DEATH OF

OF FAMOUS FORMER VICEROY

LORD WILLINGDON, KNOWN AS “THE MAN WHO CANNOT RETIRE,” DIED YES- TERDAY AFTERNOON. HE HAD BEEN ILL WITH PNEUMONIA.

One of the few members of the House of Commons to have achieved the distinction of a Marquesate, a reward for his decades of service, Lord Willingdon will be chiefly re- membered for his work in India, where as Viceroy he had to deal with Gandhi's civil disobedience campaign at its height.

Lord Willington refused to make any compromise until civil disob- edience was called off and abso- lutely rejected all Gandhi'n at-: tempts to enter into negotiations. "I CAN SEE NO POINT," HE SAID, "IN ARGUING WITH ONE | WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE RE- |CEIVED A DIRECT ORDER

FROM GOD."
