BRITISH LEGION PRESIDENCY
PRINCE OF WALES SUGGESTED Pres; Association-By TeDpraph—Copyright. LONDON, .February 8. The ‘Daily Express’ editorially expresses the hope that Earl Jelliono will show wisdom and decline the offer ot the Legion, which is almost wholly composed of ex-army men. Furthermore, tho Legion, above, all, should stand apart from the sphere of controversy. Earl Jellieoc's war record, rightly or wrongly, has been the subject of a. fiercer controversy than lias ever centred around any other British admiral. The Legion particularly needs a man of personality. It appeals to and can move a great mass of fellow-country-men. Despite his services Earl Jellicoe is not a household figure. Ho docs not, touch the heart and the imagination ol the people, nor is he of the age when fresh burdensome duties can ho successfully essaved. The one man adequately fitted to succeed Earl Haig is the Prince of Wales.”
