AFRICA HOUSE
“MONUMENT TO CONCORD AND AMITY.” OPENED BY KING GEORGE, British Official Wireless RUGBY, June 22. The King, accompanied by the Queen, with General Smuts as Minister in attendance, to-day opened the 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 reach the ends of the world in the same instant that they are spoken. No Dominion, 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. ,
The South Africa House, the King described as a “monument to concord and amity.”
