MR AMERY’S TOUR
IMPRESSIONS OF DOMINIONS. WORKING AS COLLEAGUES. (Rec. 11 p.m.) London, March 24. Mr Amery and Sir Granville Ryrie wero the chief guests at the Press Club dominions’ night dinner. Mr Amery said that the last Englishman to make such a trip as his, though in a reverse direction, was Sir Francis Drake, who brought back a wonderful story of the romance of new worlds and the prospects opened up for England. He was not sure that Drake brought back more romance than he had seen during the last few months round the world. Each dominion was much wrapped up in its own history and future destiny, each recognizing it was but part of the wider destiny of the Empire. Minority tutelage had now ended and they were working as colleagues with equal freedom. Never throughout the tour had he seen or heard anything suggesting that this new freedom was conceived as the beginning of disintegration, but as a new, sounder and more enduring basis of co-operation. The last Imperial Conference took a tremendous act of faith. The progress of the world rested on acts of faith. He believed that in one form or another this act of faith was justified for the good and peace of the world and the advancement of British people.—A. and N.Z.
