"RATHER DIFFICULT"
DUKE'S POSITION
A LONDON COMMENT
LONDON, July 9
In a commmentary from London on the appointment, Mr. Vernon Bartleet, M.P., said that the mass of the people in England remembered him for his services during and after the last war-, and wished him well. His position had become rather difficult since that part of Europe in which he preferred to live had come under Nazi control, and they had used his name in their propaganda. "Opinion here is that nothing more becomes him than his readiness as a soldier to obey orders," said Mr. Bartleet. "A vacancy occurred for an officer of his rank, and he accepted it at once as an officer."
