INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS.

BRITISH INSTITUTE.

The Prince of Waics has accepted the office of Visitor of the British Institute of International Affairs (says Reuter.)-

An historic mansion in West- minster has been presented by two Canadians, whose identity is not at present disclosed, as a Home for the Institute, and the official cere mony of its acceptance will be per- formed by the Prince of Wales shortly after his return to London.

The Institute was founded in 1919 by members of the Peace Dolegation at the Paris Conference, from Great Britain, the Dominions, and India. The membership In- cludes some 800 persons of all parties including officials, and is open to British subjects who are serious students of foreign affairs.

Its objects are the research, dis- cussion, and issue of publications which will enable public men throughout the Empire to follow the course of foreign affairs, and by study and mutual instruction to equip themselves as guides of pub- lic opinion. The Institute is de- barred by its constitution from pro- paganda. It can neither formulate nor advocate policies.

The presidents are the Marquess Curzon, the Earl of Balfour, Vis- count Grey, Lord Robert Cecil, Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Clynes.
