*Year ago Freeman Freeman-Thomas, Lord Willingdon was Governor General of Canada. It is an open secret in London that he was personally picked for the viceroyalty by George V. No one objected. During the War Lord Willingdon served in India as Governor of Bombay, is typically British where Indians are concerned. Today he keeps a far tighter reign as Viceroy than did his immediate predecessor Lord Irwin, who became known as "friendly to Gandhi."
