ENGLAND’S NEED

PRINCE AS LEADER. STRIKING TRIBUTE. LONDON, Oct. 10. “We left England free, but return to find her under blaickmail, , grimly and tensely waiting A. J. Cook s threat of revolution. “Those working for England’s salvation badly want a leader, and there, is none to whom they can Turn more confidently than the Prince of Wales,’ , says G. Ward Prince, in the “Sunday Pictorial.” "Close personal contaci during a seven months’ tour has convinced me that the public is too engrossed by the Prince’s charm and sportsmanship, not realising that his extensive experience gained in world tours has added to his sterner qualities. “The Prince has definitely achieved manhood with self-confidence and a strong will. As long as the most serious internal crisis that has faced England for generations remains a peaceful political issue the Prince must stand aloof. But. in the event of open Communist, revolt he is the ideal ]eade> of a revival of true British patriotism. His activities are less limited than the King’s, yet the Prince carries all the Throne’s historic prestige, and understands and sympathises with all classes. “He knows the Empire as he knows England. Again and again during the tour I heard him asking about the possibilities of emigration and the development and sale of British products. It won’t surprise me in the, least if the Prince’s investigations and reflections shortly reach the nation in the form of an energetic, sirnore, and straightforward speech, urging all classes to start a British renaissance and dispel the diseases of soul and I ly om which the country is suffering. ”
