London, Feb. 9.

May 22, 1937, will likely be the date fixed for the corona tion of King Edward VIII, it is learned by Reuter from those in close touch with Buckingham Palace.

There will be a great gathering of Imperial statesmen for the ceremony and an early official announcement is expected.

The Imperial Conference has been postponed until 1937 in order that the Dominions' statesmen shall not have to make two journeys to London, and it is believed the Conference' will be held just before or just after the Coronation. The dato will be determined after consultation with all the Dominions!

After the Coronation it is anticipated that His Majesty

will visit Edinburgh, Belfast and Carnarvon.”

Later in 1937, possibly in October, the King is expected

to proceed to India, to be crowned Emperor at Delhi.

The possibility of His Majesty visiting the Dominions is being freely canvassed, but this subject is still in an exploratory singe. It been suggested, however, that Majesty might make a visit to his Dominions and more important colonies after his coronation, and al triumphal tour of this sort would be highly gratifying to the Overseas Empire, it is certain. It has even been suggested that His Majesty might be crowned in the Dominion capitals, since the great overscas
