The members from home of the Imperial Press Confer- ence

sail on Saturday, the 11th, for Australia. Every Briton who makes that journey to or fro can be in some degree an ambassador of the Empire, but there is vastly more power and responsibility when the traveller can and will put his views on paper to be read by thousands. This is, therefore, an embassage capable of doing an immense amount of good. Not least we hope that their persuasive powers, confirmed by knowledge gained on the spot, will eventually lead to more vigorous emigration of men and of women from this island to the larger one. As fellow journalists we earnestly bid God-speed to Sir Harry Brittain, Major Astor and all their company.
