Royal Tour
Still Dominates Everything
FROM H. KING WOOD
Sydney, Mar. 19.
By now only a little more than a fortnight of the Royal Visit remains. By the time you people read this the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will be in South Australia, then the West and the Gothic will sail on April 1.
The visit, of course, has been successful beyond all hopes, and already there is an authentic ring about the statement that the Queen already has made plans to return in eight years. It can be taken for granted that the Duke will be back in 1956 for the Olympic Games, so all in all, while we may have had our failings as far as organisa- tory son, Donald, but, per- tion is concerned, things can't have been too bad.
But the letter they longed tor, from their son, never came.

Geneva Talks Success "Vitally Important”
London, Mar. 24.
Lord Salisbury, speaking for the Government in the House of Lords, said today that it was of "vital importance” that next month's Geneva conference on Korea and Indo-China should succeed.
Success would depend above all on the attitude adopted by Russia and China, he told the House of Lords in a debate on British foreign policy.
