It attracted one of the largest crowds ln the city's history, not\nonly from Nelson, but from the \u00abur-\nroundlng district and from comparatively faraway point? such as Golden\nnnd Cour d'Alene.\nThe Australian band would have\nbeen equally effective in drawing a\ncrowd and ft would have been heard\nln Nelson if there had been any\nplace 1n which a performance could\nhave been staged at this time of the\nyear.\nBut where could It bo held? Not\nln the rink. At best the skating\nrink ts not an Ideal place for .such\nperformances. At this season of the-\nyear it ls impossible.\nHence, the Nelson organization which\nhad an opportunity to bring the\nAustralian band here, the band which\nmade such a huge success ln Vancouver and Calgary, had to drop the\nIdea.\nNelson needs an arena. It needs\nit for conventions, for the entertainment of convention delegates, for big\nIndoor sporting events, for badminton, for countless purposes which\nwould be for the benefit of every\nresident of Nekton.\nThe Imperial Conference\nTheoretically, Canada has a new\nstatus under the decisions of the Imperial conference with which Hon.\nW. L. Mackenzie King has returned\nWearing as a -sort of semi-triumphal\nrobe to Canada.\nActually, there is no difference in\nthe position of this Dominion or any\nother. .\nCanada for many decades has been\nfree to act as it pleased. It could\nJoin with the rest of the Empire In\nimperial affairs or not.\nBut Canada has always stood\nfoursquare with the rest of the Empire, as a mutter of common sense,\nIf nothing else, and it always will.\nBorne one has said that under the\nnew doctrine the dominions have\nfive-sixths of the advantages of the\nEmpire and that Great Britain ha*\nfive-sixths of the responsibility.\nThat Is true, but.lt ls no more true\ntoday than yesterday. If Canada\nwere attacked, where would it look\nfor aid? To the rest of the Empire.\nIf Great Britain were attacked It\nwould demand nothing of Canada,\nbut in self-protection, quite apart\nfrom blood relationship, quite apart\nfrom natural sentiment and loyalty,\nquite apart from love of British\ntraditions, what could Canada do? It\nwould Btand foursquare once more\nbeside the Mother Land, and the rest\nof the Empire.\nThere is no real change ln the situation, though the resolutions at the\nconference perhaps satisfy -some of the\ntheorists whose loyalty to the Empire\nls perhaps much greater, much more\nsincere, than they would publicly\nadmit, except in times of -stress.\nD0KE HOT TOmX VTYXB\nLONDON, Dec. 15. -\u2014 It is no secret\nthat the Prince uf Wales dresses with\nmore taste thai his brother, the Duke\nuf Tork.
