  • Story Text: DR. HASTINGS BANDA, PRIME MINISTER OF THE NEW STATE OF MALAWI, ARRIVED AT LONDON AIRPORT THIS MORNING (THURSDAY), ON HIS WAY TO TAKE PART IN THE COMMONWEALTH CONFERENCE WHICH OPENED YESTERDAY (WEDNESDAY).

    DR. BANDA'S LATE ARRIVAL IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE HAS BEEN TAKING PART IN HIS COUNTRY'S INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATIONS.

    TODAY THE CONFERENCE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ON FROM ITS CONSIDERATION OF THE WORLD SITUATION TO A REPORT ON PROGRESS OF BRITISH COLONIAL TERRITORIES TOWARDS INDEPENDENCE AND MEMBERSHIP OF THE COMMONWEALTH. UNDER THIS HEADING SOUTHERN RHODESIA AND BRITISH GUIANA ARE ALMOST SURE TO BE DISCUSSED.

    WITH DR. BANDA'S ARRIVAL, THE TOTAL NUMBER OF COMMONWEALTH LEADERS AROUND THE CONFERENCE TABLE IN MARLBOROUGH HOUSE, INCREASES TO EIGHTEEN.
