There can be no doubt that our. earth arose from the sun, and a good case can be made for the theory that it arose as one of the knots on the arms of a huge twist- ed nebula. The other knots be- came the other planets, and per- hups the earth knot was a double one, Including the moon from the first. It is possible that the nebulous arms'

Sir Leslie Wilson referred to the Aga Khan's record of loyal, en personal friendship with the| Royal House, and the great in- fluence he exercised in promoting the peace of the world and the: welfare of India.
