THE KING’S TOUCH
EXAMPLE OF LEADERSHIP. “The magic of personal leadership was never better shown than in the King’s visit to Wales,” says the London Daily Mail. The King’s concern at the distress and his sympathy for the unemployed and poor have in two days, it says, brought a new spirit into the unhappy valleys and started a fresh chapter for the distressed areas. His compassion and energy and his stimulation of his Ministers to action are his latest contribution to democratic government, giving it a human aspect and a fresh drive.
Ministers should, as the King did, go and see for themselves and measure the problem independently, instead of appointing committees and solemnly consulting in Whitehall. Even the lethargy surrounding rearmament. Britain’s most vital need, would yield to the King Edward touch.
