EMPIRE'S SECURITY.
ASSURED BY CONFERENCE. MR. HUGHES' OPINION. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. CRecd. 12.30 a,m.) LONDON. July 25. Mr. W. M. Hughes was the principal guest at the Lyceum Club to-day, the Marchioness of Aberdeen presiding. Responding to the toast of his health, Mr. Hughes said that everyone expected a new world to emerge from the war. Instead it was the same old world with the people unchanged and nations unaltered, except the British Empire, which was stronger than ever. The Dominion representatives were now endeavouring to cement the tie, while British statesmen were extending an invitation to the overseas outposts of the Empire to share in its responsibilities. If nothing else was achieved, the security of the Empire was assured by the understanding reached, which guaranteed the integrity of the great British community of nations.
