No Right To Question King’s Choice.

Press Association —Copyright. Palmerston North, Dec. 7. An old Maori chief stated today that the fact that two apparently unworthy men had been rejected by Mrs Simpson was no justification for those who now sought to separate her from the most honoured man in the world. According to Maori custom and tradition no loyal subject had the right to question the King’s choice of a life partner. To do so would be regarded as an act of disloyalty punishable by death. Whether the King married Mrs Simpson or not, by his love she has under Maori custom become Queen of the Maoris.
