(By J. V. McAree in Globe and Mail) Sone months ago we were shown a. letter written by Beverley Baxter to a. friond in Tcron:o. He spoke about -the intention of the King to marry Mrs Simpson and said that Baldwin would resign. That was at a time when only a few thousard people in the British Isles had ever heard of Mrs. Simpson. As a nember of the House of Commons, a former editor of a great London newsâ€" paper, to say nothing of his screen afâ€" filiations, Mr. Baxter is in an extraâ€" ordinarily favourable position to know all that went on in those exciting days after the scandal became public, as well as what went before. He has broken down and told all in Maclean‘s magaâ€" zine. We may say that the issue conâ€" taining the story was as hard to get aftâ€" ter it had been on the stands a couple of days as if it had been seized by the police. So great was the demand for it that The Financial Post republished the Baxter story, which is something exâ€" tremely rare if nclt unique in the anâ€" nals of Canadian weekly publications. Ard as Foster Hewitt might say a smart play by Napier Moore and Floyd Chalâ€" mers. Really an Adventuress Mr. Baxter writes: "I refuse to beâ€" lieve, with the sentimentalists, that this is a love affair of such depth that even the story of Tristan and Isolde loses some of its glamour in comparison. On the lady‘s part I have yet ito be conâ€" vinced that love is even an important factor. We should face the truth. King Edward did not abdicate the Throne in crder to marry Mrs. Simpson. He abdiâ€" cated because, in his own opinion, his actions rendered him unfit to ozccupy the throre of Britain any longer." Mr. Baxter‘s comments on the Simpsons are, he says, restrained because they are old acquaintances. Of Mrs. Simpson he writes: "She is not the type of woâ€" man who has ever excited me unduly, as her vivacity outpaces her intellectual development, and her eagerness to keep things from dragging is apt to have a contrary effect." He is convinced that she did not want to divorce her husâ€" band, being content to remain the King‘s favourite. But her husband would not amiably accept the role of cuckold. He could not divorce his wife in England but he might have done so in the United States, and this course was being urged upon him. In Love With Herself Then it was that Mrs. Simpson deâ€" cided that she had better do the divoreâ€" ing. A few days after this had been deâ€" cided upon husband and wife met in o y ° N 884855 8 4 % "A A\S%\N\S\S.\S\%\S\SX\S\\\S\\\\\_\\\\.\? o 4 * * 4 U ENE N EU *sSS * 4 / tAAA SAAA SA 4444 4 * 4 4 *4 * * *4 L* L* 4* * * * * * * *‘ Noticeâ€"On double feature programmes coming to our theatres, we request our patrons to attend the theatre not later than 8.00 p.m. for the Second Show if they desire to see the full show.

He says there was absolutely no response anywhere to the effort to esâ€" tablish a King‘s party. Even the efforts of the Beaverbrook and Northcliffe press were as unequal to the task as Churchill and Mosley. But at the last moment. in the ocpinion of Mr. Baxter, the King did nrncé abdicate because of ‘his infatuation. It was because he saw himself in his true light, unfit to folâ€" low in the footsteps of his father. He said: "I am not fit to be King. My broâ€" ther is much better than I."‘ Late on the fatal night he confided over the telephone to one of his closest friends that his heart was broken. and uttered one of the oldest cries of humanity, "FTool, fool, fool."
