SHOULD THE DUKE OF WINDSOR RETURN?
A TEST VOTE TAKEN MAJORITY SAYS “YES” [By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) Received Jan. 3, 10.40 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 3. “Would you like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to return and live in England?” was a question the British Institute of Public Opinion put to a representative cross-section of the British public. Sixty-one per cent, answered “yes,” sixteen “no,” and twenty-three expressed no opinion. “All the different groups questioned,” says the News-Chronicle, “returned roughly the same majority vote, except the wealthy section of the population, where only 40 per cent, voted for the return, 24 against and 36 per cent, expressed no opinion.” The News-Chronicle adds: “Perhaps the wealthy, representing mainly the governing Conservative classes, fear that the Duke’s return will prove a disturbing factor.”
