This writer cannot do better than remark “ihem are my sentiments", as curiously enough. after reading 11 rubbish published in one of the ipeal

Although it would appear to be the runtom in recent years for the British Press to criticar, abuso and offer unsollelled advice to the Royal Family, It is nonetheless disconcerting that your own, usually moder- ale and well-balanced news- paper should suddenly see lit to print a highly condemna- lory and strongly prejudiced editorial on the subject of the Duke of Windsor.
