THAT FINE THING THE EMPIRE.
Lord Willingdon on His Old Post and His New.
LIFE OVERSEAS.
Lord Willingdon, the new Viceroy of India, talked with an Evening | News correspondent before leaving
Britain.
He spoke of his old days in India, when he was Governor of Bombay, of his life in Canada, where he was Governor-General until recently, of the days that are to come in India, when he will be the King-Emperor's representative.
Even the dusty, gloomy, great halls of the India Office could not temper the brilliant bonhomie of Lord Willingdon.
The dust of ages on the dummy bookshelves lining the walls of the corridors along which I followed an official to the Viceroy's room smear- ed my sleeve as I stepped on one, aide to pass a tall, sad-looking in-i |dividual, writes the correspondent. Great potentates of the past looked down on me from out the gigantic frames of pictures of incredible size.
For a few minutes I waited out- side the door of the Viceroy's room. The gloom of the high halls was beginning to tell. Then I was signalled to go in, and I found my- self in a large room flooded with bright sunshine through vast win- dows.
A "Reglar Fella."

Hére Lord Willingdon smiled # wry smile.
Little Lessons.
"But mark you." he continued, "the political fights based on
thoughts of the Empire which have Laken place during the past few months have done a great deal to- wards making people realise what and where the Empire is.
"Well, as far as I am concerned, I have no fears of suffering from the contrast of India in the matter of temperatures."
He swung back on his chair and looked at me with that fine direct glance of his.

asked the Viceroy.
He pondered a moment, and that inspiring smile of his flashed back to his keen eyes,
"Well, I have been away pretty regularly for sixteen years, you know," he replied.
"It has its disadvantages, but, oh the interest that such a life bringe to you far more than com- pensates for any discomfort."
He shrugged his broad shoulders and amiled boyishly.

He opened a letter, glanced at it, threw it on his desk, and smiled up "You know, I don't think people at home here know quite enough about the fine places in the Empire like Canada. It is a grand place.
