At which the guests were Sir Charles Prestwood Lucas (author of Greater Rame and Greater Brisain" and "Story of Empire," head of the Dominions De partment. 1007-11) and Professor Arthur Percival Neyton (Rhodes Professor of Imperial History at the University of London, author of The Empire and the Future." The Sea Commonwealth, etc.). Commander T. Tuck, RN, pre sided, and the vico-chair was occupied by Mr. C. Ernest Fayle (author of The Great Settlement, History of Seaborne Trade," etc.).
