“IN THE NAME OF THE EMPIRE.”
i>:r Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, October 27. Special significance attaches to the Marquis Ourzon’s memorandum to America, in which he says that he is speaking “ in the name of the whole British Empire, os represented by the Imperial Conference.” This is believed to the first instance in which, in a dispatch to a foreign Power, the Empire as a whole has been so mentioned. It may be assumed from this that the phrase is a clear indication that, before the dispatch was sent, the dominion delegates to the Conference sev- , ©rally expressed their views and their acquiescence in so grave a document. Stress was laid on the fact that, in the tragic circumstances of Europe, it was valuable to the British Government, which was so closely involved in the European tangle to have the opinions of men from the New World, with more detached views, expressed on the complexities of the situation.
