(World Copyright) 'THE KING TODAY

When on the iith of May, 1910,

George Frederick Ernest Albert, Prince of Wales. succeeded to the British Throne as George V, it can. not be truly said that the facts

any Zreat _enthusiasm or

the people of The late mon-

had enjoyed such and prestige at during his brief

nine years' reign, that his sudden PBSSUIK stunned the- nation--not yet fully recovered from the death of the great Queen who had reign. id for over sixty years before him. The new' monarch. despite the fact that he was nearly forty-five years of asc. was more or less un- known to the public. His august grandmother and popular father inevitably had the effect of thrust- ing other members of the royal family into the shades oi the na- tional Sflse.

King George suffered from the additional handicap that he had not been born heir to the thi-one and up to the age of twenty-seven he had_not the slightest idea or expectation that he would ever be called upon to wear the crown. The tragic death of his older brother, the Duke oi Clarence, in January 1892, was a heavy` personal be- reavement tothe then sailor Prince George, and it profoundly changed his whole life~ From- a happy, carefree, naval

commands- he suddenly found

arch.

to the throne, with the consequent duties and responsibilities. It bi now generally known that the changezlll, at ilrst, not by any means to the liking of the Prince. Life in; the Navy was most con- genial to him. Deference and cere- monial he had always found dis- tasteful and a quiet everyday exist- ence was his ideal.

As Duke of York and later as

Prince of. Wales, however, he ,had io play his part in the royal and national life, and he performed it, if not with any great enthusiasm” with undoubted dignity and thor- nugbnesa. To the great mass of the public.

nevertheless, the new King was rather. a shadowy and colourless personality Faithful to the tradi- tional~navai beard he invariably looked older than his years, and his rather-‘ grave and serious mlen was in striking contrast to the alert, smiling exterior of his father,

When, therefore, George ‘V was proclaimed King of the realm in that sultry May of 1910, the na- tion frankiy was at a loas io know what no think or expect from the new Sovereign. Twmy-five years have now pas-

led since then and' what a. contrast they have wrought. It is but the sober truth to say that His Majesty King George V. can be described, without fear of contradition, not only as the. most popular monarch who has ever sat on the British Throne, but by far its ablest occu-

To have reached this position and to have accomplished the feat during a. quarter of a century. which for storm and stress. has never been equalled in British history, is.'an achievement which posterity alone will be able to ap- praise at its true worth. While other thrones have been toppled over and historic crowns set rolling in the dust, the British Throne has stood like' a rock, and the crown has entwined itself into the very hear of thy nation and the Empire. Well may the King in his seven- tieth year look back on his event- ful reign with pride and satisfac- tion. His Majesty would be the first to admit that he has always been inclined to doubt his own pow- ers, but that is a phase which has now passed.

After his recovery from his se-

vere illness in 1928-9 in a message to the country His Majesty declar- ed, “It was encouragement be- yond feel that my consta desire has been to gain

shock of the World War to bring home to the “Mother Country" that the word “colonies” was not only obsolete. but also offensive when applied to nations like Gan- ada, Australia, Bouth Africa and New Zealand ,

Today these great territories are

for all practical purposes, indepen- dent, ,and the stringent bond which binds them to Britain is allegiance C0 the 0r0Wh. It is well, therefore, for all concerned, that the wearer of the regal symbol is a Sovereign whose character, ability and tact command the unstinicd love, ad- miration and respect of the entire

The prestige of King George in

the Dominlons cannot possibly be higher than it is at home, but it is certainly not much less. If you are to analyse the causes of the ex- traordlnary hold which the King now has over all his far-flung sub- jects. you would not be wrong in saying that one of the main ones is the intense "Britishness" of His Majesty. _

His grandfather was a typical German, his mother a woman of pronounced German sympathies and traditions, while his father, King Edward, was a man who felt as much-if not more-at home in France and Germany as he did in Britain. But King George is Eng- Iish to the backbone. He loves Britain with a passion which is even increasing with his years, and only state or official business has ever made him leave his native shores.

When his doctors advised him to

go abroad for convalescence after his illness, His Majesty declined to do so.

"England is good enough for me."

he is reported to have told one of his nurses then, and if the old country ca.n't make me well, I am sure foreign places won‘t."

The King, of course, does not re-

gard the Empire as outside the "home" orbit.

After the War the King was ex-

tremely anxious to make si pro- longed Empire tour, but his medi- cal advisers considered that after the strain of the War years such a project was not to be recommen- ded. The Prince of Wales depu- tised for him and his phenomenal success as deputy is now a matter of history, The King and his heir are the "Empire conscious" men in , Britain, and they have many long and inicresting discussions con- l cerning various' places and prob- lems of the great Dominions.

