POSSIBLE VISIT BY PRINCESS

No Invitation By

Australia

(Rec. 10 p.m.) _ n MELBOURNE, April 30.

The Commonwealth Government has not yet considered the possibility of extending an invitation to Princess Margaret to visit Australia after a visit to Malaya, and it has not yet been informed officially that she is going to Malaya, the Canberra correspondent of the Melbourne “Herald reported today. He said no comment on the possibility of a visit to Australia could be obtained today from the Prime Minister (Mr Menzies), who is resting after his strenuous official mission to the East. Australian newspapers today published a London message quoting the “Daily Mail” as saying Princess Margaret was expected to represent the Queen at the independence celebrations m Malaya in August. Federal Ministers say that when the Government learns officially of her visit to Malaya, an extension to Australia may be considered. Mr Menzies . may possibly discuss a visit in London when he arrives there in June. Provisional official reactions to the proposal are that the time factor will be found to make a visit to Australia impracticable at present, because of the amount of preliminary organisation that would be needed.
