SOUTH AFRICA
NEW LONDON HEADQUARTERS OPENED BY TfeE KING. (British Officio- Wireless.). RUGBY, June 22. The King, accompanied by the Queen, with General Smuts as Minister in attendance, to-day opened South Africa House, the imposing new London headquarters of the dominion in Trafalgar square. In his speech the King recalled that only a few generations ago the young dominions were compelled to regard themselves as isolated. Nowadays men could reach every part of the Empire in a few days or weeks at the most, instead of after weeks and months at least, and their words could reach the ends of the world in the same instant they were spoken. No dominion and no section of the Empire now stood alone. It could call directly upon the practical experience and intimate official advice of any of its peers to discuss and deal with problems. South Africa House the King described as “ a monument to concord and amity.”
