what they are pleased to call conscription, which, as everyone ought to know, is an entirely different thing. But compulsory service is necessary for our safety."
