The Visit of the British
Prince of Wales.
A great deal of nonsense, fnvnrnMn
and unfavorable, has been written
about the proposed visit of the I'rinct;
of Wales to this country.
Nearly all the speculation rpRti riling
the social aspect of the visit of the
Prince, the requirements of precedent,
. the people who will be permitted to
meet him or entertain him, the society
buds who will exhibit their charms in
his royal presence, etc., may be swept
aside ns silly. There is, unfortunate
ly, much toadyism latent in certain
strata of American society; hut that
U not the dominant spirit of the mv
thin, and has nothing to do with the
purpose and spirit with which the
Prince ifl coming and with which he
will be regarded by the American peo
pie ns a whole.
Just as silly Is the critical and even
scurrilous comment emanating from
some of the professional Angtophoben
or riritish-baiters In the United States,
who use the Prince ns a text for n
new series of diatribes against the
llritlnh empiro nnd people.
A favorite device of these critics is
to "damn With faint praise." Edward is
described patronizingly as 'a nice
boy," personally likable nnd commend'
able. Between the lines is the impli
cation that ns the prospective ruler of
the British empiro he Is but a sorry
spectacle, and that any nation that
will even pretend to be ruled by such
a commonplace individual is absurd
nnd undemocratic.
The fact is that the king-emperor,
"who is now (leorge and will eventually j
be Edward, is literally the "king pin"
that holds tho British empire togeth
er. That empire is a great aggrega
tion of democratic nnd virtually in
dependent nations. Without the im
perial crown, they would fall apart.
Making an exception of 1 1 eland, it
may be said truly that in the present
stnge of affairs, such disintegration
would he a lamentable thing for the
world.
Politically, George is, and Edward
will be, little more than n symbol of,
unity. Hut there is nothing on earth
more powerful than symbols. Viewed
in that aspect alone, the American
government and American people may
well Hi a respectful and friendly
greeting to th s representative of the
British government and the llriti.di
people. Through him the two greatest
peoples on earth shake hands with
rich other.
It is all the easier and pleaantcr
f;.r Americans to be hospii. ihle to
Prince Edward because, while not pie
finding to brilliancy or speci.il nbiV.y.
he ha proved his mettle in the war,
and is known for the qualities .f m d
(fly. manliness, sincerity and iVmo
vr.iUv simplicity which American.-- al
ways admire.
