' Where Three Empires Meet'
Sir Frederick Whyte , K.C.S.I.
Not since he gave his introductory talk in this series some two months ago has Sir Frederick Whyte appeared alone at the microphone. This evening he will do so to examine the colonial interests of three European powers in the westernmost corner of the Pacific-namely Great Britain, France, and Holland. The recent events on the island of Hainan will add point to Sir Frederick's talk.
