NATIONAL MEMORIAL
TO LATE KING EDWARD
Special Cable to The Trlbune.


LONDON, Juno lS.-AIready many poo
pic are beginning to ask what would be
the best form for the national memorial
To King Edward to take. That such q
memorial will be erected is regarded as
certain, and ii is equally certain that
the members of the late kings family will
look with considerable distaste upon any
proposal to erect costly monuments OF
stone and bronze. The memorial that
the late king would have liked best
would undoubtedly have been TO see the
London hospitals placed upon a satisfac-
tory financial footing; and when tho
proper time arrives ii Is understood that
King George will suggest that. Instead OF
very large sums being spent upon statues
and other memorials TO the late king.
an energetic effort shall be made to com
plcte the work begun by the King Ed
ward hospital fund to relieve the hospi-
tails OF the United Kingdom from tho
load OF debt that is now burdaning them.
OF course il is inevitable that many
towns and cities OF the empire will de-
sire to erect statues to the late king, but
King George will suggest that as little
money possible shall be spent In this
direction
