Report of Tour of Whole Empire
DURBAR IN 1938
THE Singapore "Sunday Times" understands
that there is a possibility that His Majesty King Edward VIII may visit the Far East early in 1938.
The Singapore newspaper quotes London sources as! ́saying that there is a “strong possibility" that the trip will
be made.
The Royal visit, says the Sunday Times, would be part of an Empire tour, following the Coronation Durbar in Delhi in December, 1987 or January, 1938.
It is believed that His Majesty will almost assuredly visit Singapore, in view of the fact that this city would be along the Suez route to Austraļia.
The Australian Government is said to be considering an invitation to King Edward to go to Australia to attend the 150th anniversary of the foundation of New South Wales.
