...chorus but itching John Rorke was responsible. The chance had been too good, the moment too irresistibly apt, for his British sense of humor. Within 30 seconds every telephone line into the modernistic, ship-shaped B. B. C. Building was jammed with the furious complaints of British radio listeners who had never before heard "Mrs. Simpson'' uttered on the air. The Duke of Windsor in his B. B.

At these words, venerable Kunimatsu Hamada, a leader of the Seiyukai (minority party), rose to his feet, hurled with tacit approval of the majority party (the Minseito) furious accusations that the Army leaders aim at Fascism, that the Cabinet are "mere Army puppets!" To retort, up jumped fiery War Minister Count Terauchi. Amid civilian hoots and catcalls he said...
