SOUTH AFRICAN TOUR
EMPIRE PRESS CONFERENCE. ZU L U TRIBES ’ DA NC E. DURBAN, March 9. Since leaving Johannesburg the Press delegates visited Bloemtontein, Westminster, Ladysmith and the battlefields of Pietermaritzburg, where the tribes of Zuhiland came especially io give war dances directed by one of lhe big chiefs. These performances are iow fairly rare. At a dinner given in Durban by lhe •ress, Sir Stanley Jackson, Great Britain, warned that sharks abroad were awaiting any parties in 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 was 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 in even greater things. The delegates leave Durban on Tuesday for the remaining stages of the Lour.
