KING EDWARD PLANNING EMPIRE BROADCAST

London, Jun. 22.

It is learned on good authority that His Majesty the King is considering broadcasting a message to the Empire after the funeral of the late King, his father, on Tuesday next.

Meanwhile, plans are advancing for the burial of His Late Majesty and the most impressive ceremonies of London's history will be watched by hundreds of thousands of mourning citizens.

A special memorial service will be held in St. Paul's Cathedral at 3 o'clock on the day of the funeral. The Lord Mayor and Corporation and representatives of other civic bodies will attend.

Royal Air Force machines have been grounded to-mertow and on the day of the funeral and civilian airmen have been asked to refrain from flying over the route which the King's coffin will follow through London to-morrow, or over West- minster Hall during the lying-in-state or the route of the procession on Tuesday.

King Edward went by train tol Sandringham to-day. He will join the remainder of the Royal Family for the sad walk behind the late King's bier, on the road station,

London, Jan. 22.

Geneva, Jan. 22.

An exchange of views between the British and other Governments on the situation in the Mediterranean has been published in a memorandum and sent by the United Kingdom delegation, at Geneva to the Co-Ordinating Committee. It shows that in addition to the agreement by Great Britain and France to stand together if attacked that assurances have also been received from the Governments of Greece, Turkey and Yugo-Slavia which "left no doubt of their readiness to faith- fully comply with all obligations developing upon them under the Covenant in consequence of measures taken in the applica tion of Article XVI."

The memorandum states that the British Government in return gave reciprocal assurances.

The fact that these conversations were taking place led certain quarters to suggest that they concerned not only the Mediterranean but also the north-eastern frontier of France, the note adds. The British Government, it says, wishes to take this opportunity of denying the truth of any such state- ment.
