The British people recognize that the King ie the best
President in the world, and that he is chosen, if one may venture on a rather paradoxical use of the word, under the best system in the world. Our Crowned Presidents succeed one another without turmoil, instability or unnecessary public expense, and they are all carefully trained for the purpose. What could be a more wonderful training than this strenuous and in many ways risky tour which the Prince of Wales has just completed ? He cannot fail to have come back with a comprehensive sense of what the Empire means. He will never be in danger of falling into particularism. The delight of the crowds in London on Wednesday was a just measure of their appreciation of the courage and unselfishness with which the Prince of Wales is going through this training. They would acknowledge their debt to any man who was doing as much, but it was a particular pleasure to acknowledge it in the case of one so frank and gay and friendly as the Prince of Wales.
