What enables the King to play the important and most
useful part he does play in affairs of State is character. No one dis- trusts him. No one is afraid of being let down by him. No one ever dreams of the King trying to take for himself the credit which belongs to others. Hence he can accomplish tasks which other men would find impossible. The American people, when they realize the part played by the King, will not fail to show their appreciation. There is nothing they respect more than disinter- estedness.

He is showing daily that the Sovereign has a real and most useful place in our crowned Republic. _ _
