KING GEORGE'S LAST PUBLIC ACT

Touching Account By The Primate

London, January 27.. During the address at impressive broadcast memorial service last night, the Archbishop of Canterbury referred to King George's answering - devotion to duty and gave a touching account of the King's last public set.

The Primate said: "Twelve hours before his death, silting very thin and frail on his chair, he held a meeting of his Privy Council. To the order constituting the Council of State he gave in his old clear voice 'approved." -

"He was asked whether he wished to sign the order with his own hand. "Yes I have always signed myself." But his hands * could not grasp the pen. For several minutes they moved to and fro across the paper and then with the most, moving ket of his old courtesy he turned to his Council and, said: "I am very sorry to keep you waiting so long,"

A

“After a pause he added; You see I cannot concentrate."- For some minutes more his hands renewed the attempts, most » gallant and pathetic, to sign. At last he was content to make a mark and then with his old, kindly kingly smile he bade his Council farewell".

The Primate also recalled the conversation last year in which the late King "speaking to me about of loyalty which the Silver Jubilee all those diverwhelming evidences

called forth used some words so characteristic of his honesty and humility that I cannot refrain from repeating them BYCH In these surroundings.

"I seem to hear him say them now I am sure I cannot under- stand it for after all I am only a very ordinary sort of fellow."
