COMMENT ON WORLD NEWS (Continued from Page 1) published in 1829, and contains a collection of more or less ancient s, Kantele" Finnish Lyre). (The Respect for truth and honesty in Finland were taught centuries ago by an old saying: Ox by his horn, and man by his word." Patience and perseverance lessons were not forgotten. It came in the story of Paavo Saarijarvi, a peasant, who planted and for several years did not reap because of the killing frosts that destroyed his crops. Patiently he continued to plant until favorable weather gave him a chance to reap bountiful crops. Paavo in his trials said, Trust and persevere and the Lord will not forsake." A beautiful example, indeed. folk-song- - A HAPPY NEW YEAR - 1937 Americans who had thought that in England a kings word was supreme were taught with detailed care that government there operates very much as here, that after all, Britain is very much of .a democracy and that Canada, Australia and the other members of the commonwealth have as much, or more, independence as Texas or California. Millions of Americans feel they understand Britain much better. And a closer feeling between English speaking peoples is not a bad thing for trade and if war comes well, use your own judgment. David Windsor, you are the worlds master salesman, par excellence! You deserve to live happily ever after!

Master Salesman What David Windsor did foi Britain" is a much discussed question these days. Part of the labor press in America, the Utah Labor News among them, believes that the Baldwin government did not want one so democratic as David Windsor on the throne of England. Mrs. Simpson, by chance or otherwise, just fitted into the picture at the right moment to make the ousting easy for those actually in power. Others feel that for a long time David has not enjoyed the idea of being king, that he has felt that the day of kings has passed. These observers feel that David welto step comed this opportunity down, although they do not for a moment doubt the genuineness of his love for Wally. A few extremists sav that there will never be another British coronation, that revolutionary forces subtly at work will cause an upset in England before such an event can come to pass. But regardless of the rightness or wrongness of these viewpoints, David Windsor has done a master stroke of business along his usual line. As we have sized him up, David Windsor has for years been a master salesman par excellence. He has ever been selling Britain to the world. Stepping down from the throne of the mighty from the vantage of the point of ruler of he showed that worlds peonle even now all men need not be lustful for power that life holds greater things. How small must those men feel who connive and scheme for power and peH. in the light of his great act. They were crowded off the front pages for a time and into a smaller niche for all time in the estimate of fully rounded men. In considering this man able to the renounce power for love world will consider more, not less as time goes on, that he was Britain bred. But David Windsor has been selling Britain to the world during the past few months in other ways His visits to the underprivileged working classes of Waes proves tW, the problems of those whrt toil have not gone unnoticed in the empire, that their needs even reached the feelings of a king who resolved that something should be done about it. But David Windsor did a far Hgger selling iob than anything heretofore mentioned. Bv his great act he forced the sootlipht5 of tVp world on the inner workings of British economic and political life.
