Annual Royal Poetry Reading

Fukuda Will Try
King’s English

TOKYO. — “I’m going to use
my King’s English” in internati­
onal telephone talks with U.S.
recently President-elect
Jimmy
Carter, said Prime Minister Ta­
keo Fukuda.
Fukuda told reporters recently
he met and talked with Carter
last year and “We conversed in
English”. I hope to keep my En­
glish as long as possible.”
He said he learned his “King’s
English” as an economic officer
at the Japanese embassy in Lon­
don “years ago.”
Then, with a laugh, he added.
T’ll exchange greetings in Eng­
lish” and acknowledged that-when
it came to substantial
matters
he would rely on an interpreter.
“Naturally, there must be no
mistakes cm official
matters,”
the 71-year old premier said.
