There is one important subject. : however, which has so far not been suggested in the public utterances of the several Preralers, which, as it seems to us, should be included in the agenda of the Conference. That is, Empire Defence, and

eclally the defence of our sea trade and communications. With all respect to those who are speak. Jisg and writing about the trade and economic problems likely to be dealt with at Ottawa, we think that the ommission of deliberations upon de- fence problems would be a grave mistake. For without sufficient and efficient power to defend

During the flight, King Albert travelled as an ordinary passenger, "He who obtained the greatest ap occupying seats in the saloons of plause was Silva, who by nature was the Great Imperial air-liners and endowed with the enviable voice of flying-boats in company with the the sweetest and limpid timbre of passengers booked on the ordinary the crystal..

View of Jungle Life. During his flight from Cairo to Uganda, along the section which stretches from Wadi Halfa to Malakal, the King obtained some magnificent bird's eye views of wild life. From the window of his aerial saloon he saw at least four herda of elephants which must have num- bored nearly 1,000 animals, besides large groups of buffalo, giraffe and other game. The pilot of the air- liner steered his machine so as to the elephants, thus pass low over affording the King the clearest view of them, and on this occasion the

animals did not stampede or take. fright being apparently quite undis- turbed by the passage of the air- craft overhead.

His Majesty's Message. It is understood that King Albert thoroughly enjoyed his unique ex- perlence, and at the conclusion of his 10,000 miles' aerial Journey, the following telegram was received by Sir Eric Geddes, Chairman of Imperial Airways, from Major Van Caubergh, the equerry who accom panied the King:-

"I am happy to convey to you in the name of His Majesty ap-: preciation of the way in which the long journey was made plea-1 sant thanks to the organisation and attention of imperial air- ways."

The speed of long-distance air was well illustrated by the time-table of the King's trip.

It is to be expected that some of the measures which we and the other peoples of the Empied may desire to adopt will necessarily ap- pear to be opposed to the Immediate interests of certain foreign peoples. and though this may be so, venture to think that the linking up of the British Empire in the bonds of economic union will, in the long run, benefit the whole world and bring about the return of universal prosperity.

We venture, therefore, to put for ward for the consideration of the Governments of the Empire a sug-

The various parts of the Empire have here a unique opportunity of coming together and deciding how much and in what direction each can contribute towards the main- tenatice of peace and security by defensive measures; such measures we believe would assuredly be wel- come to the peoples of the Empire.
