NAZI "INSULT."

COMMONS QUESTION.

General Goering's Presence at

Coronation.

MISS WILKINSON'S FEAR. Vnljkd Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, February 22. Members shouted "Order!" and "Shame!" when Miss Ellen Wilkinson (Lab., Jarrow) asked in the House of Commons: "Can we have some guarantee that we will not be insulted by the presence of General Goering at the Coronation?" Miss Wilkinson's question was not answered by the Government. General Goering's name hae been mentioned in newspapers, but Berlin advices state that German representatives to .attend the Coronation have not been appointed. Sending of invitations to Spain and Abyssinia was announced by the Foreign Under-Secretary, Viscount Cranborne. The Government anticipates that visitors to London for the Coronation will far outnumber anything known on previous occasions, states a British official wireless message. Invitations to send representatives have been sent to all the heads of States in diplomatic relations with the King, and to certain independent States without diplomatic representation but in treaty relations with Britain. The colonial military contingent to take part in the Coronation procession will consist of detachments of officers, British non-commissioned officers and African, Arab or Malay non-commis-sioned officers from the permanent forces in colonial dependencies, and of officers and non-commissioned officers from various local volunteer defence forces. The contingent will number approximately 120.

SAID TO BE JEALOUS. PARIS AND CORONATION. v LONDON, February 17. While the "Sunday Dispatch" urges a month's revelry for the Coronation, stating that this will mean the expenditure of millions by visitors to London, the "Sunday Referee" asserts that Paris intends to stage over the Coronation period all kinds of attractions, including all-night cabarets and spectacles, in the hope of outdoing London. The paper reports that propaganda has already been circulated, seeking to convince United States visitors that Paris will be , far more exciting than London. There will be night racing at Longcliainps, great fireworks displays, and the production of a play in the great square in front of Notre Dame Cathedral. t WOULD EMBARRASS. DUKE AT CORONATION. LONDON, February 18. The Duke of Windsor is not expected to attend the Coronation or visit England this summer. There is a feeling in official political quarters that it would be unwise to run the risk of the demonstrations in his favour, and that, at the best his presence in Britain would be embarrassing. The news magazine "Cavalcade" asserts that the King has given instructions to send a formal command to the Duke of Windsor to attend the next meeting of the Order of the Garter.
