Editor's Vision To Be Realized on World Cruise The above picture showing the Empress of Britain and Syd-' ney's great harbor bridge represents the dream of an Australian editor, who in making the composite picture from separate photographs at the time the bridge was opened could not have known that the Empress would ever visit the port "down under". Captioned "Splendid Empire Achievements" the picture showed the greatest single-span bridge ever built within the Empire and the ocean liner which, launched a year previously was, at the time, the largest ship built In the Empire since the war. Now comes the announcement that the Empress of Britain will visit Sydney during her 1937 Round-the-World Cruise, and with it the realization that, when the ship is there next April, at least one editor's dream will have come true. Not only Sydney will be visited while the big white liner is in the Antipodes; she will also take her cruise members to Melbourne and to the New Zealand ports of Wellington and Auckland. Her cruise starts from New York January 8 and will end there on May 16. Until heading for Australia she will follow the usual world cruise course, -- Madeira, Gibraltar, Algiers, Naples, Athens, Palestine, Egypt, India, Ceylon, the Straits Settlements, Siam and Kong Kong. Leaving New Zealand she will go to the Fiji Islands, also new territory for her World Cruise, Honolulu, San Francisco, Los Angeles and the Panama Canal Zone.
