(Eeceived 14, 8.45 a.m.) LONDON, May 13. The Daily Telegraph says: "Never were a King and Queen more worth homage, respeet, loyalty and love. As they acknowledged yesterday the crowd 's salutations they seemed to return smile for emile and hlessing for blessing. Their personal devotion to one another as they rode side by side was delightful to witness, and as both 'shared the day's triumph, so each for the other halved its burden. Any misgivings regarding the future that lingerea in nervous minds can now be regarded as effectually dispelled by yesierday's. manifestation of joyous loyalty. We now know that in their inmost souis the King and Queen will never fail their peoples. Let us see to it that we fail neither of them ourselves. " The Daily Herald says: "It is as an overwhelming demonstration of national unity that yesterday will be remembercd in British history. In totalitarian States, national demonstrations at'e demonstrations of one creed over all others. They are demonstrations of a Government, whereas yesterday ;s was the demonstration of a people. That is the answer to those critics of the Coronation who object to it because they say it represents a sham unity which does not exist. Th© King is neither a dietator nor a party man. He is a, constitutional King in a ParJiamentary democracy.
