Sixth Commonwealth Mining and Metallurgical Congress

Mr. President, Mr. Mayor, Ladies & Gentlemen: IT GIVES ME great pleasure to have the opportunity, today, to speak on behalf of all the constituent. bodies of the Common-wealth Council of Mining and Metallurgical Institutions. For the past month we delegates have been right royally entertained across the length and breadth of Canada by Provincial Governments, City Councils, and other equally generous public organizations and private corporations. On this occasion, however, the President of The Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, our good friend Dr. H. J. Fraser, has been our host at the enjoyable reception preceding this Institute Luncheon, which luncheon was sponsored by our official host, The Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, one of our .constituent bodies.
