"HOME'S TRIBUTE AT MEMORIAL MEETING.
Britain paid her own tribute to Mr Nehru at a memorial meeting in the Albert Hall last night. The hall was crowded as Sir Alec Douglas-Home, the Prime Minister, declared that Nehru "brought to India unity out of diversity."
Tracing Nehru's eary life in England, Sir Alec said: "He thought and he spoke in English, but his heart and his emotions were deep in India's soil."
Speaking of Nehru's leadership in "the struggle against Britain," the Prime Minister said: "He was the architect of independence, yet it was he who took British demoncracy and firmly applied it to his own people."
