AMERICAN EMPIRE
ADVOCATED BY COLONEL MCCORMICK CARVING UP THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) NEW YORK, April 20. Colonel McCormick, the publisher of the Chicago “Tribune,” told the New York newspaper “P.M.,” that he would inaugurate an editorial campaign in the next few days urging that the United States should acquire New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Scotland and Wales. He said, “Make them States like North Dakota, and then we can guarantee lhem a republican form of government. How else can you do it?” “But would not that carve up the British Empire?” inquired “P.M.” Colonel McCormick relied, “Let them worry about that. I don’t consider it is my duty to try to conserve the British Empire.” The visiting Australian Minister of External Affairs, Dr. Evatt, referring to Colonel McCormick’s statement, said “It is either a very poor joke, or sheer, puerile nonsense.”
