Oct.

praises
the

firm
attitude,

The

says
‘‘five sovereigns

London,
Oct. 31st.—The
“'Times’ in
a
loading editorial
on the question
of
Brit-
ish productions
being
exclusively used
at
the British Empire exhibition, which will
b 2 held
in
1924,
says
that
the object
lesson
of a self-supporting
Empire should
ba
desirsble enough
to justify a
special
effort
to
seeure
its
achievement.
The
existence
of difficulties in
the matter
of
confining
the production
at
the
exhibi
tion
to those
of
the
Empire
cannot
be
dispated,
but it
suggests
that
with
co-
operation
and
goodwill
on the
part of ali
concerned,
most,
if
not all, of the
difii-
ciltiescan
be overcome.
The dominions,

will
now
have
in
their
hands
to
make good any imperfections,
which

ral, ard
the brains
of the
German
army
in the late
war,
displayed
oreat
bitter-
ness
toward
America.
‘‘You Americans
entered
the
war for gold,’’ he
said;
‘‘we
Germans
fought
for
the
supremacy
of
our race.””
German
Amecricans,
he
de-
declared,

of the lot.
Stat-
ing that Le cculd

he declared
that
Ger-
many
had
been abominably
treated
‘“‘but
there

of reckoning.’’
That
‘‘loathsome
government’>
up
at
Berlin, he said,
was
made
up
of
bolshe-

and
Jews.
He
further
declared
that
Jews
are
at

in

and
that
America
is their breeding
centre.
‘‘The

"‘will have

The British empire,

giving Ire’anl her

England

His message
