EMPIRE TOUR
LORD LOVAT’S INTENTIONS REPLY TO CRITICISM. Press Association— By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, January io. (Received January 26, at 1.5 p.m.) Referring to the criticism of Lori Lovat, the' Dominions Office explains that the tour is not duplicating Mr Amery’s, but is complementary to it. The principal purposes relate to migration and iorestry. The first arises out of his chairmanship of the Overseas Settlement Committee, by means of which Lord Lovat is responsible for the expenditure of £3,000,000 annually, necessitating the closest co-operation with the dominions and an intimate knowledge of their conditions and requirements, which Mr Amery studied on broad lines. Lord Lovat proposes giving ins attention to details which the comm\> tee’s experience has demonstrated are not obtainable second-hand, except unsatisfactorily. Secondly, Lord Lovat is acknowledged as the chief authority on forestry in Britain, and the Dominions Office hopes that the tour anil enlarge his knowledge of Empire forestry.
