MR. CURTIN MAY PAY VISIT TO ENGLAND
R»cd. 8.20 p.m. Sydney, Nov., 16. The Duke of Gloucester is not expected to arrive in Australia before next August to take up his appointment as Governor-General. The State Governor will act as Governor-Gen-eral following the departure o’ Lord Gowrie and pending the arrival of the Duke.
Whether the Duchess and their two-year-old son, Prince William, will accompany the Duke to Australia depends on the state of the war at the time of the Royal party’s departure from England, but the Duchess is reported to be extremely anxious to come.
In view of the Royal Family's desire for wartime simplicity, the Duke oi Gloucester’s household is expected to be comparatively small. It is not thought, therefore, that any extensive additions will be made to Government House, Canberra, on which £70,000 were spent when the late Duke of Kent was appointed Gover-nor-General designate.
Some nolitical commentators suggest that Mr. Curtin will visit. England early next year and will confer with the Duke before he leaves to take un his appointmenl.
