THE
ENGLISH-SPEAKING WORLD.
BY EVELYN WRENCH.
TWO passages from the Prime Minister's speech, when he opened the Empire Press Club at Wembley last week, are deserving of quotation. In referring to the need of an efficient Empire wireless service, he said, " I know how necessary it is. It is the next great step we have to take in the development of our Imperial com- munication, which must be efficient and cheap." The Prime Minister then referred to the forthcoming Naval review at Spithead this summer, and remarked that it would furnish evidence of the extraordinary " quiet, massive service that is the British Navy." He then continued : " But there is an even greater strength that we have to call to our aid—the strength that exists in a capacity to govern, a genius for freedom, a great intellectual and moral power, a singleness of purpose and idealism with which we clothe our Imperial life."
