KING EDWARD
STATUE UNVEILED IN LONDON WORK OF CONCILIATION NOT WASTED By Telegraph—Press Association—Conyright London, July 20. The King unveiled in Waterloo Place the statue of King Edward. Seated on a charger, in the full dress uniform of a fiield marshal, tho statue is twenty-nine feet high. The King, in tho course of his speech, said: "To-day’s ceremony gathers about it ono great association. My father was, above all, a great lover of peace. During tho years of his reign, it wag his constant aim to promote friendship and hotter understanding between nations. His work of conciliation has not been wasted. AVo owe it largely to his influence that the great conflagration, when it broke out, found that we were not an isolated nation. But with the old intentions forgotten, ancient quarrels healed, and united bonds of close friendship with our former rivals, the war which seemed to mark the negation of his efforts may- prove a purification of the thoughts and minds of men. and the forerunner of that good-will between, nations which King Edward desired and laboured to create." —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
