References to his Abdication, his tour of Ger- many and his plans for the future, were made by the Duke of Windsor in a speech at a luncheon ten- dered in his honour by the Anglo-American Press Club in Paris yesterday.

Turning to his German visit, the Dake declared it had been inter- esting as well as instructive, and that he and his wife were looking forward to their journey to the United States and other comm- tries in order to investigate indus- tries of the large nations of the world, and especially housing con- ditions of workers.

He assured his listeners that he was undertaking the tour as an in- dependent observer on his own ini tiative.

Referring to his general plans for the future, the Duke declared: "You all are acquainted with the circumstances which led to the ac- tion of last December, and the forces which influenced my decim sion.
