Contempt And Ridicule
SIMPSON QUEEN
DSAVE THE KING
Although the British Press had, until last week, imposed a voluntary censorship upon itself regarding the King and Mrs. Ernest Simpson, yet the Press of the United States of America paid characteristic disregard to the ethical code observed by Bri- tish Journalists, and for some considerable time the Yankee news- sheets have been plastered with flaring headlines which, for the most part, treat this whole affair with contempt and ridicule.
Apparently everywhere in the U.S.A. this subject Bas raised a "big laugh," and this photograph, re-produced from an American newspaper of wide circulation, will convey some idea of the depth and extent of the contempt and ridicule which some foreigners manifest in words, and deeds expressive of their feelings. ›
