TRIBUTE TO MONARCHY

“It is my greatest hope that the British Empire will continue under a King who cannot he bought, and who cannot be persuaded to do that which is wrong,” said Viscount Nuffield. His tribute to the British monarchy was one of the most earnest passages in Viscount Nuffleld’s speech at a recent dinner in Australia. While expressing the opinion that “you people on this side of the water are far more perturbed about present world conditions than we are,” Viscount Nuffield added: “I do think that if you would give the Old Country a little more encouragement, anything you did for us we would try to return twofold. (Applause). “If the British Empire, with its Dominions, got together in trade to the fullest possible extent, we should not need to worry about the rest of the world. “It will be essential—most essential—in the near future that we all hang together, or God help us! “Great Britain may have been the only country in the world to disarm, but, believe me, when we have finished, I shall be the most surprised man in the world if we are not ready to tackle any of them who likes to come and meet us'.”
