TO VISIT AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
(Bv Electric Telegraph—Copyright; (Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, June 9.
The Colonial Office states that thy obvious interpretation of the Duke of York's speech was that he was going to Australia, for the opening of the Parliament at Canberra and was including New Zealand in the itinerary. It was pointed out that this was not a ministerial matter but solely the King's decision. Mr Bruce's invitation did not specify any particular Prince but. requested some member of the Royal Family.
Sir James Allen's speech embraced the Duke and Duchess of York. Although the Duke of York did not mention her it is understood she is hopeful to accompany him.
