On Tuesday the Prince of Wales paid a ceremonial visit

to the City of London and received an address of welcome from the Corporation on his return from his tour in Australia and New Zealand. We have written elsewhere about the senti- ments which the Prince of Wales expressed at the luncheon at the Guildhall, and suggested how naturally those sentiments arose out of his character. Before the luncheon the address was presented in the Library in the presence of the Prime Minister, several members of the Government, the Archbishop of Canterbury, distinguished officers of the Navy and Army, and well-known men of business. Not only in the streets through which the Prince of Wales' procession passed but in the Guild- hall itself there was real enthusiasm. It was a delightful sort of homecoming.
