KING MAY VISIT FAR EAST

"Sunday Times" Report of Tour of Whole Empire

TRIP AFTER CORONATION DURBAR IN 1938

THE Singapore "Sunday Times" understands

that there is a possibility that His Majesty. King Edward VIII may visit the Far East carly 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, 1937 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 Australia.

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.
