LONDON, March 16.-When the
Prince of Wales was child he once
confided to his grandfather that he
wanted to be policeman when ne
grew up. King Edward told him it
was a laudable ambition, and in a
sense he has realized it. He is the
guardian Of Empire peace. He Is
force uniting his fathers people. He
serves the high and low alike ana
inspires respect and loyalty to the es-
, tablished order Of government in
England.
Although the Prince is best known
for his dancing and Workmanship,
these pursuits occupy less OF his
time than the average man devotes
to recreation. H. r. H. is an I'M
commonly busy official Of state. He
frequently fills three or four en-
gagements day, and at each he
is the center Of interest. He must
prepare for each in advance so that
he may intelligently speak and be IA
miliar with the activities Of the per-
sons he meets and the aims of or
CARNATIONS receiving him. On the
same day he may address a highly
| technical meeting of learned sclen-
lists and a mothers club battling for
better baby food. He is in demand
for every phase Of life and work in
the British Isles. On recent visit
!! to Cardiff he attended four banquets
in one night. And he must always
be the smiling, debonnaire young
man WIFI IL SIOW VI dllCSllOh oAies
goodwill for all.
Realizes Burdens
Contrary to the general impress
sion, the Prince is studious and deep
thinking. He is mindful Of his
great responsibilities and wants to
do his job thoroughly. This is not
always easy in an age where hered-
itary monarchy is rather generally
discredited. But the Prince has
become more than the heir to a
throne; he is loved for himself and
| for that reason cannot afford to
i shirl1 his work He must, and does,
maintain the best traditions Of the
royal house.
| The Prince works in the mornings
with his secretaries. BY the time
he has finished breakfast his official
correspondence is ready for him, with
hreplies drafted. but he always checks
his letters and signs them. His per
sonal correspondence is in a, sepa
rate bag, and he deals with this him
self, a. practice he learned from his
father.
The majority of the princes
speeches are written for him. Thi.
is advisable for political reasons, -ant
they require expert knowledge ant
research that he would not have
time to do. But he goes over then
carefully and often corrects phrase
ology to instill his own personality
He used to memorize the lines, bu
he is now more at ease in public
speaking and often swings from hi
text to extemporize when the oc
casion arises. He prefers to confin'
himself to informal remarks rathel
than deliver long speeches.
Less Conscious
The nervousness of the prince hal
long been subject for speculation
His friends maintain that appear
anees exaggerate his nervous stat,
and that his mannerisms suggest al
uneasiness which he does not actual
