The speeches of the Prince of Wales and Sir Philip Cunliffe- Lister, President of the Board of Trade, were broadcast from Daven-, try.

Lord Esthermore's Letter. Lord Rothermere, who was kept away by a severe cold, wrote:-

Sir William Jackson Pope, the "Travelling constantly about the world as I do, I have had ample Prime Warden of the Worshipful opportunities of seeing at first Eard Company of Goldsmiths, on behalf how profoundly the seamen on all of that ancient guld, presented a the Seven Seas have been inspired piece of gold plate for the adorn by the knowledge that the Heirment of the future hall of the to the Throne, is, once again, show Master Mariners' Company, ing his direct and practical interest! in their welfare. The example of hia Royal Highness has, from my own personal knowledge, given tre- mendous encouragement to the men in the Merchant Service and will, I am convinced, prove of the ut most value in drawing into the Merchant Service men of the same magnificent type that has made the our British Bag the glory of country.

The Prince of Wales, accepting the gi, said-It-iye very great privilege, as Master of this honour. able Company, to accept this piece of plate, most gagously given by the Goldsmiths' Company-of-which I am a member, to this, the newest of the Livery Companies of the great City. We appreciate this gift very much indeed, and the kind thought which prompted it, the trouble they have taken to give us a send off as the youngest amongst so many Companies that have tradi- tions which go back a very great many more years than we have. Mr. Prime Warden, we thank you very aircerely indeed for your very kind gift.

The Prince's Speech. The Prince of Wales, on rising to reply, was greeted with rounds of cheers. He said:-

It is with great difidence, but with very great pride, that I rise to-night to speak and to reply to this toast as Master of this Com pany of master craftsmen of the aca. I am speaking to an audience largely composed of those who have sailed before the mast, and who have had to rough it under condi tops very much worse and very much more strenuous than I even had I stayed in the Navy, could ever possibly have known. My dr perience of the sea Service is very limited, I am afraid, but what I saw of the sea Service I enjoyed very much. Nobody was more sorry to leave the Royal Navy than I was. That was very nearly 20 years back, Even then, could I have carried on, I should not have been more cap able, more experienced, more able to fill this very high position with you as the youngest company of the City of London, the youngest company of craftsmen, than any you could have chosen. I am very ap preciative that you, should have done this three years ago. (Cheers.) I am heartened a little to-night by message I have received from the Prime Minister.
