Cowards, Poltroons, Jellyfish! Next, with Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and the whole of His Majesty's Government looking flushed and uncomfortable-ex-cepting Sir Samuel Hoare - the Rt. Hon. David Lloyd George bounded to his feet, shook his fist deliberately at Eden, then at Baldwin and led members of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition in calling the British Cabinet "cowards . . . poltroons . . . jellyfish . . . skulkers . . . flying fleas...
Trustees of the People. During this scathing arraignment, the Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin had turned as red as Captain Eden, but when he rose to reply the Prime Minister was white with controlled fury.

He was received in audience by Edward VIII. His Majesty's discerning former private secretary, Sir Godfrey Thomas...
...established a $10,000,000 fund to aid British charities he called it the "Pilgrim Trust." Best of all he likes to scatter his largesse in out-of-the-way places. He has given $500,000 to California's Save-the-Red-woods League, $2,500 to Mrs. Stanley Baldwin to buy anesthetics for maternity hospitals. He once persuaded Great Britain to run a smelly motor highway around Grantchester because that village had been the home of Poet Rupert Brooke. He has built two hospitals, Columbia University's $7,500,000 Medical Centre and a $600,000 dispensary...
