A letter from the King to the General Committee of

the King Edward Memorial Fund was published in Friday's papers. The King suggests the reconsideration of the plan for erecting the memorial in the Green Park, and proposes as an alternative site the open space between Pall Mall and the Duke of York's column. At a meeting of the Committee held on Thursday this proposal was unanimously accepted. We feel sure that the King's wise suggestion will be approved by everyone.
