This dispatch Ir from the lawn
i Windsor, which surrounds the
my al residence Hint In Windsor
Castle. The towers ol Windsor cas
tin ut practically within sight al
Buckingham palace on a clear day.
Alter reading the dispatch, I think
you will agree Dmt It could have
fome from NOWHERE IN THE
WORLD save England:
, "Britain Raid Iiirewcll to George
VI today In great outpouring ol
sorrowlul grnndeur, mid burlrd
him hers ut Windsor with a hymn
i-'it trlumphul faith.
"Elizabeth IT, queen at 25, led
the nation' final homage to her
(nther. For 2'4 hour ihc rode In
n horse-drawn csrrlago behind the
collln to the dirge ol Urn bnndii,
while more than million Briton,
packed lightly along the chill
street ol London, bowed In rever
ence." ,
Why could Ihut dispatch have
come only from Englund?
Here la why:
Because ONLY IN OREAT
BRITAIN, In the world ot today,
has there been a ruler, or a lend
er, who commanded the Inllh and
the trust and the utter renpect ol
nln people no completely an to cal
forth by hi death the sincere and
genuine outpouring of aorrow hai
that followed tlx death of Oeorge

Thl nlxth George wasn't a par
ticularly great man. The thing that
endeared him to hln people wan
the unlvernallv recounted fact
that he waa A GOOD MAN. Be
cause he wan a good man. they
trusted him. Because they trunted
him. they loved him. Because they
loved him, they aorrow deeply and
genuinely because he la gone.
Did voti happen to see a pic

denture. It wann't Just staged to

They WERE PRAYINQ FOR
THEIR KINO. The expression on
their facea left no doubt what
ever of their atncerlty.
That wan the way Oeorge VI
