WORLD TOUR ENDED
GENERAL UNREST ABROAD
An extended lour of the world was completed on Saturday by Mr. and Mrs. ,|. A. t'eacock, of Auckland. Their travels coincided with a series ol important events in many parts of the. world and there were evidences of unrest in almost every country visited, except in Britain. While Mr. and Mrs. Peacock were in the United States- the “New Deal ’ was being attacked. In Spain, fear of riots at election time resulted in the visitors being advised to curtail their stay, and in both .lapaii and China there were indications of unrest. The only quiet country was Britain, and there Ihe shock of King George’s death had affected Ihe whole nation. The Royal funeral was described by Mr. Peacock as tin* most impressive sight of the whole trip. Although troublous limes were being experienced in many of the countries they visited they saw no actual strife, he added. In Yokohama martial law had been declared following the recent assassinations, but this did not interfere with their tour. In Pekin, where they spent, a week, alarm was felt al the possibility of Japanese invasion and many ot the 'ancient treasures of the city were being transferred to Nanking.
