“WHAT THE WEST CAN TEACH.”
SIR HARI SINGH LEARNS. HIS WEALTH DISCUSSED. (Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 11.45 a.m.) London, December 5. The newspapers tell romantic stories of the wealth of Sir Hari Singh, who, it is disclosed, is “Mr A.” Some declare that it is £40,000,000. When eight years of age he attended Lord Cuvzon’s Durbar at Delhi in 1902, wearing a gown of gold and a rope of pearls worth £1,000,000. He wore at King George’s Durbar in 1914. a shimmering gold robe embroidered with pearls, diamonds, emeralds and rubies worth £3,000,000. When he received the Prince of Wales at Sunigar, in 1921, he wore in his turban a replica of the Prince of Wales’ feathers made of diamonds, for which his agents searched the world to match the stories. He has been twice married. After the Robinson episode he hastily departed for Kashmir, saying significantly, “I have learned how much the West can teach the East.”
