After
tracing
the
growth
of
Can

as

within
the
British
Empire,
showing
how
one
after

of

powers
formerly

by
Britain

It
seemed
that
al

nothing

Mr.
Justice
Denis
Murphy.
In
a
rid
resting
a
totnt
luncheon
of
the
Women's
Canadian
Club
and
the
Rotary
Club
at
noon
yesterday,
showed
that,
more
than
ever
before,
the
Empire
had
beet
voided
into
a
solid
whole.
The
Em
ptre
never
could
have
stood
the
strain,
he
said,
unless
there
had
been
some
fundamental
Idea
behind
It.
Thte
Idea
was
the
fundament
right
of
every
British
subject
In
re
gard
to

The

tV
operated
In
the
open
and
the
whole
force
of
public
opinion
operated
to
see
that
everyone
got
justice.
Every
person
had
the
right
to
trial
by
his
fellow
citisens.
It
was
because
of
tola
feeling
of
Justice
and
security
that
the
Empire
was
stronger
than
ever
before.
He
ventured
the
opinion
that
there
would
be
no
disruption.
While
there
had
been
desires
for
changes
there
had
so
far
been
no
suggestion
by
any
of
the
nation
of
retirement
from
the
Empire
The
Judge
was
Introduced
by
Mrs
Parkin,
acting

of

George
Woodland,

had
called

to

and
formally
turned

a

Mr.

explained
that
