BELITTLING THE PRINCE.

STRONG RESENTMENT. London, February 20. The “Evening Standard” says thiil since his speech in the House of Commons Mr Kirkwood has received three hundred letters of vehement against his atlaek on the Prince of Wales. Some of these threaten Mr Kirkwood that he will quietly disappear some night and never be heard of again. LABOUR LEADER’S OPINION. London, February 20. Mr J. R. Clynes, in a speech at IToniclmrc.h, said the Clydesiders' attack on the Prince of Wales showed that Labour, had the gift of taking an unpopular course without just cause to an advantage to itself. Mr Kirkwood, without consulting the party, took his own line of action and members of the party, including the leader, were then asked why they did not follow the mover into the lobby. This was a comic conception of discipline loyalty. The Prince’s journey was not a pica sin o but an act. of public duty to the Empire, over which one day he might reign. The Prince was no more to blame for the Clydeside conditions than any Commoner. In alluding to criticism of the Prince of Wales’ tour, Mr Ramsay MacDonald said: “If we officially send a representative to the Dominions, or to a foreign country, whether he is John Smith or the Prince, we should pay expenses. It is not consistent with self-respect for a people or a party to sav: You go and pay out of your own pocket.’ We are too big for that sort of thing.
