BUY EMPIRE GOODS.
OVERSEAS LEAGUE DINNER.
LEGISLATORS SHOULD TRAVEL.
SPLENDID ROYAL EXAMPLE,
(Reuter.) (Received November 20, 10.20 a.m.)
LONDON, November 19. Sir Ernest Birch presided at the annual dinner of the Overseas League. The Duke of York, who was the guest of honour, referred to the Empire shopping weeks. The products of the Empire 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.” Responding to the toast of “The Services,” Admiral Hubert Brand suggested the founding of a fund to enable British legislators to tour the Empire to form an adequate conception of the work of the Navy in defending the trade routes.
Lord Clarendon, responding to the toast of “The Empire Overseas,’’ emphasised the fact that the parts of the Empire, acting as a single unit could exert a greater force than any-agency in the world. He 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 had set such a line example.
