"Worda cannot exprçsa my thoughts and feelings. I can only say that the Queen and I thank you from the depths of our hearts.

"I look back upon the past with thankfulness to God. My people and I have come through great trials and dificulties together and they are not over.”

His Majesty was grieved, he said, at the numbers of men and women still - "unemployed "and" urged all sympathy and help for them, par Heularly those who were disabled in any capacity.
