Canada gave a fine display of wheat and minerals; Australia, wool; and New Zealand butter and cheese. The whole overseas sections was vivid in colouring, with fine variety. The Worshipful Company of Fruiterers supplied a lorry laden with Empire grown fruit.

AT THE BANQUET

SPEECH BY MR BONAR LAW

(Reuter's Telegrams.)

LONDON. Nov. 10.

The Lord Mayor's banquet at the Guild Hall was 'marked by the traditional ceremonial. The High Commissioners of Australia, ' New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa attended. Mr Bonar Law, suffering from a cold, arrived after dinner. His speech was short and somewhat colourless. Paying a tribute to the part played by the Dominions in wartime he said the Dominions then sprang into manhood. Thenceforth in all her policy Britain had not only to think of public opinion at Home but by consultation, where possible, make certain it was supported by public opinion throughout the Empire. He did not think it a disadvantage that just, when the Dominions reached manhood a man who was born __ in one of them should for the first time be Prime Minister of Britain. His only reference to the electoral contest was a reminder that while all parties but one were fighting the Labour Party none was fighting Labour, because in such case not one of us could have a candidate returned. The Government's aim •was to give the League of Nations greater opportunities for usefulness. There was nothing new about Constantinople, wh'ere the Allies were ncting with the completest unanimity. He believed the difficulties would he overcome and peace in Europe be secured if the wartime Allies act together.
