TRUCK SERVICE THAT PAYS OFF IN EXTRA MILEAGE! ^«'e5,h0' fob­ The Imperial Press Conference did not confine itself to “shop talk.” The delegates? heard address­ es On, subjects of general Empire interest and concern. For instance, one session was"devoted to Hmplire Security. The discussion was con­ ducted by Field Marshall Viscount Alanbrooke, Chief of the Imperial General Staff; Admiral of the Fleet Viscount Cunningham, First Sea Lord and Chief o.f the Naval Staff; and Marshall of Royal Air Force, the Lord Tedder, Chief of the Air Staff. These are three of the great British war leaders, Sir Alan Brooke, (his nan^e before 'being raised to the peerage) was in com­ mand of the British Second Corps in Europe early in the wair and con­ ducted the remarkable retreat to Dunkirk when tlhe French army col­ lapsed. Lord Cunningham was in command of the British fleet in the Mediterranean during the ‘critical days before and aftei’ the invasions of North Africa and Italy. He was succeeded by another Admiral with the same name (Cunningham) who has since also become First Sea Lord. Lord Tedder is one of the popular heroes of the war, They spoke freely of the Empire's mili­ tary and naval needs and answer­ ed frankly the many questions put to them. This was a private session. The addresses and discussion were “off the record,” and so cannot be reported here. It is, however, prob­ ably permissable to say that one of the questions raised and discuss­ ed was the possibility of Canada’s northern regions becoming the scene of operations in the event of an­ other war. r,o v pod ex- SEE US FOR COMPLETE gow/year TIRE SERVICE SNELGROVE Tire and Electric 'Phone 18 Exeter Empire World Policy At another session the subject was Empire Policy Towards World Problems. The chief speaker was the Rt. Hon. Lord 'Altrincham, who recalled that -as ,a young journalist he had attended the first Imperial Press Conference in 19'0-9. He re­ called 'also the prophetic speech given on that occasion by Lord Rosebery, <and the fact that that great prophet of Empire had made use of the term Commonwealth of Nations as long ago as 1884, 'forty years -before General Smuts, to whom it is generally ascribed. Lord Altrincham advocated, a series- of regional organizations (Supplemen­ tary to the United Nations Organ­ ization. This, he argued, was es­ sential of the World was not to fall into the “frightening -dualism’’ -of two great blocs which General Smuts envisaged. U.N.O. could only grow into -a dominating world sov- ©reingity by -degrees. Meantime, -he called on. tli-e countries of -the Em­ pire to take the lead in setting up regional groups, including foreign nations, in Europe, the near East. America, the South Pacific and Africa, in -all of which the Empire was concerned. Lord Altrincham contended that such regional se­ curity organizations were express­ ly provided for in the Charter, had ibeen advocated by M-r. Churchill, and involved co-operation with Had Another Bad Night? Couldn’t You Get Any Rest ? To those who toss, night after night, on sleepless beds.

He referred to the mutual defence compact between Canada and the United States as an ex­ ample of such regional agreements. Russian mistrust of the democra­ cies, Lord Altrincham believed to be based op a well-grounded fear that infiltration of democratic ideas would be fatal tp the Soviet political and economic system, It may be remarked that Austral­ ia and New Zealand have already initiated a move for a regional or­ ganization in the South Pacific of the kind advocated by Lord Altrin­ cham, Their proposal has received the blessing of Great Britain, but requires the co-operation of the United States to make it effective Defence of the Empire Another speaker at the same session, Mr. Lionel Curtis, took a. somewhat different line. Mr. Cur­ tis is a disciple of Lord Milner, an apostle of British founder of the Round Table which Empire Round dealing British that the manner in which the Do­ minions rallied to the support of the Mother Country had twice saved the world from German domina­ tion, Mr. Curtis pleaded that the lessons of those two wars should not be ignored, and that the na­ tions of the Commonwealth should co-operate in providing for the common defence. He pointed out that when the “equal status” of the Dominions was recognized at the Imperial Conference of 1926, coup­ led with it was a proviso that they should be responsible for local self- defence. The same conference laid down the principle that as to the defence of the Empire as a whole, “the major share of responsibility rests now. and must for some time continue to rest, with His Majesty’s Government in Great Britain.” Mr. Curtis contended, first, that the Do­ minions had not provided for their own defence, and were not doing so now; and, secondly, that the United Kingdom was no longer in a position to assume responsibility for the defence of the Empire as a whole. Using the words of 'Crom­ well. “In the bowels of Christ I beseech you,” he pleaded with the Empire Press .to tell the people the truth, that war could be averted only if the nations of Western Europe and -all the free peoples of the world united in such a show of strength as would deter aggres­ sion and secure peace. The Empire Press Union took no action on these appeals for united co-operation in making the strength of the Empire effective in main­ taining peace. In ia gathering which included' autonomists from Canada, nationalists f void "India and various other shades -of political bpinion- it would not have been easy to frame resolutions that would uneet unani­ mous acceptance. But it is prob­ ably -not too much to say that a- iraong the delegates igenerally there was a feeling that it was desirable that some more effective methods than at present exist should be evolved for bringing about closer co-operation between the nations of the Commonwealth, in ueace as well as in -war.
