PRESS CONFERENCE
Dinner to Delegates (Received January 18, 7.15 p.m.) London, January 17. The Prince of Wales, as Master of the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspapermakers, presided at a dinner, attended by Lord Astor, to the English and Canadian delegations to the Imperial Press Conference. The Prince, sitting between Lord Astor and Mr. J. H. Thomas, Dominion Secretary, recalled Lord Rosebery’s speech when inaugurating the conference in 1910, in which he declared that a great newspaper guiding and embodying public opinion was immeasurably greater than any statesman. The Prince added amid laughter: I am sitting between a newspaper proprietor and a statesman, so I am hardly in a position to lay down the law on the matter.
