The Prince of Wales will come to Palestine for the opening ceremonies of the Haifa Harbour, which will be completed by the spring of 1933, it is stated here to-day.
The Rulers of the neighbouring countries, Transjordan, Irag, Hedjaz, etc., will be present at the ceremony.
A big trade exhibition will be held in Haifa during the time of the opening of the Harbour.
The Prince of Wales was reported several years ago to have arranged to go to Palestine for the ceremony of unveiling the memorials to the British War Dead who are buried in the war cemeteries of Palestine, which took place in April 1927 during the High Commissionership of Field Marshal Lord Plumer. The Prince found himself unable, however, to carry out that arrangement.
The “Jewish Chronicle” recalled a few weeks ago, fifty years after the event, the visit of the Prince of Wales’s father, the present King, to Palestine during Passover.
