LEAD TO THE WORLD.
POSSIBILITIES AT OTTAWA. ROYAL APPEAL TO DELEGATES. ix>sno:~. jni- i. Speaking on behalf of the Prince of Wales at the Canadian Dominion Day diiiner at the Ssvov Hotel to the Ottawa Conference delegates from Britain, Prince George made a marked impression on his hearers by sounding a call to the Empire to give the world a lead toward an cat'et from its distresses. The Prince fcaSd the future -welfare of the Empire depended upon success at Ottawa..' The recognition of the equality of status of the Dominions could not be better recognised than holding the conference in a Dominion capital. The delegates should make every effyrt at Ottawa to hearten the world in concert with measures in which other countries could co-operate. The Empire could eive a lead in the right direction. If an upward movement in wholesale prices could be started, the benefit to producers would be far greater than any measures more exclusively inspired. The outbreak of trade restrictions threatened to strangle world trade. The Empire, internally, was relatively free from these causes of distress. Could not she give a iea-d which would restore confidence ? The Prince wished the representatives Godspeed and a full measure of •success.
