COMMISSIONER'S BANQUET
BRITAIN NOT A. BACK NUMBER
(Received Last Night, 9.35 o'clock.) LONDON, February 20/
The attendance at a banquet given by Sir J. W. Taverner, High Commissioner for Victoria, numbered 250, and included the Hon Hall Jones, Sir J. G. Ward, Bart., and the Hon T. Mackenzie, X'.Z. High Commissioner.
The Right Hon. A .Emnntt stated that there were no signs of British enterprise being dead. The Mother Country was not yet a back number. The habit of cra-bbing Old England tended to arouse the disrespect of the daughter nations. Britain received with real emotions the recent offers of help to bear the burdens of defence, which were magnificently glorious.
