PARTS, CHAPTER II. ARRANGEMENTS FOR CONDUCT OF CONFERENCE. HIS EXCELLENCY, on the re-assembly of the Conference, said that he thought the first task of the Conference should be to send a telegram of greeting to His Majesty the King and to the rulers of the other territories represented at the Conference: he then read to the Conference a draft telgram to Their Majesties the King and Queen. The Conference unanimously approved the terms of this telegram which were as follows : — *“ Delegates of the Union of South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, British East African Dependencies, and Empire Cotton Growing Corporation now assembled for a Combined Agricultural, Cotton, Entomological, and Mycological Conference in Nairobi, submit their humble duty to H.M. the King and H.M. the Queen, and, together with the representatives of the Belgian Congo, Italian Somaliland, Mozambique, and Portuguese East Africa, desire to tender respectful greetings to Their Majesties. They trust that this Combined Conference may be of value to the people of the various territories in Africa represented.’’ His Excellency then suggested that instead of sending individual telegrams to the rulers of the other territories represented, it would be better, in accordance with the customary procedure, to ask the Secretary of State to forward telegrams of greeting to H.M. the King of Italy, H.M. the King of the Belgians, and the President of the Portuguese Republic. The Conference unanimously adopted this proposal. His Excellency made reference to the telegram from the Secretary of State to which he had referred in his Opening Speech, which was to the following effect : — “ 10th August. Request you will convey to delegates of Agricultural Conference expression of my satisfaction that so representative an assembly has been possible and my conviction that their meeting will be of the greatest value in dealing with problems on which prosperity of so many countries depends. SECRETARY OF STATE.’ Proceeding, he read to the Conference a suggested draft reply, as follows : — “ The delegates of the Agricultural Conference now assembled in Nairobi tender their thanks for your telegram of good wishes and unanimously desire to express their appreciation of your assistance in bringing together so representative a gathering. They hope that their labours may benefit the peoples and enlarge the agricultural production of all the countries from which they come.” The Conference unanimously agreed on the terms of this reply. His Excellency, continuing, said that he had a few suggestions to put forward as regards the arrangements to be made for the conduct of the Conference. 8
