THE ABDICATION
A CLERGYMAN’S OUTBURST AN APATHETIC AUDIENCE. CHAOTIC, HATE-DRIVEN WORLD United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. NEW YORK, July 22. Lecturing at Baltimore for the first time in the United States, the Rev. Anderson Jardine, who performed the religious ceremony at the wedding of the Duke of Windsor, said: “ The Duke was driven from the throne by the ecclesiastical Arch-
bishop of Canterbury and a grandmotherly person called Baldwin. “ Future generations will read of the Archbishop who cursed instead of praying, of a shrieking and demented priesthood, and of one little cleric who obeyed his conscience and gave the exiled KingEmperor God’s blessing. “ History will vindicate what was done in England, sealed in France and worked out in a chaotic, hatedriven world. I believe the Duke of Windsor Is too big for one nation or Empire. The world needs him. He is the only man capable of steering the’ nations to peace.” Mr. Jardine’s audience, composed of 300 persons, listened apathetically.
