(United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)
Received December 18, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, December 17. The chief interest in the Empire .ea # ue s farewell luncheon to Sir James Parr was his personal announcement that his relinquishment of the High Commissionership would not mean the end of his zeal and activity for the Empire. “ I may confess,” he said, “ that I have pledged myself to give my time and energies to the furtherance of the great cause of Empire Free Trade, known as Free Trade within the Empire. It has its difficulties, but I am convinced that they are not insuperable. The thing can be done and I propose to help it all I can. I am sure that the maintenance of the Empire largely depends on closer and freer commercial relations between ihe Motherland, the dominions and the cclonies. We have not yet scratched the surface of the Empire’s immense potentialities.”
