PUPILS OFTEN PRECOCIOUS

‘BUCK UP, ENGLAND’ MOTTO

By Telegraph—-Press Aspn.—Copyrisrht. Rec. 7 p.m. London, Feb. 17. Forty nations from China to Peru, from Russia to Rojas, were represented at the British industries fair banquet. The president of the Board of Trade, Mr. W. Graham,- presided. He read the Prince of Wales’ message expressing hope that the recommendation of the Chelmsford committee would be carried but, making the fair a national manifestation of the quality and range bf British products and an increasingly powerful factor in the expansion of tradb. The Duke of Gloucester said Britain taught other nations how to trade as it taught tlieni hoW io play games, lit both efises the pupils were precocious and apt to give Britain a beating now arid again.. The Home Secretary, Mr. J. H. Thomari, said he could assure them there would be no general election in the next three years. His salary was more secure than Lord Derby’s hope of winning next year’s Derby. Their motto should be “Btlck up, England 1” Lord Chelriisford said they niust give buyers the appearance that the fair represented British industry as a whole arid make it ceftalh that no buyer cbuld afford to pash it by. “I am gbiiig to pay the forfeit for my eriti'y in the Derby,” said Ldi'd Derby, and lib suggested that Mr. Thomas might pay forfeit for his Government.

' Sir Ryrie Granville (High Commissioner for Australia) suggested that the Duke of Gloucester should visit Australia. He added: “Australia, will piy its debts; there Wilt be ho de* fault; every cOpper of interest will be iriet.”
