EMPIRE PRESS CONFERENCE
D ELEGATES' MOVEMENTS (Received March 10, 7 p.m.) DURBAN, March 9. Since leaving Johannesburg the delegates to the Empire Press .Union Conference have visited Bloemfontein, the Westminster and Ladysmith battlefields, and Pietermaritzburg, where the tribes of Zululand came specially to give war dances directed by one of the big chiefs. These performances are now fairly rare. At a dinner given by the Durban Press Sir Stanley Jackson (England) gave a warning that sharks were abroad waiting for any of the parties of the British Commonwealth who stepped out of the common boat. The eyes of some of the sharks were enviously watching South Africa. Mr Delamore McCay (Australia) likened South Africa to a giraffe which had grown a little too quickly and was a little awkward, but the sons and daughters of the country inherited the traditions of two great races. The future of the country lay not in gold or crops, or material things but in even greater things. The delegates leave Durban on Tuesday on the remaining stages of their tour. ,
