BRITISH TRADITION.
DUKE OF KENT’S PRAISE. Received June 4, 12.20 p.m. LONDON, June 3. The Duke of Kent, at the Salters’ Company Banquet, acclaimed the value of tradition as epitomised in the Coronation. “In Westminster Abbey on Coronation Day I felt that tlie Twentieth Century had slipped away and that medieval England had come to li,fe. It was a great encouragement to feel, amid the unrest and difficulties and problems of life to-day, tl'.'it there was the solid tradition that had made England great. It lias become ia.sluomible to ridicule tradition and scolt at time-honoured customs. The sconeis have completely failed to understand that the real reason that okl-laslponed customs have survived is because they are probably the best,” declared the Duke. .
