With the dazzling candor of exalted birth he has said, "I prefer brawn to brains." He honestly thinks brainy people queer, commands ten languages, likes dancing, tennis, shooting, prizefights, the circus, slapstick at the Palladium and ginger ale with his meals. Untroubled by minor inconsistencies, he is a Mason, Greek Orthodox and divorced-all in good standing. Until last week he has been rather careful with his fortune of $100,000.

This august candor, of course, quickened the war-scared flight of hoarded gold from London to Manhattan, despite the fact that on arrival it had to be converted into Roosevelt Dollars, with little assurance of possible reconversion into gold and shipment back to Europe later (TIME, Oct. 7). Well might so mad a state of affairs make the Governor of the Bank of England howl, but the Chancellor of Britain's Exchequer is icy Neville Chamberlain, and last week this hook-nosed paragon of Conservatism favored the same London banquet with his stiff upper...
