Withdrawn Book To Be Published In America
New York, To-day.
The American publishers of Geoffrey Denis’ book, "Coronation Commentary," which has caused such a stir in England, are not following the exam- ple of the British publishers in withdrawing the publication from circulation.
DECISION TO RELEASE THE BOOK FOR SALE WAS TAKEN AT A CONFERENCE OF EXECUTIVES OF DODD, MEAD AND COMPANY, THE AMERICAN PUBLISHERS, IN NEW YORK YESTERDAY.
William Heinemann, Ltd., the English publishers, withdrew the book following threat of a libel action by the Duke of Windsor's solicitor.
Stopping
Chief objection to the publica-Radio
tion was two chapters headed "Ed- ward VIII" and "Abdication."
Announcing the reason for their decision in releasing the book for sale in the United States, Dodd, Mead and. Com- pany yesterday stated in New York the "book is intended to be a fair presentation of the meaning of British Democràcy in the past century in its re- lations to the King.

This step was recommended as long ago as last July by a special
the Institution committee of
of Electrical Engineers, on which the Post Office and the B.B.C. were re- presented.
BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT. "No-one can read the book with- out realising the author's bitter disappointment, shared by millions of his countrymen, over the sensa- tional circumstances of the abdi- cation, or without feeling that, all things considered. he has treated the Duke of Windsor with the ut-categories: most fairness."-Reuter.
