BRUSSELS, December 9.—A British airman, Alan Cobham, bae arrived V hero from London, flying a six-borse-power aeroplane. Ho descended at Lympno on route on account of the mist. —Reuter. LONDON, December 9.—Mr Massey, speaking at a luncheon at York given bv S'r William Forster Todd, who w r as Lord Mayor when Mr Massey received the Freedom of the City, said he hoped that nothing would interfere with the spk-ndid sentiment new steadily growing between! the different countries of the Empire. He know something of the forces working against them; but limy could he countered if they made up their minds to do so. Mr Massey said ho hoped that the Imperial Conference would have a good effect, for it was urgently important to the dominions’ Cabinet Ministers to meet, oven if they did not agree. Ho trusted that more satisfactory communications would bo made between Britain and the domin’.ons, because if arrangements wero not made for this, some day some Power would come along and cut the connection. The visit of the naval squadron would do more to convince the dominions of Britain’s concern for the Empire than anything they could read in the newspapers.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
