Difficult

Should Germans be invited to next year's meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, at Oxford? It was a difficult question, and one which would have taxed to the uttermost the adroitness of the Association's President, H.R.H. Edward of Wales.

Fortunately for him, it is a cherished prerogative of constitutional monarchs to leave decisions to others. So--without troubling the traveling President--the question was taken under advisement by a committee, which reported 21-13 in favor of issuing the invitations.
