PRINCE OK WALES. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). (Received this day at 1.5 p.m.' LONDON, Feb. 0. The Prince of Wales spent half an hour in tlu* Commons, giving Air Baldwin bis impressions of bis tour of the mining areas. GOYERNAI ENT ATTITUDE. REVELATIONS CAUSE CONSTERNATION. LONDON, February 6. The “ Daily Herald ” says following tbe Prince of Wales interview with Air Baldwin, it was decided that the Prince will not visit South Wales coalfield. A detailed report, resulting from the Prince’s visit to Northumberland and Durham, which was piepared for publication, lias not been published, and may never lie published. Copies have gone to the Departments concerned. Ti e contents proved most unpalatable to the Government. Revelations arising from the Prince of Wales tour barf caused.'consternation with the mine owners, with whom tiie Prince is at present unpopular. Even before he returned to London, a regular newspaper barrage was started with a view to discounting as far as possible the conditions of the miners, which the Prince’s tour put under a searchlight. The Afinistrv of Labnir’s official figures show that 213.000 miners arcunemployed. What the Prince of Wales says can be (lupinated many times in every coalfield. No suppression or whitewash can alter that.
