Sir George Richardson, in a brief address at the Devonport Orphans’ Club, in speaking of the standing of the English, stated that during a recent visit to America he was not long in ascertaining that the word of an Englishman was his bond. While attending the League of Nations, he talked w'ith a university professor of a foreign land, who remarked: “ You Englishmen during the Boer War pursued your object and won. Then you said to the Boers, ‘Go now and govern your own country.’ and for that spirit .England was ‘admired immensely.”
