CORONATION VISITORS

RULERS AND POTENTATES

Kulers and potentates from all over i the world will attend the Coronation in . May, states a London writer. They will include at least five kings and three ; queens. From America, Tibet, India, China, Chile, and the remotest ends of the earth, the "great" will assemble to do honour to the British Monarch, King George the Sixth. In cases where the rulers themselves cannot come, their envoys will:be sent. Those in the glittering crowd will include 150 ruling Princes of India, with their retinues; King Christian' of Denmark, King George of Greece, King Haakon of Norway, King Boris of Bulgaria, and King Carol of Rumania. All these with the possible exception of King Carol, will be the private guests of the Royal Family. Crown Prince Umberto will come from Italy, Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf from Sweden, and Princess Juliana from Holland. The President of the Portuguese Republic and the Kings of Irak and Egypt will attend "in the quality of allies." The Turkish Premier, will represent his country, Foreign Ministers will come from Germany, Russia, Hungary, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Brazil, i Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. The U.S.A. envoy will come as Am- • bassadcr Extraordinary or as the personal representative of President Roose- . velt. President Lebrun will represent ' France. i The task confronting the police with ' regard to the "protection" of these im- ■ portant visitors is so formidable that i it has been tentatively decided to call ; upon the Army for assistance. In addiJ tion to detectives, sentries will guard ■ them night and day, the London Command having been called upon already ■ to supply' both soldiers and sentry- • boxes. At every palace, embassy, or t mansion there will be a strong guard, -for the British Government is in no llmx^t»#9t''ulg^sant^4nclde^ts> , ' _
