...tune with ancient tradition Lord Hugh was installed last week in the presence of the genial and patriarchal Dean of Windsor representing King Edward VIII, Eton's Fellows, scholarly Eton Headmaster Claude Aurelius ('The Emperor") Elliott, and 1,100 top-hatted Etonians. Up to the outer doors of School Yard walked Lord Hugh with stately, processional steps. His three knocks on the great oak door significantly implied that the Fellows of Eton need not admit the King's nominee unless they wanted to. The Fellows, though, had decided that they wanted Lord Hugh, admitted him. Crossing School...
...drove off in a carriage drawn by six prancing bays, guarded before and behind by cavalry & the Viceroy's Body Guard, their tunics eddying in glittering waves of scarlet. All this might have fallen flat, but the new Viceroy, after taking the oath in Durbar Hall-where new Emperor Edward VIII has the pleasure in store of sitting on India's golden Throne (see cut, p. 22)- the Marquess of Linlithgow made a radio broadcast which can be compared in its surprising effect only to the "fireside talks" with which friendly "Frank"' Roosevelt kindled nationwide acclaim...

Over these the Viceroy must reign for Edward VIII with that blameless private life and awful magnificence which British school children are taught to see in His Majesty the King & Emperor. Last week it became the function of Lord Linlithgow to see that each of the Indian Princes who must sign a so-called "Instrument of Accession" in order for his State to enter the Indian Federation actually takes pen in hand and signs. For this purpose the Viceroy last week...
...politically preadolescent that to be moving in India toward heeding the voice of the people or letting them decide anything at all is to move, for the Orient, fast. The Chinese people have no effective suffrage and in Japan masterful forces of Dictatorship in the name of the Emperor have made Japanese elections a mockery today. The new written Constitution of India is hundreds of years behind the unwritten Constitution of the United Kingdom which features at the same time Democracy and Monarchy; but the Indian people under the sort of Father which the new Viceroy is trying...
