CITY OF SYDNEY
HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY MESSAGE FROM THE KING. FULL CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) SYDNEY, July 21. Full confidence in the future was expressed in a message from the King read at a special meeting of the city council, which commemorated the hundredth anniversary of the declaration of the town of Sydney as a city. The Governor, Lord Wakehurst, read the King’s message, which said: “I know the people of Sydney will face the dangers and difficulties of these times with that fortitude and devotion to duty which inspired their forbears in the creation of their fine city.” The Prime Minister, Mr Curtin, said that the men who went to vote 100 years ago performed the act of associated citizenship from which everything Australia was fighting for today was derived —the inherent right of man to be himself and to associate with his fellows freely and in dignity and order, so that law and not mere violence should be the measure of one man’s relationship to another.
