Address to both Houses of British Parliament, during the visit for the meeting of Commonwealth Prime Ministers. This is only the second time a Dominion Prime Minister has addressed a joint session (Jan C. Smuts, the 1st in 1942). The announcer describes the scene in 'undiscolsed' place of meeting. Churchill introduces Mackenzie King.~Churchill says: "We are met here today to give a hearty welcome to Mr. Mackenzie King ... when crisis comes for the world, Canada will never fail in its duty". Mackenzie says: "When I received from your Prime Minister the invitation to address members of both houses of parliament of the United Kingdom, I found myself at a loss for words in which to acknowledge so high an honour ... no memory of happiness in the past is more cherished than the recollection of the visit of their Majesties the King and Queen ... it is our greatest pride ... that when for so long a time you alone bore the brunt of the attack we stood with you in arms against the might of Nazi Germany".~Mackenzie King's speech is followed by comments by Churchill, Viscount Simon (the Lord Chancellor), and the Speaker, D. Clifton-Brown. Music fill follows. <1h 35mn>
