Mr. King describes the coronation, the monarchy, the Commonwealth, the Imperial conference, his trip, his impressions of Europe and finally, the necessity of peace for Canada. He discusses the coronation, the evolution of the crown and the new King. The Commonwealth and the Imperial conference are discussed - what they are and what the latter in particular does. He continues with the conference, describing some of its resolutions such as non-aggression, disarmament and international trade. The Commonwealth is described as an example for the peaceful co-existence of nations. His visits to France, Germany and Belgium are outlined next and his talks with their leaders. He talks about the terribleness of war, the necessity of peace and the fact that none of the people or leaders of Europe want war. He then begins to discuss the advantages of Canada. <40mn>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
