Albert Russell in an address to a public meeting in Wanganui yesterday. Anybody who had seen Their Alajesties driving in the Old Country was fortunate. He remembered attending a cup-tie final at Wembley. There were 92,000 people present when the King and Queen arrived and the spontaneous enthusiasm, the waving of handkerchiefs, the cheering and the singing of “God Have the King” impressed him tremendously. It was one of the most impressive sights ho had ever seen.
