Prince of Wales will lunch with
President and Mrs. Coolidge at the
White House Aug. so, the day of
his arrival from Europe for the in
ternational polo games, the Wash

Wales is not coming to the United

decided such a course would be lack
ing in proper respect for this coun-
try, the article said. Hence, COM
ing as heir to the British throne, it
is obligatory. according to view of
the British court, that he pay his
respects to the President.
A suggestion to this effect was
conveyed to the White House
through diplomatic channels with an
inquiry as to whether such a call
would be feasible and agreeable.
The President, of course, promptly
answered in the affirmative.
