Sir Ernest Birch presided at the annual dinner of the Overseas League. The Duke of York was the guest of honour and referred to Empirfe Shopping Weeks. The products of the Em-
pire were never of a higher standard than at present, he said. “ Buy Empire goods from patriotic motives and you will reap an immediate reward in "the superior quality of your purchase,” he declared. Responding to the toast of “ The Services,” Admiral Hubert Brand suggested a fund to enable British legislators to tour the Empire so as to form an adequate conception of the work of the Navy in defending trade routes. Lord Clarendon, responding to the toast of “ The- Empire Overseas,"’ emphasised the fact that the parts of the Empire acting as single units could exert a greater force than any agency in the world. lie laid stress on the necessity of personal experience and intercourse throughout the Empire, in which connection the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York set such a fine example.
