THE CHARM OF BRITAIN

TOO LITTLE KNOWN PRINCE AS TRAVEL BOOSTER. (British Official Wireless.) •RUGBY, December' 10. (Received Dec. 17, at 5.5 p.m.) At a meeting of the Travel Association, the Prince of Wales said that too little was known of the charm of Britain, ■while too much was heard of the financial and industrial difficulties, which, he regretted, Britain shared with the whole world. He emphasised the need for extended travel. If, temporarily, British people were being dissuaded from traveling abroad for pleasure, apart from business, foreign countries would realise that it was merely an emergency measure, and that as soon as the situation became more stabilised the British people would certainly go abroad again, just as the Travel Association hoped that people in countries overseas would visit Britain. “Travel arid trade are international,” he said, ‘'and it is only by exchanging goods, services, and visits that we can live in comfort, peace, and mutual understanding. If we' always stay at home and try to eke out a livelihood by taking in each other’s washing it will be a precarious livelihood for the whole world.”
