GREAT BRITAIN: Still the Same

“Universally my father’s great qualities have been appreciated and valued,” cried Edward VIII this week in His Majesty’s first broadcast as King. “It now falls upon me to succeed him and to carry on his work. I am better known to most of you as the Prince of Wales, as a man who, during the War and since, has had the opportunity of getting to know the people of nearly every country of the world under all conditions and circumstances, and although I now speak to you as the King, I am still that same man who has that experience and whose constant effort it will be to continue to promote the well-being of his fellowmen. May the future bring peace and understanding throughout the world, prosperity and happiness to business people, and may we be worthy of the heritage which is ours.”
