DRAMATIC CMsIs
The suGden death Of the King found
England face 20 face with one Of the most
Interesting and dramatic situations in
iis rational life and political history
While London in particular has been con
tempiahng the Inauguration Of a social
seasoo whicn promised to rival in bril-.
hancy and eclat any since the second
Jubilee Uf Queen Victoria. there was
hardly a part of the empire which was not
hoping g. have the opportunity Of vel
coming some royal visitor this year.
Two Of the most note worthy instances
we're the inaugurations OF the Union
Parliament 10 South Afnoa by the Prince
and Princess OF Wales. while the Duke
~ coanHuEhs was 10 attend the national
exhibition 10 Canada. A. least one son
II the Prince Of Wales was hoping Z,
inaugurats his practical career a. a sailor
m q voyage such az his father enjoyed
years ago
The King and Queen and Prince and
PrinceasOf Wales had been contemplating
a busy social season Il is well known
that the Prince had mapped a proasaruila
~ Toyal duties which would have given
him isr greater opportunities than he
had enjoyed hitherto both Of acquiring
Bxperiencs and Of familiarizing an sec.
tens with his personality.
AnAlyzIng the outlook IN detail IL can
se stated that the number Of royal and
distinguished visitors who Intended 70
Nisit here during the summer included
uearly all tho sovereiKns ot Europe
They will come, but IL will be % a funeral
and not 10 a iets The King and the
Prince n Wales planned 10 attend mum
merable events Of a social. military and
sporting nlture. The Kings death will
cancsl an these engagements Two
courts were 20 be held IN June. but they
Will now be abandoned. because the courf
