VANCOUVER, July 23. “The British Empire represent an effort to unite, for a common purpose, the races of the world, whose people are of different creed, colour and traditions.” Premier Bavin, of New South Wales said when addressing the Canadian Club on Tuesday evening. “It is an effort to combine two ap-> parently contradictory ideas—an idea of perfect individual liberty, unitedto a single Empire purpose for- the good of the Empire; and in that world we who compose the nations of' . the Empire can live a fuller and more effective life as members of the Empire than we could if out of it.” The problem common to nations of the Empire is the necessity for a, more, efficient defence system, with a more equitable division of the. cost. The formulation of a real and effective. Ehipire policy was one of the great needs; and to promote the formnlation of such a policy, Mr Bavin suggested the more frequent and e,.e ive consultations among representativeof different parts of the Empire.
