VISIT DENOUNCED
MR. HANNEN SWAFFER'S
OPINION
NEW YORK, November 3.
| Declaring that they will embarrass every Briton they meet, Mr. Hannen Sv/affer, the English journalist and dramatic critic, before sailing for England denounced the decision of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to visit the United States. He said: "I accompanied the Duke of. Windsor when he studied housing in Wales, and if he were half a century in the United States he would know no more than he does now. He is just a middle-aged man married to a middle-aged, publicity-crazy woman. Her. former home at Baltimore is the best show throughout America. I stood in the Jucky bath. In my opinion the Duke ought to put her back in it." Mr. Swaffer was referring to the bath allegedly used by the Duchess in which the majority of visitors stand or sit "for luck."
