ROYAL EMPIRE
SOCIETY AND
HONGKONG
On a tour through the Far
East in order to spread the
gospel" of Imperialism, Lt. Col. S. P. Williams, C.I.E. Travelling Secretary of the famous Royal Empire Society, is in Hongkong.
Williams
Yesterday Lt. Col. addressed local Rotarians and their
Auests. Last night, in a chat in his rooms at the Hongkong Hotel, he told me something about the objects and aims of the Society he repre- Bents.
The British Empire is, says Lt. Col. Williams, the one soild rock in the troubled neas of international politics, and he believes that world de- and revival, prosperity safety pends at the moment on the solidity of the many links Colonial and Dominion that are that Empire.
"Unity within the British Empire is essential to-day as it never has been before," Lt. Col. Williams told ine. "It is the duty of every one of us to foster solidity in the Emp
Empire. Unity is impossible without know-
edge and mutual understanding.
To provide a centre for discussion and the machinery for the dissem- ination of information throughout ali the peoples of the Empire is the im portant contribution which the Royal Empire Society in making lo this great alm.
"The Society is reorganising itself In order to develop to the utmost is scope and its activities.
NEW HEADQUARTERS
"The Royal Empire Society has grown out of the old Colonial 1- slitute, which was founded in a couple of rooms in the Strand nearly seventy years ago. Just after I left London on my present tour it moved to its new buildings in Northumber fund Avenue, which were opened by the present King.
"With the move into its new head- quarters, the Society enters a new stage in its career. A Junior section has been started, and by stimulating the youth of the country to a con-. sciousness of their Empire respon- sibilities, an important contribution will be mado to the future of Empire unity
זיור
"The Royal Empire Society arose out of the foresight and enthusiasm of a small cluster of Imperialists who determined to combat the theory then widely held that Great Britain would be much better off without her self-
Coverning Colonies.
"Largely owing to the pioneer work
of these men, the 'general at- titude of the world towards the Em- pire has gradually changed. The ylew moro generally held to-day is to think of the Empire as something of vital importance-as an Influence in the cause of civilisation rather than as a mere conglomeration of territories."
