King George of Greece and King Peter of Yugoslavia have been “on their way” to Washington for months. - Both the Greek and the Yugoslav Legations have begun pres liminary preparations, several times for the reception of the monarchs. But the expressed desire of the two Kings to meet President Roosevelt is not likely to be fulfilled in the foreseeable future. On his return to London, Prime Minister Churchill conveyed diplo- matically to the Greek King, who was waiting for the British to ar- range transportation to America, that the trip was not timely. The chief preoccupation of the members of the Greek Legation in ‘Washington is food for the starving citizens of Greece. They had pinned great hopes on the personal presen- tation of the matter by their King to President Roosevelt. The prob- lem has been dealt with in Lon- don, however. One of the first things Mr. Churchill did on his return was to approve & plan whereby neutral Turkey would supply a quantity of wheat to the starving Greeks in re- turn for other commodities from the United States and Great Britain, Royal Visits Too Exacting. ‘The decision of the British not to undertake transportation of the Greek sovereign to the United States ‘was due to a hint from the President that royal visits are too exacting for the White House during the emergency. The welcome of the American public to the flood of refugees from Europe has been tinged with un- easiness. The presence of special pleaders for special causes—in the shape of crowned heads—has evoked a certain amount of criticism. It is far easier for the White House to defer royal visits for the time being than it would be to eliminate any of the courtesies due to the heads of those states which are fighting for the Allies. The elimination of royal visitors serves another purpose: it dis- courages the presence in Washing- ton of those to whom the President referred Friday as “parasites.” That expanding section of social ‘Washington which President Roose- velt considered worthy of a press conference dissertation is in Wash- ington for no other reason than to participate in the glamour of the wartime capital. These people do no flock to Washington to spend their days in the Mellon Art Gal- lery. The Library of Congress is full of busy readers and researchers but not one of them is ever seen at a soclal function. The Capital has no opera or ballet and only one legitimate theater. But Washington is an intoxicating city today. The spotlight of the world is focused upon it. Take Large Houses.
