The most remarkable exhibition was an attack on a dummysubmarine in the centre of the field. by a flight of five snipe fighter planes from No. 25 (Fighter) Squadron, which flew over from I-I:1rkings._near Folkestone. The attack was one of a nature much used during: the great war not only against `submarines, but in low altitude'attacks on infantry, cavalry, artillery and forti- fied points. Both bombs oflight cal- ibre and machine mans are employed and the aircraft attack. from different directions which makes adequate ide- fence very difficult. The visitors were told that this type of attack "has a. highly demoralizing effec on troops." and after seeing, the high er- centage of -hits made during the at- tack on the dummy sub" one could imagine it would be demoralizing to an enemy of any kind. The bombs showered down on the sub. exploded with clouds of white smoke which clearly showed their positions either on or close around the target. The attacking planes swooped down so near the ground at times that -one feared for their safety, but the skill of the aviators was beyond praise or criticism---in fact beyond the imagina- tion of the visitors who could not have -believed` it possible to accomplish the extraordinary feats and evolutions demonstrated for our benefit. and which were capped by a displayof "crazy flying" by Flying Officer Les lie Hamilton on an Avro."

' After luncheon. which was served in a large marquee, Major Astor formally welcomed the guests, saying. that they had. no doubt. discovered that they were honoured and very welcome guests throughout the country. He could assure them that there was no home in England in which they were more welcome than I-Iever Castle and for several reasons. in Canada as a child when her father was the Governor-General. and he could tell them that her Canadian memories counted a great deal with her: and then he had the honour to be closely connectedwith a well-known journal." Referring to `Imperial af- fairs he said that he. as heexpected all of those present had done, had welcomed thevmodern development of the old Imperial. ideal, and" in their new conception of Empire as a com- munity of free yet interdependent na- tions. they could find. he thought, a nobler and truer inspiration than in any other of the Imperial destiny of their race. It was certainly his own ambition that The Times" should be . a trusty and vigilant guardian of that ideal.

On approaching the castle, the eyes of the visitors were enraptured by its mediaeval beauty, its turrets, battlements. outer and inner courts, drawbridgeand outer and in- ner moats, and above all its wonderful gardens. and lawns.

In Hever Castle are preserved not only a marvellous Hol- bein painting of King Henry, but also his bedroom with its furnishings in- tact. andpthat of Anne of Cleves. The Canadians were` permitted ` to stroll through many of the rooms, inspecting and marvelling at the old baronial furnishings, the fine portrait of Queen Elizabeth. the armour,- the prayer book of Anne Boleyn, Martin Luther's Bible. and Queen Mary's-ivory casket with the Darnley letters.

For that reasonl he would leave the speech of welcome| in the abler hands of another.

It was the same sort of thing as if a Western Canadian spoke well of him (Lord Beaverbrook . ) (Laughter. ) That Frenchman was M. Clemenceau. Lloyd George had said to Bonar Law that Gladstone was `a great man. Bonar Law_ replied that Gladstone was a a great humbug. M. Clemenceau put his arm affectionately round Lloyd George and said. All great men are great humbugs." (Laughter.) vWhat a pity," reflected Lord Beaverbrook. that all great humbugs are not great men. (Renewed laughter.)

We were furnished with considerable technical andoffieial in- formation by officers with whom'we watched this and other demonstrations, and were told that formations are usually made up of units of three machines, which are employed in forms ations of one. three and five. though occasionally other units employingtour or five aeroplanes are used. These formations afford mutual protection against attacking aircraft. and at the same. time permit convenient concen- tration for attack.

Canada was, in many re- spects, comparable with Scotland, and `I if it were populated at the same rate l 1 as Scotland they would have a popu- lation of 600,000,000._ Australia was capable of a population at least fifty times aslgreat as that which now lined its fertile shores. New Zealand, South Africa, Newfoundland, they could all maintain incredibly more numerous populations than anything they had today. a The prospect in front of the British` Empire staggered the imagin- ation. It was not a dream-it was a purely arithmetical - calculation. But to realize all these possibilities one must also study andcomprehend thor-` oughly. not merely its capabilities, but its limitations and dangers. These consisted" in the immense distances` which had to be tra- versed by the bonds of union, in the variety of its races, creeds, traditions, and interests. The task of the `true believer in the policy of consolidation wa.s to assist in minimising all these difficulties so'as to knit the Empire more closely together. But we must first of all recognize the dif- ficulties without reference to prejudices or.predilections. In reference to this aspect, he wanted to make an earnest - appeal to all true friends of _the Brit- ish Empire everywhere . He was a. profound believer. in the British Empire for what . it now was. and for what it might become. for what it had done, and for the greater things it was capable of accomplishing. I .
