Extract

“Tadpole and Taper were great friends. Neither of them ever despaired of the Commonwealth.” Disraeli—“Coningsby”.

In looking through the list of British Commonwealth Lectures one finds that the great majority deal with the work or problems of a particular country. There are few which deal with the Commonwealth as a whole, the outstanding exception being the remarkable paper on Aviation and the Development of Remote Areas given by H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh in 1954.
