Editor's Vision To Be Realized on World Cruise

The above picture showing the Empress of Britain and Sydney's great harbour bridge re- presents the dream of an Australian editor, who in making the composite pleture from separate photographs at the time the bridge was opened could not have known that the Empress would ever visit the port "down under". Captioned "Splendid Empire Achievements" the picture showed the greatest single-span bridge ever built within the Empire and the ocean liner which, launched a year previously was, at the time, the largest shilp built in the Empire since the war. Now comes the announcement that the Empress of Britain will visit Sydney during her 1937 Round-the-World Cruise, and with it the realisation that, when the ship is there next April, at least one editor's dream will have come true.

Not only Sydney will be visited while the big white liner is in the Antipodes; she will lao take her cruise members ta Melbourne and to the New Zealand ports of Wellington und Auck- land. Her cruise starls, from New York January 8 ond will end there on May 10. Until hending for Australia she will follow the usual world cruise course,-Madeira, Gibraltar, Algiers, Naples, Athens, Palestine, Egypt, India, Ceylon, the Straits Settlements. Leaving New Zealand ske will go to the Fiji Isinnds, also new territory for her World Cruise, Honolulu, San Francisco, Los Angeles and the Panama Canal Zone,

New York, Dec. 7.

A charge against the late Mr. An- drew Mellon, former U.S. Ambassador und financier, of avolding payment of income tax, has been completely expunged by the action of the Gov- ernment in over-ruling the major portion of the Federal Income Tax Bourd's claim of $3,000,000 against the Mellon estate,
