the people Of the greatest city in her em-

they believe have transformed the CAM
paign in South Africa from one OF reverse
into one of success. That is the only ex-
PLANTATION of the unbsunded. the unparal-

thousands hailed their sovereign. In
many ways these demonstrations outdid
those OF the diamond jubiee--although
there were no glittering pageants, no
