SIMPRESSIONS OF ROYAL TOUR
LONDON, June 24 (BWS)-In. his speech at Guildhall yester- day the King gave some of the Impressions left upon his mind by his and the Queen's great Journey through Canada, the United States and Newfound- land.
Foremost of these was the fact enshrined in the phrase of a North American historian; "Over all nations is humanity.” Human feeling was still the most potent of all forces af- "fecting world affairs.
The King said he had been deep- ly impressed by anding the great British political testament of a Magna Carta an object of keen public interest in the World's Fair at New York.
In his reception in Canada, His Majesty claimed to have detected the Influence of those free institu- tions and that faith in liberty and justice which the Dominion Had inherited from the mother country.
