BRITAIN STRIVES
TO QUIET INDIA
Prince Of Wales Visit To
East Expected To
Bring Results.


London, Nov. livery high and
far-reaching results are expected
from the visit of the Prince of Wales
to India and the Far East. The
prince sailed from Portsmouth on
October 26th.
a great change in the outlook in
India has occurred since the trip was
first decided upon. The monsoons
have broken the long drouth and
more than the average rain has fall
en-; the gloom in industry. and more
particularly agriculture has been
largely dispelled with the rise Of the
rupee; frontier fighting has almost
ceased; the proceedings of the new
government have not been subjected
to that bitter criticism which has
bsen heaped upon IL hitherto; but
apart from that the feelings of the
native tribes have not been assauged
in any degree by the advent of this
prince of the Sahibs.
Ghandi still holds sway among his
Mahommedan brethren and unless
this modern prophet is coerced into
better humor the visit of the heir
to the British throne to his Britannia
Majlstys Eastern domains will not
be attended with that outburst of en-
thusiasm which characterized his
visits to Australia and Canada.
The visit is not to be a mere dupli-
cation of the visits of other heirs to
the British throne when they have
wandered abroad to the dominions
overseas.
The war has had its effect on the
relations between the British royal |
family and its Indian subjects. The |
Prince is therefore going to take ev-
err opportunity to show to the colored /
populations of India the Indebtedness
the royal family owes to the native
troops.

the maneuvers on the Northeast fran
tier, where all the recent fighting

I'd by princes created by the British
government and there, at all events.
royal welcome is assured.
The prince will especially investi-
gate the conditions surrounding the
