EMPIRE PRESS
TOUR OF CONFERENCE DELEGATES United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received March 10, 6.30 p.m.) DURBAN, March 9. Since leaving Johannesburg, the press delegates have visited Bloemfontein, Westminster, Ladysmith, the battlefields, and Pietermaritzburg, where tribes of Zululand came especialljr to give war dances, directed by one of the big chiefs. These performances are now fairly rare. Future of the Empire At a dinner given by the Durban press, Sir Stanley Jackson (England) issued a warning that the sharks abroad were waiting for any parties to the British Commonwealth who stepped out of the common boat, and the eyes of some were enviously watching South Africa. Mr Delamore McCay (Australia) likened South Africa to a giraffe, which had grown a little too quickly and a little awkward, but the sons and daughters of the country had inherited the traditions of two great races. The future of the country lay not in gold, crops and material things, but even greater things. The delegates leave Durban on Tuesday for the remaining stages of the tour.
