ARGENTINE STUDENTS
TOUR OF ENGLAND. VISIT TO HOUSE OF COMMONS. (Omclal wireless.) RUGBY, June 9. The Argentine University delegation now touring England visited the House of Commons to-day. A speech of welcome in Spanish was delivered by Mr Harold Mitchell, Parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Overseas Trade. Later, at a luncheon given in honour of the visitors, vMr Mitchell referred to the deep friendship between Britain and Argentina, which had remained unimpaired since it began 100 years ago. To-day Argentina and the United Kingdom were in remarkably close economic relations and it was pleasant to think that this country now provided Argentina with a market for those products which her own countrymen had done so much to create. He hoped that as the result of their visit the delegates would carry with them a wider idea of Britain’s efforts and achievements in spheres oilier than economic—in the world of medicine, law, science, literature and politics.
