As regards the succession to throne and crown, we have read in history that, at a time when Ethiopia lived in isolation and before she had established relations with foreign countries, the the prevailing custom had been, at the demise of the Emperor, for his death often to remain carefully unannounced. They would then place his son and heir on the throne and crown him immediately the very day. Only after the son's reign and coronation had been announced by proclamation, would they give a ceremonial burial to the dead King.
At other times again, at the demise of the Emperor, the officers of the royal household would take him clandestinely and bury him, before anyone could hear about it, and on the morrow they would place his son and heir on the throne; after they have conducted the royal installation service and crowned him, the death of the father and the new reign of the son would be announced by proclamation at the same time.
But now that Ethiopia had concluded treaties of commerce and friendship with twelve foreign governments, had entered the League of Nations, and had established firm friendly relations, we were convinced that it was proper-in accordance with the practice of the most civilized goverments in the case of their coronations-to invite to our coronation the countries which had set up legations and consulates in Ethiopia. But as it would require a long time to despatch the letters of invitation and to await the arrival of the delegates, as well as to make the necessary preparations for the coronation, we arranged for the ceremony to be posponed for seven months.
After this, letters of invitation were written and despatched to the kings and presidents whose names follow here:

To H.M George V, King of England, Emperor of India.
To H.M. Victor Emmanuel 111, King of Italy.
To H.M. Hirohito, Emperor of Japan..
