Many Problems
“Let us think for a moment about this great Commonwealth. What is this wealth which we have in common and which is so much more than our collective resources, massive though they are? “I know that life is hard for many. Other problems which face mankind often seem to defy solution.
“Some of pur Commonwealth friends overseas are grappling with difficulties unknown in a complex industrial country such as Great Britain. “There are difficulties of over-population, there is hunger, and drought and lack of power. There are yearly tens of thousands of young people flocking into schools seeking education. “I welcome the chance of hearing more about these problems when individual Ministers from the Commonwealth come to this country, and also on such special occasions as the Prime Ministers’ meetings.
“At moments like this I have the benefit, not only of getting to know some of my Prime Ministers better, but of welcoming leaders from the new nations of the Commonwealth.”
