CONVERTED BY PRTNCE.
(United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.)
LONDON, April 20,
The Prince of AVales has converted Air A. Cook, the Secretary of the Miners’ Federation.
“I am still in theory a Republican. Imt the* Prince of AVales has been the chief factor in destroying mv Republicanism.” was Air Cook's striking declaration in a “Daily Sketch” interview.
Mr Cook added; “Iv’e departed from my own revolutionary opinions because /the 'Prince departed fre/n the orthdox conduct of royalty. Tf he were not the Prince of Males, lie would still he a great social worker, a reformer, and probably of the same party as myself. A year ago this statement would have been received with hooting and indignation at any Labour meeting. To-day, it is received with cheers.”
Cook declared that, through the Prince of "Wales’s wonderful work on liehalf of the miners, the question of the monarchy bad ceased to be an issue, in the working class movement. He added: “Tt has made the British Throne the safest in the world, and himself the safest man m Tsntain.”
Afr Cook has thus handsomely recanted his oft-expressed opinion that “Devolution in England is inevitable!”
