High Commissioner Tells Why Australia Is Helping Britain

Britain Always Helped.
"Then our young nation, the pos
SCISSOR of continent as large as the
United States, passed laws drawing
sharp line OF seif-preservation between
ourselves and 300000000 Of the Kings

thwart us or refuse the royal assent
TO our policy? Not once, nor IN any
way Whatever.
II would like 20 dispe an IDEA that
Australia has any unfriendly feeiing
toward Japan. japanese squadrons WIS.,
iting Australia always receive right
royal welcome. We are very like the
Jauanese in one respect. We have a
supreme desire 20 preserve the charac-

this is quite consistent with the great
admiration for the gallantry and chiv-

London. Oct. 9.--The Right Hon. Sir
George Reid, X. c. VI. G., formerly
Prime Minister Of New South Wales
and afterward Prime Minister Of Aus
tralia, now High Commissioner for
Australia in London, gave to The New
York Tribune the following interview
upon the present situation IN Aus
tralasia:
australians are proud Of their
kinshiD with the great American dem
ocracy. We feel that we have a COM
mon mission with Americans in the
future history Of the world, especially
in the Pacific. When your splendid
fleet visited our shores there was a
greater outburst Of affection and en-
thusasm than Australia had ever wit
messed before.
81 have been twice to the United
States myself. When | was long
way off in Australia | thought | saw
q number of darks spots in the sun Of
American greatness, but when | got
nearer America the spots all seemed
to disappear and the majestic strength
and soundness of your nation reas-
sured me. Side by side with our kim
bred feeling for America stands our
love OF the home land, which in the
early days fathered Us both. We
have had a happier experience OF Brit
ish rule than America had.
"In the last sixty years we have not
had a single grievance against the I'M
perial power. 1t gave US the Australian
continent, and with it better gift
still-the rights of self-government.
We were free TO impose as high a
tariff against. the mother country as
we liked. We could separate altogether
if we liked. But the result o. our
freedom has been to make the bonds
of sentiment between mother ana
daughter stronger than the mightest
brute force.
None Would Change Flag.
"What is true about us is true Just
now of the 430. 100000 of British sub
iects. The dominions have self-gov-
erument: the colored subjects of the
King are being trained splendidly for
the same privilege. If referendum
of the people were taken, not one OF
the races of the empire would change
the British flag for another flag flying
anywhere.
feeling is about the aggressiveness of
England's enemies in this war. the
very day that England declared war
against Germany, Australia, $1,000
miles away, flashed across the sea an
offer of thousands of volunteers.
Since then she has sent series Of
magnificent gifts and has cut all her
trade communication in order to
guarantee the supplies of the mother
country. A commercial people like the
Americans can understand what that
action means as the voluntary sacrifice
Of free people.
"A few years ago newly federated
Australia resolved to have feet of
her own. The British Admiralty did
not like the idea of more fleets than
one under the White Ensign. But did
Britain try to thwart US? On the con-

History Repeating Itself.

And yet there remains tie tact thdt
both enemies and friends are surprised
at our efficiency. This is no new phe-
nomenor. Again and again IN the
course 81 history the British armies
have had to win once more the reputa-
ton which had been forgotten. Con-
tinentals have always begun by retus-
ing TO take them seriously. Napoleon,
who had never met them in battle, inn
aqined that their unbroken success was
due to some weakness in his marshals
rather than in any excellence OF the
troops. AT last | have them, these
