LAST ACT

taiking, and once the Press began In this

country, a most difficult. Miuation would arise both for him and for me, and there would be the danger which both he and I had foreseen.

"The King and I talked for an 'hour on this aspect and I then went away. We had no further meetings for some little time. I tegged His Majesty to consider all that I had aald but pressed him for no kind of an answer.

"The next time I saw the King was at Buckingham Palace on Nov. 16 when the decree nisl had been pronounced in the divorce case.

QUESTION OF MARRIAGE "The King sent for me and I spoke to him for a quarter of an hour on the question of marriage. I told the King that I did not think the marriage in question would receive the approbation of the country. The marriage would involve the lady in becoming Queen

I told the King that I was cer tain that it would be, imprac- ticable for him to marry Mrs. Sir.pron and I pointed out that the position of the King's wife, was different to the position of the wife of any other citizen in the country and it was part of the price that a King had to pay that his wife becomes a Queen of the country and, therefore, in the choice of a Queen, the voice of the people must be heard I told him that on his choice would depend the safety and health of the whole State.

PREPARED TO GO

[

"The King then said that he wanted to tell me something that he had long wanted to tell me and said: "I am going to marry Mrs. Simpson and I am prepared to go." į "I said: 'Sir, that is the most grievous news and it is impossible for me to make any comment on It to-day.'

"He sent for me again on Nov. 23; meanwhile, a suggestion had been "made to me that it was possible that a compromise might be arranged to avoid the possibilities that had been approaching.. The compromise

was that the King should marry and that Parliament should pass an Act to enable the lady to be the King's wife without becoming Queen.

"The King asked me to see him On December 2 when I told him that I was afraid that the pro- position was not practicable be- cause neither in the Dominions ner in Britain would there be any Frospect or such legislation being accepted.

"The King said that he was not surprised at the answer. He be- haved as a great gentleman and never referred to the subject again. GO WITH DIGNITY-

Diverting Aspects

(Continued from Page 1)

A.K. "Greetings to ydu, Generallasimo. I come to bring you the peaceful attitude of Japan. I come, to tell you, in diploma- tle words, that all of Japan's actions towards Chins have been for China's good. You will recull the smuggling troubles of Tien- tsin?, Ahi, there's a sample of misunderstood Japan. You see, Japan feels such brotherly love toward China, that she sees little reason why it should not be reciprocated. Why pay duty and tarins to your brother country?,"

C.K.S.. "Why is it then, that every time Japanese business men are invited to form companies with those men of my coun- try, such as of lumber ills, mining enterprises and railroads, a large detachment of 'consular.police' or marines and soldiers be- gins to build a permanent barracks upon the scene?"

A.K. "This would be simply to protect Japan's interests.” C.K.S. "Protect them from what?”

A.K. "Communists and bandits,"

C.K.B. "Ah, but those menaces are all to the far north. And why Is It Ambassador, that a thousand marines of your nation have chosen for a pretext to land themselves on our shores, the strike in factories employing Chinese?"

A.K. "The factory owners are Japanese."

CKS. Is the landing of the marines going to help settle- ment? And why are'nt the owners Chinese? This is China." "Or is there some other unseen pretext for the presence of the marines?"

C.KS. "Well, my friend; my experience with Japan is that she invariably has half a dozen schemes for advancement and re-trenchment in China going on at the same instant. Where

sbe yields a mile, along her uninvited and elastic front, in China, elsewhere she will advance three miles.”

A.K. "But all this is progress for China." -

CKS. "How so? It appears to me that it's only progress for. the Japanese!"

AK. "Time alone will tell. And it seems to me that this conversation is becoming dangerously un-diplomatic."

CKS. "Yes, I agree on the score of both statements. Time will tell, indeed. (C.K.S; to himself: "By that time I'll be well organized") and as for becoming un-diplomatic, yet most conver- sations do, when the" interests the heart interests of a country are at stake,"

A.K. "Those of Japan?"

CKS. "Hirdly, Ambassador, but those of China." A.K. "Well, say that it is of both countries. They are as brothers, you know.":

C.KS. “Yes, indeed. ire'n they!"
