KING GEORGE MAY COME TO
The UNITED STATES IN 1912
WILL TOUR IN CANADA AND MAY
EXTEND HIS JOURNEY.
MAY PAY THIS COUNTRY AN IN
FORMAL VISIT.

Windsor. ont. June liking George
v will visit Canada next year This is
the well authenticated statement given
out in Ottawa by Canadians who are
in close touch with British court cir
cles
It is expected that the royal visit
viii be a fairly lengthy one, with a
brief stay in each of the chief centers
of population.
The visit is expected shortly after
his return from the coronation durbar
in Delhi India.
The projected visit is thoroughly in
harmony with the we'll known imper-
ialist interests Of his majestys mind
While his father. Edward found his
chief scope in matters Of European
diplomacy, King George has both be-
fore and since his accession been moro
interested in the welding together Of
the different nations and races which
make mp the empire
Tours of the reigning sovereign to
the outlying parts OF the empire have
been under discussion ever since an
early date i'm the reign of Victoria. but
have never hitherto materialized. part
ly through disinclination of the mon
arch TO such lengthy travels, and part
ly through strong feeling prevalent
In Great Britain that the sovereign
should not absent himself from the
center of the empire for such a length
OF time. Both of these objections are
now greatly lessened.
His majesty is an excellent and de-
vouted traveller in the prime of life,
and British politicians have already
ceased TO regard Canada as a remote
and unimportant part of the British
possessions.
Nothing Is known as to whether
his majesty would cross the border
into the United States. but 1t is
strongly believed that the monarch
would utilize the occasion TO cement
the bonds Of friendship with the re-
public by means of a brief and not
very formal visit.
The duke OF Connaught will at that
time be the holder of the vice-regal
dignity i'm Canada, and the presence of
these two descendants Of queen Vic
toria will involve functions Of social
splendor unprecedented in the Domin-
ion
