Archbishop Of
Canterbury Did
Not Like Move
(Bv The Associated Press)
LONDON, Dec. 14, — The Arch
bishop of Canterbury castigated
the ‘‘social circle, in which for
mer King Edward VIII moved,
in a broadcast at the close of a
dreary, rainy Sunday, bidding
farewell to the old k.ng and wel
coming the new.
‘‘Strange it must be that for
such a motive however strongly
it was pressed upon his heart, he
should have disappointed hopes
so high and abandoned a trust
so great. Even more strange it is
that he should have sought his
happiness in a manner inconsist
ent with the Christian principles
of marriage, within a social circ
le whose standards and ways of
life are alien to all the best in
stincts and traditions of his peo
ple”, said the Archbishop.
The head of the Church of
England's castigation of Edward's
social circle, was interpreted as
a reference to»the socalled “fast
international set” with which Eld
ward delighted to fraternize and
which includes several wealthy
American women who have wed
members of the British nobility.
