MORE WAR GIFTS
FROM PEOPLE OF BUGANDA. AND FROM FALKLAND ISLANDS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day. 10.20 a.m.) RUGBY. July 2. Two further colonial contributions to the Empire war effort were announced today. Conveying “their fervent wish and prayers that God may carry Britain victoriously through this war" the Kabaka Government and the people of Buganda have sent a £lO.OOO gift to the Imperial Government, for war purposes. The sum of £50.000 ha« been received from the Falkland Islands as the result of an unanimous resolution of the Legislature Council. This sum will be applied for the purchase of aeroplanes and represents a substantial gift from a colony with 2.400 people, which already bears the cost of its own defence.
