THREE KINGS
ONE MORE CONFERENCE. We live in an age of conferences, but one which is to last through the summer vacation will interest all boys and girls. It is that of three child kings—Michael of Rumania, Peter the Second of Yugoslavia and Mahidol of Siam. Michael is, of course, a king no longer, but he was one for a brief space of time, before his father resumed the throne he had renounced. Michael is 13 and still at school. But his holidays are to be spent on the shores of one of the lovely Italian lakes, where a villa has been rented for him. As it is poor fun to spend your summer holidays by yourself his two colleagues, Peter aged 11 and Mahidol aged 9, have been invited to keep him company. It is not expected that the youthful sovereigns will discuss world problems to the exclusion of all games, but it is not impossible that they will come to some joint decision respecting the vexed question of pocket-money, which King Mahidol raised on his own account soon after he succeeded to the throne.
