IMPERIAL BONDS.

PLEA FOR BETTER CONNECTIONS.

MR MASSEY AT YORK

(Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.)

LONDON, Dec. 0

Mr Massey, speaking at a luncheon at York given by Sir William Forster Todd, who was Lord-Mayor when Mr Massey received the freedom of that city, said lie lioped that nothing would interfere with the splendid sentiment now steadily growing between Ihe. different countries of the Empire. He knew something of the forces working against them, but they could be countered if they made up their minds to do so. He hoped the Imperial Conference would have a good .effect, for it was urgently important to the Dominions’ that the Cabinet Ministers should meet, even if they did not agree. He trusted that, more satisfactory communications would be made between Britain and the Dominions, because if arrangements were not made therefor some day some Power would come along and cut the connection. The visit of the naval squadron would do more to convince the Dominions of Britain’s concern for empire than anythingr they could read in the newspapers.”
