Mr. Attlee, moving in tlie House of Commons the customary address to His Majesty the King on the oecasion of 'his South African tour, said that Britaih would feel his absence, but all realised the value of the Royai presenee among the people of other parts of the British Commonwealthv Party leaders supported the motion, which was approved with a sole dissentient, Mr. W. Gallagher (Communist), who said that South Africa was the last place for an official mission of any kind. At pre-i sent the condition of the South African negroes was even worse than America's. SUpport for the motion would ind'icate encouragement, if not endorsement, ot South Africa's defiance of United Nations on the South-west African issue. The Speaker said that Mr. Gallagher's observations had nothing to do with the motion. The South African Government was responsible for its own actions. ■ wmmm—mmm — « ■ ■ ■
