EMPIRE "CITY OF YOUTH" TO BE BUILT IN LONDON
London, To-day. A million-pound scheme to create a "city of youth" in London, which will be the centre point for all Empire youth organisations, has been an- nounced.
It is the outcome of the Empire Youth Rally held in

The Crystal Palace is proposed as the site.
