PLACING OF WREATHS.
GOVERNMENT’S PURPOSE. PREVENTION OF FORMALITY. United Press Assn.—Elec. ■ Tel. Copyright. LONDON, Dctober 29. The Prime Minister, Mr MacDonald, in a reference to the official instructions issued in regard to the placing of wreaths at the Cenotaph and the Unknown Warrior’s tomb by foreign dignatories, revealed the fact that the Governments, of the Dominions were consulted before the instructions were issued. Their replies generally were favourable to the suggested restriction. The only object was to prevent the ceremony, which should be simple and spontaneous, from becoming a mere formality of international courtesy.
