LAST LINK OF EMPIRE.
The crown is now the last link of Empire, writes Mr William Courtenay in his book, " Airman Friday. " The loosening of political ties with Whitehall; the Statute of Westminster; the assertion and rccognition of complete solf-government in all the Dominions has paradoxically, instead of drawing our people further apart, brought them nearer together. Tho magnet is the Monarch. The majesty, the might, the panoply, tho splendour and fho glorious history of the Englisk Crown which has endured for a thousand years in England while crowns and thrones have perished all round, is the niystic, spirltual link between us all.
