PRINCE AND PRESS
UNPUBLISHED COMPLAINTS. [From Our London Correspondent.] Juno 29. Now that the Prince of Wales is back a little ■ may be said of a matter which primarily ia of domestic interest to the Press, but essentially also of value to the country and tho throne. ,On the Prince’s tour to Canada there were serious but unpublished complaints of the treatment of the Press. These complaints were repeated on the Australian tour, and now one hears them again in connection with the tour just completed. For tho various- correspondents who have accompanied the Prince it may be said that they aroinen of the world and of tho greatest experience and highest standing in their calling—men not likely to be unreasonable in a personal point of view or to bo tactless in their duty; otherwise they would not be what they are. .One imagines that the reporting of tho Prince’s tours should he most popular with tho ex-war correspondents and other great “specials.” Yet I have known a blunt refusal to be given by a “ special ” to bis editor as the result of previous experience. Little blame attaches to tho Prince, who has a healthy young man’s dislike of more publicity than is necessary, but great responsibility lies on bis staff.
