ANZAC DAY BANQUET FUNCTION IN VANCOUVER (Received April 27, 5.5 p.m.) VANCOUVER, April 26 Three hundred guests attended the first annual Anzac Day banquet of the Australia and New Zealand Association. The guests included Mr. Justice A. M. Manson, and Bishop H. E. Sexton, formerly of Adelaide and Melbourne, now Bishop of British Columbia. Proposing the toast of the Empire, Bishop Sexton said: "If the Empire goes west, it will not be the fault of the King and the Governments, but of the mass of the people." Mr. Reece Hague, the president, declared that the defences of Australia and New Zealand were an example to Canada.
