SOME kings never know when they are well off. Take former King George of Greece, for instance. He is living in the style of a Chicago boot-legger in London and treated like a real king. And yet he admits his willingness to sit on his former throne, where he will undoubtedly find a three-foot task awaiting him. George said: "I have no personal desire for the throne of Greece, but if it is for the good of my country, then I am willing to return at any time." Our advice, George, is to stay where you are until you see the British workers giving the gate to J. H. Thomas, Ramsay MacDonald and Philip Snowden. Then you might be justified in taking on a job as papal ambassador in Mexico.
