SLOGAN FOR BRITAIN. THEIR QUALITY PRAISED VALUE OF UNITY STRESSED. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received Nov. 20, 11.20 a.m. LONDON, Nov. 19. Sir Ernest Birch presided at the annual dinner of the League, at which the Duke of York was the guest of honour. He referred to shopping weeks, and said that products of tne Empire were never ol' a higher standard than at present. He said: “Buy Empire goods from patriotic motives and you will reap an immediate reward in the superior quality of your purchases.” Responding to the toast of the services,” Admiral Hubert Brand suggested a fund to enable British legislators to tour the Empire to form an adequate conception of the work of the Navy in defending the trade routes.
Earl Clarendon, rsepomling to the toast of the Empire overseas, ■ emphasised the fact that parts of the Eimpire, acting as a single unit, could exert a greater force than any agency in the world. He laid stress on the necessity of personal experience and intercourse throughout the Empire, in which connection the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York set such a fine example.—Rleuter.
