THE KING'S SPEECH AT

WEMBLEY.

EMPIRE STOCKTAKING.

The King's Speech at the opening of the British Empire Exhibition at Wem- bley was as follows:

It gives me the greatest pleasure and satisfaction to come here to-day with the Queen.

1

Our heartiest congratulations are due to the Board of Management, to the Executive Council, and to all who have worked with and under them for the marvellous organisation and industry which have produced this triumphant

result.

I am well aware of the numerous ad- verse circumstances, including the excep- tionally unfavourable weather, which had to he faced. These were successfully overcome by arduous labours carried out with resolution and good will

Many who like the Queen and myself, have seen the work in the earlier stages, can appreciate to the utmost the skill and toil which have translated the magni- ficent vonception into this plendid reality that now stands before us.

I am happy to welcome the representa- tires, official and unofficial, of my Domi- nions beyond the seas; au to express the pleasure we all feel that they are taking part in tozlay's ceremony.

THE EMPIRE IN LITTLE

You have said that your object has heen to produce a picture of our common- wealth of nations. No one can doubt that. this has been fully attained The ex- hibition muy be said to reveal to us the whole Empire in little, containing within its 920 acres of ground a vivid model of the architecture, art, and industry of all the races which come under the British Flag. It represents to the world a graphic illustration of that spirit of free and tolerant co-operation which his in-1 spired peoples of different races, creeds, institutions, and ways of thought to unite in a single commonwealth and, to con tribute their varying national gifts to one great end.

This exhibition will enable us to take stock of the resources, actual and poten." tial, of the Empire, as a whole; ta eon- sider where these exist and how they can beat he developed and utilised; to take counsel together how the peoples can en-operate to supply one another's needs and to promote, national well-being. It stands for a co-onlination of our scienti- fic knowledge and a common effort to overcome disease and to better the diff ent conditions which still surround life in many parts of the Empire. Think for example of the scientific work accomplish- ed in recent years for the provention and treatment of tropical diseases! And it is easy to imagine how greatly the exs hibition can contribute towards the pro- greas of our tropical territories and the development of the yet unexplored capaci ties of the Empire,

THE 1831 EXBIDITION.

Our thoughts go back to the Great Exhibition of jent-associated for all time with the memories of Queen Victoria awi of the Prince Consort-and to the bril liant hopes of the growth of international peace and friendship with which it was inaugurated. On object here is not quite so diabitious, and for that very reason perhaps more hopeful of attainment

We believe that this exhibition will bring the peoples of the Empire to a hetter knowledge of how to meet their reciprocal wants and aspirations; and that, where brotherly feeling and the babit of united action already exist, the growth of inter-Imperial trade will make the bonds of sympathy yet closer) and stronger.

Business relations between strangers may or may not lead to friendship;"co- operation between brothers for the better development of the family estate an hardly fail to promote family affection.

And we hope further that the success
