Victoria. B. c., May 30.-(AP)-
The ears of the British Empire were
attuned to this British city at the far
western end of Canada today be-
cause the King-Emperor George vi
was to make his fourth public ut
terance of his North American tour:
Queen Elizabeth has captlvated
the hearts of Canada by her charm,
but the king has made significant
statements at Quebec, at Ottawa and
at his Empire Day Broadcast from
Winnipeg. Each speech broke pre-
cedence in the frankness with which
the British sovereign discussed Brit
ish relations with the United States.
Today's address was expected to
contain at least one important refer
ence to international affairs.
With every word and gesture OF
the king and queen assuming i'm
portance, significance already has
been attached to the fact that yes
terday King George wore for the
first time in North America his uni
form as chief of the British air force.
