VALEDICTORY TRIBUTES
TO OVERSEAS CITIZEN SOLDIERY.
London, August 16. Speaking at a luncheon to Senator Pearce, Major-General Hobbs, Lieuten-ant-Colonel Wisdom (W.A.), General Sir John Monash, Major-General Rosenthal, and Bishop Riley (Perth) on the eve of their return to Australia. Colonel Amery, Parliamentary Secretary to the Colonial Office, eulogised tho citizen soldiery of the Dominions. Their quailties, lie said, were largely attributable to British migration. The more the Dominions were strengthened by migration, he said, the moro the Empiro would be militarily strengthened. In the same way, each emigrant to the Dominions was twenty times moro value to Britain economically than an emigrant to America. Tho migration of ex-servioc men to tho Dominions would increase tho population of tho outer Empire. This was important from the point of view of defence. Australia, alongside tho teeming millions of Asia, was conjointly respensiblo with Canada and South Africa to defend the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It was impossible to defend the Empiro from Britain.—Aus.-N.Z. Cablo Assn.
