PRINCE PACKS HIS KIT
 FOR LONG JOURNEY
 BELOW THE EQUATOR

LONDON, Mar 24-(AP).-T h e globe-trotting Prince of Wales is packing his trunk-or trunks-pre- paratory to starting on another jaunt to strengthen his claim to the title as the most extensively travelled young man in the world. Having made prolonged visits to three conti- nents and the island continent of Australia, his forthcoming tour of to South Africa and Argentina will complete his rounds of the major divisions into which the land sur face of the earth is divided. He plans to leave England March 29
 This will be the sixth extensive trip the prince has taken since he started out ill 1919 to see the world, ord of having spent a long period away from home each year since that time The future king has had a standing invitation for several years to visit South Africa, and at times it was made a pressing one, but it was somewhat of surprise at home as we'll as in Argentina when it was announced that he would visit the latter country after his stay on the dark continent.
 On four of his previous journeys the prince touched upon United States territory, but missed getting under the American flag in 1923 when he went on vacation and rec reation trip to his ranch in Canada. When leaving Manila for home in May, 1922, he remarked that one of the pleasant features of his visit to the Philippine Islands was that it enabled him to keep up his rec ord on his long trips of having set foot on United States territory.
 The first extensive trip taken by the Prince of Wales was in 1919, when he travelled on the battleship Renown for a visit to Canada and the United States Upon his depar- ture the press of England generally commented upon the trip as an ev- ent of great importance. The Even ing News said "The future peace of the world depends upon the soli- darity of the British Empire and the firm friendship between 1t and the United States. It is in the cause of the peace of the world that the Prince of Wales sets out upon this journey"
 After spending more than two months in the Dominion visiting cit ies from coast to coast the prince entered the United States at Rouses Point. N. Y, where he was received by a party of American officials and statesmen, headed by Robert Lans- ing, secretary of state, who off cially welcomes the royal visitor on behalf of the government. He was in the United States about ten days, dividing the time principally be- tween Washington and New York. While in the capital he visited Pre- sident Wilson at the White House.
 The prince had been home less ho tar a6 out again on the Renown to visit Australia The trip was made by way of the Panama Canal and on the way stops were made at San Diego, Cal, where two days were spent, and at Honolulu. The return voyage after several months in Aus tralia was made over the same route with stops at Honolulu and the British West Indies. The prince was back home in October after an ab sence of seven months.
 A. trip to India had been planned for the prince in 1921, but 1t was postponed from time to time because of the feeling, accompanied by riots in various cities, aroused by Oppo nents of British rule. Finally, 1T October, despite the pleadings o1 the king and queen, the prince again made the Renown his sea home anG sailed for India. Notwithstanding that hartals, or boycotts against the royal visit, were observed in severa cities, the prince received enthusi astic welcomes in every city he wis ited. After his tour of India ht proceeded to Japan, where he Wa! lavishly entertained with dinner parties, balls and other entertain ments in the various cities for sev eral weeks The Renown then car ried the prince to Manila, where h' was the guest of Governor Genera Leonard Wood.
