IMPERIAL CLUB
SIR T. MACKENZIE'S OPINION. BY CAB 013 -VSS3S ASSOCIATION—COPY EIGH':.(Received Jan. 29, 9.30 a.m LONDON, Jan. 27. Sir Thomas MacKenzie, interviewed regarding tho great Imperial Club vhich tho Prince of Wales said yesterday lie was very keen about, says that it would cost £1,000,000. Moreover, at present the High Commissioners and Agents-General try to do their best for the overseas visitors, but their power and facilities are limited. The Colonial Imperial institutes and other organisations are doing splendid work, but a club is wanted for the reception and accommodation of overseas folk where they oau meet 'each other, and English men and Avomen interested in Imperial affairs, aud-where they would be able to offer hospitality to friends. The club should give simple, inexpensive -.receptions for those it is desirab'je to establish connections with. It would be a central institution where overseas ; visitors Hid British traders could readj ily come together.
