LONDON, May 25.-Emperor Halle
Selassie today relieved the British
government of the embarrassing prob
lem of how to receive him by travelling
to England incognito.
He is on his way here aboard the
British cruiser Capetown from Haifa,
Palestine, following his self-exile from
Ethiopia in the face of the Italian
advance.
! The question of receiving him with
honors, it was authoritatively stated,
was automatically removed by the En-
peror's action in deciding to come in
cognito.
Informed sources said they could
not say whether his decision was taken
by his own volition or by British re-
quest.
Normally, any monarch arriving in
England is given an elaborate welcome
unless he comes incognito.
The name under which Halle Selas-
sic will arrive, possibly this week end,
was not announced.
Arrangements for his arrival are
being handled by the Ethiopian Lega-
tion. Some British official doubtless
y will be on hand to greet the defeated
King.
Informed sources stated, however,
that political conversations between
Halle Selassie and the British were
not anticipated.
