Mr. Winston Churchill

PLEA FOR EMPIRE UNITY. Mr. Austen Chamberlain, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, toasting the Foreign Ambassadors,

declared that he spoke not only in the name of Great Britain, but in the name of the Dominions Overseas.

He referred to the importance of preserving the unity of the Empire, whose intercourse should be intimate and constant to enable them to speak- to the world with single voice.

He paid tribute to the league of Nations; alluded to the Empire's peaceful aims and desires for more intimate friendship with her wartime allies; he welcomed the co-operation of the United States and hoped that co-operation would not be withheld "in the difficulties confronting us.

BALDWIN WELL RECEIVED,

Mr. Stanley Baldwin, the Premier, who met with a most enthusiastic ovation, humorously likened Mr. Winston Churchill and Mr. Austen Chamberlain to the City of London's traditional giants Gog and Magog. One guards the pockets of the people, the other guards the policy abroad.

He declared the main aim of the Governe ment's foreign policy would be stability and con tinuity (Cheers), He intended to cultivate good relations with all foreign countries on a basis of the peace treaties.. He declared this was in no wise a policy of stagnation as shown by the action of the last Unionist Administration, which had led directly to the Dawes report and the London Con- ference, which "under the able direction of Mr. MacDonald proved so'successful."
