By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright.
Cape Town, February 21
Lord Haig, accompanied by twenty exservice men delegates, representing Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, has arrived. He was accorded an enthusiastic civic welcome. I.ord Haig, in his speech, said the conference he had come to attend aimed at linking up all the ex-service men throughout the Empire, and preserving the spirit of comradeship evolved in tho Great Mar, so that the benefits for which they strove in the war should not be .thrown away. After paying a tribute to the services of the South Africans in the war, 'he said it was singularly fitting and important that tho conference of ex-ser-vice men should bo held in South Africa, where, twenty years ago, men from the overseas Dominions gave the first great proof of the, abiding solidarity of the British Commonwealth of Nations.—Reuter. 1
