A BRIDE FOR THE PRINCE
POLICY MARRIAGE DISCOUNTED. PRESS AND PUBLIC OPINION. Pr«t* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, October 14. ' The Times,' in a leader, says : "The question of the marriage of the Princo of Wales has been widely discussed. There is real anxiety that the choice may be- a wise one. The war in this as in most tilings brought about a groat change in public opinion, which- here, as elsewhoro throughout the Empire, is -strongly adverse to any compulsion upon the Prince to make his marriage one of policy. Britishers wish his marriage to he one of true happiness, meaning a marriage of inclination. It follows naturally that the hope is that his wife will bo ono of our own race. Though there have been fortunate exceptions, it is certainly true that marriages of policy with foreign princesses liave not had happiness as a primary condition." 'The Times' doubts whether the need now exists, though it may have existed before the war, to restrict the choice to blood -royal.—'Times.'
