KING TALKS TO HIS EMPIRE

MILLIONS LISTEN TO BROADCAST

MESSAGE OF HOPE TO "MY DEAR FRIENDS"

London, Dec. 25.

The feature of the Christmas Day celebrations in Britain was His Majesty's broadcast message to the Empire to which millions of people listened with keen interest in every quarter of the globe.

Speaking from Sandringham, where most of the Royal Family was congregated for the day, the King addressed his subjects as "my dear friends."

His Majesty referred to the unforgettable tokens of loyalty and love offered to him and to the Queen on the occasion of their Silver Jubilee. He dwelt upon the personal link between him and his people, which he valued more than he could say.

To the distressed and unemployed he tendered a message of hope and cheer.

His Majesty spoke of his hopes for continuing peace in the world and the end of suspicion and fear among the nations.
