...minority, but the sorest lot of all, are Poland's peasants. There are 20,000,000 of them, 5,000.000 of whom are continually unemployed. Few can read, some in Galicia do not know that the Emperor Franz Joseph is dead and that they are no longer Austrian subjects. To them salt is like gold dust, bread like caviar. But last week peasant boys were stolidly shuffling to mobilization centres, farmers were sending their only horses to bolster the country's cavalry-minded army...

...hundred others. They rule over millions of British soft hats, tens of millions of caps and hundreds of millions of Indian noddles. Members of the British Royal Family have long had this basic reality embedded in their natures, and last week in King Edward VIII's hour of sorest indecision it tipped the scales. He left England as the eldest son who has locked a rattling skeleton in the Empire's closet and thrown away the key. Not ungrateful to opportune Winston Churchill, who had offered and sought to form a party of "King...
