Because she loathes and despises Prime Minister James Rarmsay MacDonald she keeps on her elaborate steam yacht The Liberty, once the property of the not quite so eccentric Joseph Pulitzer, an elaborate electric sign to blaze across the harbors of Britain: DOWN WITH MACDONALD THE TRAITOR! Only with the greatest of difficulty could the manager of her paper, the famed Saturday Review, persuade her to withdraw the most libelous portions of a personal attack she had written on Prime Minister MacDonald.
