EX-SERVICEMEN
PROPOSED CONFERENCE
(United Press Association—By Electrw Telegraph—Copyright).
(Received this day at 11.45,am.) LONDON, November 14
Owing to a lack of details there -is a disinclination to comment on the Australian ex-servicemen’s idea of an Em■pire conference of ex-servicemen at Melbourne.
Sir lan Hamilton, however, says: i“No other organisation in Australia could speak the cause of peace with so much weight‘as the -Anzacs and Diggers,; who themselves fought and suffered. If; ’we lose the. opportunity of homing together at ’the Melbourne celebration it is nothing short of a tragedy.” ‘Captain Donald Simson, of the British Empire Service League, emphasised that' if returned soldiers were not behind the movement 'it would not win the support of British and Canadian organisations. A possible conjecture is that a 'biennial conference of the B.E.S. League, fixed . .for Melbourne ill 1935, should be held a year sooner, but his Organisation is in the dark.
