The bat- tle cruiser Renown, on which the prince made his voyage to New Zealand gnd Australia last year, was waiting at Portsmouth for the roysl passenger to arrive from London. Plans formulated for the Geparture of the prince from this city contemplated the presence of only members of the royal family at the station, but throngs gathered about the building cheered him and wished him ‘‘God-speed.”’ 5 The Renown will land the prince at Bombay in which city will begin a ser- ies of formal functions arranged in ev- ery city he will visit. Following his progress through India .the prince will go to Japan where he will return the visit in England of Crown Prince Hir- ohito who returned to Tokio recently from a journey thaat took him to Lon- don, Paris and Rome. Anxiety over the prince’s journey has been caused by the troubled politi- cal conditions in Great Britain’s empire] in the east. The possibility of an at- tack on him is minimized here but it is feared .the Indian nationalists, led by Mahatma Ghandi, will carry out their threat to call strikes in each city visited by the iparty.
