Need for Co-operation
VANCOUVER, Nov. 7. In the course of an address he delivered before the Canadian Club at Victoria, British Columbia, Lord Stonehaven, former Governor-General of the Commonwealth, said: “Australia’s difficulties are problems for that country alone. To say anything about them is to tamper with something she can handle capably herself.” Declaring himself an Imperialist, Lord Stonehaven deplored the fact ■.bat British countries were not showing the samo Empire spirit of cooperation that was so marked in the war. The constitutional independence uf each other was to blame. The Empire covered more than a quarter of the world, yet the Mother Country had two million unemployed, while she was labouring under a heavy taxation burden.
Lord Stonehaven added that he had r.ccn Australia for fi.vc years from tho best .point of view and ho regretted leaving when it was faced with so many problems. The Australian people had courage and tho spirit to bring her back to a smooth channel of progress. The Canadians could help by buying Australian goods.
