Canada's representative was the Right Honorable Sir George Foster,
Minister of Trade and Commerce, steeped in matters of State, experienced
in affairs, a keen politician and a gifted orator.
Australia selected as her representative Mr. Donald Campbell, a clever
man, well read and of varied attainments, sometime journalist, editor,
lawyer, Member of Parliament, and I don't know what else.
The Honorable Sir (then Mr.) J. R. Sinclair was New Zealand's excellent
choice. A barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of his country,
he had retired from practice but was actively engaged in various
commercial and educational concerns and was a member of the Legislative
Council of New Zealand.
South Africa's member was, first, Sir Richard Solomon, High Commissioner
for the Union of South Africa in London. He died in November, 1913, when
Sir Jan Langerman took his place. Sir Jan was an expert in mining, ex-
President of the Rand Chamber of Mines, and ex-Managing Director of the
Robinson Group, also a Member of the Legislative Assembly of South
Africa. Keen and clever in business and a polished man of the world, he
was a valuable addition to the Commission.