It must be remembered that the

King travelled widely throughout the Empire in his yout.h and middle manhood and his memories of these visits and tours are still extremely vivid-aided as they are by carefully kept diaries, notes and photographs.

As I have suggested, the King

when he ascended the Throne could not be described as full of conn- dence in himself. His innate mod- esty was too strong, but the coron- atlon year showed the nation that the new King could be very deter- mined and strong-willed. He point- blank refused to take the tradi- tional coronatiori oath which con- tained a needlessly offensive clause against the religion held by mil- lions of his subjects, until the oath had been amended with this reference deleted. It is known that many of his advisers tried to in- fluence the King against such a move but His Majesty was ada- mant-and he got his way. On the state visit to Dublin in 1911, the citizens gave him a rousing wel- come which was partly in recog- nition of the King's courage in the

matter of the oath.

I-its Majesty is fond of saying

that one of the most moving exper- iences in his life was the singing by thousands of Dubliners of "Come back to Erin" when the ship

tremeiy attractive figure in public. Ho one who witnea|ed,it will over

forget the scene on_Armistioe niggt in 1918 when a‘h\-Ile crowd dnl - ioue with joy and burning with loyalty assembled in front .of Blwlilllhl-Ill Palace -and fervently sang “God Save the Klng."\Wb¢n Hia Majesty, accompanied by the QUBQD-9»l>P°ared on the balcony to acknowledge the tribute. the roar of welcome. 'and the subsequent cheers. in the words of a foreign spectator, “shook the bsnke"of‘ the 'I‘hanies."_

Another memorable had spon-

taneous manifeatation of the love of the nation for iid King was the crowd which daily and nightly. gathered round the Palace during the critical stage of the‘King's illness. In cold, wet and bleak weather the people remained-and inwardly prayed for tberecovery of the Royal patient. When, after his recovery, the King saw the thousands uponthouslnda of let- ters mii gifts at medicine which had been lent by loyaland hum- ble subjectc in all parts of Britain and the Enipire, tears came into his eyes and he was unable to speak for a few mlnuies-accord- ing to an eye-witneal who was present at the touching. scene.

At theatres and sports functions

such as soccer and rugby matches. the King invariably receives from the public an immense ovation. The thundering cheers of a hun- dred-thouaand Cup Final' crowd at Wembley when Hia Majesty walin on to the held to shake hands with the players, makes an awe-inspir- ing and thrilling sound which never fails to move the King-for he knows that a “soccer” crowd is made up of _'the “men of the street" who only cheer when their heart tells them to. The “democracy” in post-war days is vastly different to that of 1910, the year .oi the Kings accession. Twenty-five your B80 few mem- bers of the working-class had linked up economics with politics. The British .Labor Party had only

many of them having been elected as a result of an arrangement with the then all-powerful Liberal Party. The House of Lords and Home Rule were the two leading national issues in the early part, of the Kingls reign but' despite the heat and vigor of the political con- flict, Britain in 1910 at heart was is peaceful and prosperous country -supremely confident of its power and position in the 'world and with an _, unahnkeabla belief’ in its destiny. ' - '

Doubts about the social system

and traditional institutions exist- ed only among small coeries of people who were labelled “cranks” and sometimes worse. The Throne was looked upon al aninstitution which was to be “seen but not heard" and A theoretical republi- canism was not considered un- iashionable. Pow who in 1910 saw the virtually unknown "Sailor King” ascend the 'Ihmne would have foretold that this quiet and rather nervous man would kill re- publican aentiment in Britain and the Empire well inside 'twenty years. Yet King George V has suc- ceeded where the great Queen Victoria and the glittering King Edward failed. y

There were thousands of con-

vinced republicans in ‘those reigns. but if there are a dozen at heart in Great Britaintoday it would be almost a shock. When Sir Stanord Oripps, the Socialist lead- er, pubiicly stated that "opposition from Buckingham Palace" would have to be overcome by the next Socialist Government, the ,whole nation felt .that he had committed not only 'an outrage, but had n-iade a most unjustified attack upon a Sovereign who in hia_reign had shown. more practical sympathy

containing the Royal party sailedl for England, after that memorable! visit. Both the King and Queen

stood on deck listening to the siraxg- ` ing until the end. 'rue King "ea el back to Erin" again in 1921 when he visited Belfast to open the Nor- thern Parliament, and by doing so he virtually risked his life. But the King had never lacked courage of, a high order and he insisted on, this Belfast visit in spite of ilia- grave troubles in Ireland at thai time. _

Hia Majesty has never been ai

robust man, but he has always been I a fit and healthy one. Up to 1920' he never spared himself in any' way. and if he is decreasing nowa- i
