Speaking ol the establishment of separate diplomatic missions in Washington by the Irish Free State, Canada and South Africa, he said: "I know there were plenty of the Imperial conference of 1926 establishing complete indepen dence In home and external affairs of various self-governing members of the Empire, trure w?re persons who would have liked to put spokes . In the wheel. There are those in this country who have not realized that George V Is on the throne and not George III. To me, frankly, the establishment of this community of free states legations seemed but the logical evolution of the most marvellous political organization the world has ever seen built not on centralized force but on decentralized good will and mutual understanding. "Never from the arrival of the first Dominion minister, to my departure was there a shadow of misunderstanding between the Irish Legation, the Canadian Legation, the South Africa Legation and the British Embassy. We have all scrupulous: inspected each other's independence, we all co-operated in the common interest wherever that was neded. If we differed it was al ways a friendly difference of op- mion. to my Dominion colleagues. one and all, therefore, I owe the most hearty thanks. But because there were so many more common interests with the Canadian Legation, we at the Embassy were in the most constant and closest touch with the Canadian Minister and his staff. Mr. Vincent Massey and I became almost brothers and the last house I slept In In Washington was the Canadian Legation. Mr. and Mrs. Massey being always the kindest and most thoughtful hosts asked us to be their guests during the last few days of our stay while the Embassy was being dismantled. "At the last indeed I wondered how we could ever have carried on is long as we did in Washington )efore a Canadian Legation was 1et up to look after Canadian af- developing country of ten million inhabitants having a frontier of 3.000 miles in length conterminous with the one to which I was accredited, and yet without any direct permanent link with that country. When I look back on the situation now, it makes my hair stand on end at the responsibility of the position and the thousand and one chances of serious misunderstanding that could have arls- en, The fact is no other solution la .ywwic possible.1 . 1 ' (Continued on page five.)
