WINDSOR'S ADDRESS.
NEW YORK PRESS IN CRITICAL MOOD SPECULATIONS AS TO REASONS FOR BROADCAST (By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright) Received Tuesday, 11.20 p.m. ! NEW YORK, May 9. The New York Herald-Tribune printed the Duke of Windsor's -address on the front page, using the full text, but emphasis was placed on the circumstances of delivery rather than on what he said.
After referring to the international situation, the Herald-Tribune commented editorially: "Times are serious for Royal visitings and the somewhat illtimed messsage broadcast by the Duke of Windsor with its completely illconceived suppression by the British broadcasting monopoly, falls oddly in the midst of his brother's progress.''
The paper added: "The uneiceptionr able sentiments expressed in the speech were of a sort having little .meaning except when they come from men in positions of influence and responsibility, such as the Duke no longer holds. One could not help wondering first, why the appeal was made, and secondly why the British are still so nervous about their former Prince." Both the United Press and the Australian Associated Press understands reliably that because of London criticism, "he is beginning to act as soon as the King is out of the country.''
