Fall Contours ARTICLE I The writer has just returned from the Imperial Press .Conference held in London throughout the month of June, and followed by a ten days' tour of the British battle fields in Norman- dy, Belgium and Germany. He at- tended,the Conference as one of the seventeen Canadian delegates, among whoF4, he was a representative of the Weekly Press members of the Canati-, ian Section of the Union. In fulfilment of an obligatiOn undertaken at the time of his election to the delegation he is setting forth to write a series of half a dozen articles, describing some of the experiencea of the visit overseas, and recording some of the impressions resulting from those experiennces. At the outset may I be permitted to say that the- Confertnce and its an- cillary functions and tours was a re- markable tribute to the importance and influence ascribed to the Press of the Empire by those in high places. 'Some of The features were unique. World famous war correspondents like Ward Price and Ross Munro agreed that never before -had the army, Navy and Air Force gone to so much trouble to place the fullest explanation of their' plahs and accomplishments ;at the dis- posal of the newspapers. From the chiefs of staff down, generals, admir- als, air marshals and officers of all ranks vied with each other in proof- feting information and answering ques- tiOns. It was -the same with politicans The Conference was opened by Prem- ier Attlee and Mr. Herbert' Morrison and was privileged with an off the re- cord speech from Mr. 'Winston Chur- chill; Furthermore, some of the lead- ing industrialists of Great Britain op- ened their. factories for the inspection of the delegates, imm••• Thursday, Friday, Saturday, September 5, 6, 7 WILLIAM ELLIOTT CONSTANCE MOORE — In 1111•11.1 ••••=0.1 01•1.1, g=11111111, These are our first Fall shipment of Coats of quality material and styling •••••• goon.. /1/•Wm. •N▪ a•M.

A word. as to the Empire Press Union itself. .Formed, in 1909 on tht initiative of Sir Hat--Ty Brittain, the Union was auspiciously launched by one of the greatest of British orators, Lord Rosebery. In the intervening years five Imperial Press Conferences havt been held—in Australia, South Africa and Canada as well as Britain, the present one being the sixth. All plans had been laid for holding the six- th conference in Canada in 1940;. but the war intervened and it was thought desirable that it should be held at the heart of the Empire, in order that re- presentative journalists from all over the Commonwealth might become ac- quainted with conditions there at first hand. It may .be remarked in passing that Sir Harry Brittain, the founder of the Union, still takes an active part in its deliberations and accompanied the Press Party through all their journey- ings, standing up to the strain as well as the, youngest delegate. The object ofthe Empire Press Union was -to bring the chiefs of the Empire Press into close personal rela- tion, and to make them acquainted 40 • Floyd S.

Astor, proprie- tor of the London Times,.a man of kindly charm, infinite patience and un- failing tact, who guided the deliberat- ions with great skill, and at the same time .endeared himself to the whole membership. Coference Subjects "The Conference held formal session during the course of which such sub- jects• were discussed as "The Free- r= of the Press," "Empire Security" "Itei Einpire Communications", Em- 0=0===0=0, .01=0,` FI O pire World Policy", &c. In each case the discussion was opened by an ad- dress or addresses' 'from leading auth- orities on the subject.. But an outline of some of the 'opinions 'expressed and of the impressions they made on the writer must be reserved for future articles; as also answers to the ques- tions that comes from every direction: "How are the British people living." "Have they enough to eat?" "Can Britain come back induitrially" "What did' you think of the situation in Ger- many?" and others of a like nature. Appreciation otsor 0=11 LI 0 with one another and with the con- ditions and problems of their respec- tive countries. Tht idea of the foun- ders was that this would tend to ce- ment the ties of Empire, and member- ship was implicitly though not constit- utionally, confined to journalists who sympathised with policies leading in that direction. Latterly, however, and especially during tht war, membership in the Empire Press Union has con- ferred practical advantages, and has been sought by journalists of varying tolerance in this respect. A couple of has been a disposition towards a wide views on Imperial relations, and there the Indian delegates tb the Sixth Con- ference were, for instande, avowed Nationalists. Yet. by and large, the Empire Press Union is still a body which seeks to promote closer relat- ions among the countries of the Em- pire, and it is ,believed that its atmos- phere cannot fail to influence even those members whose journals have not been characterised by sympathy for what they call Imperialism. The Canadian. Section The Canadian Section of the Empire Press Union numbers about one hun- dred newspapers, of which only eight have been weeklies. It is hoped, how- ever that as the Union and its objeCIS become better known, there will be a marked increase in the Canadian membership, This is especially desir- able since the next Imperial Press Conference is to be held in Canada in 1950 or 1951, when leadinng members of the Empire Press will be the guests of the Press of Canada, In the light of the high standard set at the recent conference the task of keeping tin Canada's end is going to be by no means simple or easy. The present Chairman of the Cariad-. ian section is Senator Rupert: Davies, of the Kingston Whig-Standard, who also was leader of the ;Canadian delegation, while the very competent Honorary Secretary is Mr, W. A. Craick, editor of Industrial, Canada, The Canadian delegation tnimbered• seventeen, of whom three represented' the Weekly Press and two the Period- ic Press.

Profitable Father had been teaching little Bobby how to do sums. Six times he had held out a threepenny7 piece and a penny and asked his son which he would have. Each time Bobby had taken the penny, "Surely, Bobby," said father at last, "you know a threepenny-piece is worth more to ydu than a penny?" "Not the way you are teaching me," said the youngster. I've made three pence on the deal already."
