MR BRUCE’S TOUR
WASHINGTON LEFT.
BUSINESS MEN’S PRIVILEGES. QUESTION TO BE DISCUSSED. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received January 3. 8.5 a.m. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. Mr Bruce was the least occupied today of any day since his arrival, owing to the holiday. He yesterday attended a Presidential luncheon, at which various heads of departments and notables were present, and also addressed the English-Speaking Union. His visit concluded officially to-day. State Department representatives bade farewell to Mr Bruce and party at the station, when they departed for Montreal. It is understood that during his visit to the State Department, _ Mr Bruce took up the matter of business men’s visits to the United States, on a basis of the Treaty of_ 1815 with Britain, under which the United States permitted, without exception, all privileges of stay in America to citizens of Britain and its possessions in Europe. This treaty, was discovered during the visit of an official to the State Department, and it has been suggested that an amendment of the latter phrase would give Australian business men the same privilege a 6 those extended to the British. This led Mr Bruce to take up the subject and it is understood that the State Department will go into the matter and take advice thereon. —A. and N.Z. cable. ,
