Rt. Hon. Air Leopold Amcry explained why he, instead of Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas (Dominions Secretary) | proposed the toast of the Chairman, Air Dewater, at the. South A l'ican Dinner to General Hertzog, Messrs ITavenga and Fourie (South African Ministers), at which Prince George was present. Air Amery said that he had just received a pencil note. signed “Jimmy”, and reading as follows: “Dear old hoy! Do get mo out of a black hole. You know. I take a free dinner anywhere at tlie call of duty. It isn’t the Conference that keeps me away. They’ll stand another of my after-dinner speeches without busting up the Conference; but the last time that I went to South Africa, mv colleagues got into an expurgated mess. If I attended this dinner, I fear that they would do something that would put you in my place at breakfast. You love our country too well. There, say what I think about Tewater. I’ll look after Ramsay and Phillip.”
