British Subjects Do Not Change Nationality Within The Empire
Major A. E Belcher of London told the Canadian Club in Vancouver that movement within the empire is migration not immigration or emigration and that British subjects remain British anywhere in the empire. He urged unity ahead of a 1924 London exhibition of Britain’s products and noted dominions cannot rely on Britain for all farm labor. He cited a West Australian dairy farmer who was once a tram conductor and said the Prince of Wales is actively involved in the exhibition committee.
