Appr e n t i ceship to Life’s Work Render- .ed Life Hitherto Unsettled

(Special to the Guardian)

LONDON, April 5.——A statement ‘made in American newspapers that ‘the engagement of the Prince of Wales to a Swedish princess will bennnounccd on the comple- tion of his present tour, is another of the somewhat lengthy series of similar announcements which events have disproved. in the present instance the prediction has u long range quality which may cause it t obe forgotten before the Prince ‘returns home.

The nearest approach to what may be called an intelligent appre- ciation of the Prince's matrimonial intentions was seen here recently in an article contributed to a. Lon- don Sunday papcr by Ward Price, one of the newspapermen who ac- companied His Royal Highness on hla tour. That such an article should have been written by one of his prospective fellow-travellers was taken as an indication that the Prince had been consulted and ‘had expressed no objection.

The main points embodied in the article were that the Prince's sense of public service imposed upon bim an exceptionally restless and unsettled mode of life. but that now that the last stage of his apprenticeship to his life's work was being reached by his present tour, there was good reason to hope and believe t-h-at The P111169 would be able to turn his atten- tion to the matter of choosing a wife. In conclusion. the wri-ter of the article suggested that the Prince's choice would be entirely unfettered and that while he might take a daughter of a ‘royal house for a wife, fit was equally possible he might select a British bride.

Near War is Visioned

NEW YORK, April 5.—This gon- cration ‘will experience another great war which will threaten ‘the permanence of modern civilization, Raymond ‘B. ‘Fosdlck. trustee of the Rockefeller foundation, predicted yesterday before the New York Rot- ary Club.

"There is. no such thing as a per- ‘manent civilizatidn," declared Mr. Fosdick. “The same pallbearers who carried out the coffin of Tutank- hamen are waiting outside our door ‘for t-he remains of our civiliza- tion."

Speaking in the Provincial Leg- islature (luring the (lebato on the Dun-ft Address nn March 19th. lion. J. H. Myers, Minister of Agricul- ture. said:

Mr. Speaker. I assure you that it is not my intention to speak at any gal-eater length than l WIII find absolutely necessary. Of course. when you have ‘to preside uvur a department such as l flail myself in charge of at the present time. i~t is necessary occasionally to enter into a somewhat lengthly exphnn- tion of the manner in which the work is carried on. it is a little dif- ferent with the Public Works De- partment; the public and the House know and see what they are doing there from one day to an- other nnd there Ia an opportunity to inspect it at all trimes.

I desire first of all to follow the time honored custom referred to by my hon. friend from .0'Leary and extend congratulations toj-he mover and seconder of the ad- dress, 1 would like to take this occasion to compliment them. not ‘because it is the custom but be‘ cause l feel it is their due.
