It is to be hoped that all West Vancouver will be out to give them the heartiest of welcomes. Like his ,late father, the King wears well. In each case it took a national crisis to reveal both o f them to their millions of .subiects in all their sterling sim plicity of character and desire for the happiness o f those they rule by serving. Each, entirely untrained for kingship, was called to the throne vacated by a successor trained alm ost from birth for that hijfh office, more brilliant in intellect and singularly gifted with that flaire for capturing the hearts of all. We do not wish to dect^ the Duke of Windsor now or at any other tinle. He had h is reasons, some of which doubtless; we shall never know, for stepping down' f^om the throne, and to him they seemed so cogent as t o demand his, retirement into private life. ■ , But it required courage of a high order for his younger brother to suddenly step into th e breach, a courage greater than that which he showed at Jutland, when he "^as mentioned ill despatches. Duty called, and, knowing that the fate of an empire was at stake, he answered the call of duty, as he had ever done. For to suppose that the Empire^would hold together without a king is the veriest nonsense," as every thinking person realizes. ' ; There is little doubt that he w as helped to his"decision by the good counsels of Queen Elizabeth, like him untrained for the high office so suddenly thrust upon her. HoW well and truly in her gracious w ay she has helped to win the .love and respect of all their subjects the world knows today. They did not have to,, become K ing and Queen. They do riot'have to live their lives .under, the fierĉ ̂ of the._light., _ which ever plays around a throne. They are not compelled to travel ten thousand miles alm ost w ithout a stop7and to take the leading parts in a round of ceremonies. All this because both have sufficient private means to order their lives in the way which most appeals to them. Yet for the Empire's sake and for our s^kes they took the throne,' a throne without pdwer but without which-alt^ower^iPUld ceasei^.' - •-. > - - These are the things which should be uppermost in our minds when they come to W est Vancouver next Monday.
