ROYAL EXAMPLE
UNWAVERING COURAGE CONTRAST TO DICTATORS (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, Oct. 7, The contrast between the dictators’ “ two monstrously armoured trains trundling to Brenner and the British King riding through the streets of his bomb-ridden capital escorted by two motor cycle policemen ” is drawn by the New York HeraldTribune. After remarking that the royal couple are doing as much by the example they set of unwavering courage, smiling self-discipline, and by their genuine heartfelt interest in the plight of their people as are any servants or rulers in Government, the newspaper adds that the toppling, of European thrones and the supposed impotency of others make the world look with wonder at the great Empire which provides the paradox of a strong democracy and a strong monarchy skilfully, naturally and effectively complementing each other.
