but with a genuine desire to assist in the development of the Colony's amenities, I would suggest that the King's Memorial Plan, be taken as

basis on which to build. year by year, a Playing Fields' Foundation which would function in such a nanner that our increasing social problems might be increasingly minimised by the reclaiming of Portions of slum areas for open spaces for the mass of the people.

It will not be denied that the Colony has a very unwholesome legacy of slumdom where disease and vice are rampant. Scientifle investigation has proved that the more congested the population the greater the incidence of disease and vice. Surely there are suffi- cient public-spirited men and wo- men in the Colony to take advan- tage of this splendid plan for the King's Memorial by forming an organisation which might well be called The King George Playing Fields Foundation to promote the acquisition of public arenas in the

MONARCH deplorably congested areas here.

Memorials to monarchs have for many centuries followed precedent, with the result that

the form of the nation's memorial to a beloved Ruler was decided there. In other parts of the Empire, however, the form that the memorial should take has not been decided so easily or ex- peditiously. Some insist upon clinging to precedent, and crowd- ed cities will be still further crowded with statues which will doubtless gain in formality what they lack in sentiment.
