LONDON,, Feb. 16,

“I s till believe that the British lion Only dozes. For all onr sakes, we must wake him up.’’ , Sir Charles Iligham used these ■words last, night in a speech, at tlie Royal Empire ,Society on “Is Publicity Good for the Empire?’’ “Britsih trade,’’ he added, “is in a wilderness of apathy. “The industries of the Empire piust organise collectively and , advertise. Tell the world, or the world will soon forget you. The way to get trade ip to go after it. Tlie cheapest, and quickest way to get it is through the newsjiapers.

“We are grumbling, not lighting. Ret us get an Imperial Govcrnihenf that represents us all. We want tlie best brains in tiritai.ii to govern us—never in in it their politics.

.“Choose men wild can do tilings, men who, if given a cli.an.ee, would put this country back on the map as the Business Empire of the world. “ Wc need an Imperial l’arty led by a great ,business man who has t.fie cou-r age of his convict-ions, and the country’s need first and his own personal glory last, and I believe we are going to get it soon.’’
