Brief Stay in Sydney
QUEEN SALOTE, of Tonga, is due in Sydney on August 22 on the Orient liner Orontes.
While in Australia, she will be the guest of the Australian Govern ment. She will be in Sydney only three or four days, however, before leaving by air on her return home, to Nukualofa.
The Tongan monarch has been received abroad with demonstra tions of friendship and admiration, not only in the United Kingdom, but also in Europe, where she made a limited tour. She joined the Orontes in Naples; and the liner is according her the usual acknowledgments to her rank, and flying her Tongan flag on all formal occasions.
An effort is being made to organise a semi-public luncheon for Queen Salote, in Sydney, but it is feared that her short stay in the NSW capital will not permit of this.
