MISSION FROM ARGENTINA
DELEGATION TO BRITAIN. WELCOME IN SPANISH. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, June 9. The Argentine university delegation now touring England visited the House of Commons to-day and a speech of welcome in Spanish was delivered by Mr Harold Mitchell, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Overseas Trade.
Later, at a luncheon in their honour, Mr Mitchell referred to the friendship with Argentina, which had remained unimpaired since it began 100 years ago. To-day Argentina and the United Kingdom were in remarkably close economic relations, and it was pleasant to think that England now provided Argentina with a market for those products which Englishmen had done so much to create. Mr Mitchell hoped that as a result of the students’ visit they would carry with them a wider idea of Britain’s efforts and achievements in _ spheres other than economic—in medicine, law, science, literature and politics.
