For three weeks, he crossed Canada back and forth, travel- ling a total of 9,000 miles and seeing for himself, Canada's north. He ate buffalo burgers in Yellowknife and fished for salmon in Labrador, leaving the "stuffed shirts" entirely out of his itinerary. Six years later, he was set. ting another trend, again this time in Canada. That was the first time the Duke of Edin. burgh held a news conference, and he quickly showed his brisk, Incisive mind, He also- demonstrated that he was not afraid to answer any question, even if it might prove embar- rassing to other members of the Royal family, Like him or not, you must admit that the Prince had hu- manized the throne and made his presence felt in almost ev- ery field of British life, His biting tongue has offend- ed many, yet he wins admira- tion for his breezy manner. Following his recent trip to Canada, the Prince was asked to appear on British television and answer questions from leading newspapermen. - While in Canada, he had sug- gested that if Canadians don't like monarchy, then they should get rid of it. . agree that journalists The newsmen tried to get him to say the same thing about the monarchy for Britain but when that failed, he was asked to explain his stand in Canada. "I think if you are going to discuss if the monarchy is val- id, you ought to say that we have a better system that we would like to put in its place," - he said. "And I have yet to hear from anybody who has actually produced a better sys- tem that would be acceptable. I think that Canada is in a totally different situation. As you know, it has the added difficulty of having a Province of Quebec which is French- speaking and Catholic, and really different in many res. pects from the rest of Canada. And this is-the thing that until recently, was well under con- trol, but at the moment it is not so well under control. I think before we discuss doing away with one system, let's think of. a better one. That's why I told them if they had an alternative, for goodness sake, speak up." Then the newsmen switched to their favorite topic. They asked: "How much truth is there in this widely reported feeling of your dislike of news- paper people." The reply: "I don't know if there is truth in it at all. 1 think you will be the first to and newspaper people are very touchy and they don't like being contradicted, and they don't like being made fun of and they don't like having their legs pulled, and if you say something that is meant to be funny and if they deliber- ately take it seriously, it immediately looks as if you dislike them." Such honesty is refvesling from a public figure. In 1955, he shook up the annual ban. quet of the Royal College of Surgeons at Edinburgh. The president of this dignified and impressive group had deliv- ered a formal talk, concluding with a presentation to the guest of honor. "And now sir, may it please your Royal Highness to accept this bleeding cup?" the presi- dent said, offering a silver utensil used by doctors years ago in bleeding their patients. With a twinkle in his eye, the Prince replied: "I can only say--it's bloody kind of you." A few years later, he told British businessmen when the economy was on rock ground: "Gentlemen, I think it about time we pulled our fingers out." } And in answer to press criti. cism, he quipped that the Lon. don Daily Express was - "a bloody awful newspaper." The 48-year-old Prince ob- viously is not' mellowing as he nears middle age. And his in. fluence is spreading. The can- cellation of the Queen's Christ- mas broadcast is the latest ex- . ample. Philip, who writes his own speeches, just doesn't feel the broadcast does the job, "Somehow or other we have to find a better technique, so we thought we would take this year off and search our head and see if we can do something better."
