IGEORCE V TOO
SHY TO BECOME
GREATLEADER
Kindly Gentleman’s Royalty
Complex Not Possessed
By Son
By United Press,
Shyness prevented King George
from being one of Britain’s great
kings.
He lacked the ability to make
friends with anybody and every-
body at a minute’s notice, a qual-
ity so largely possessed by his
father King Edward, and his son,
the Prince of Wales.
He was schooled in the Victor-
ian tradition that royalty is a
thing apart, to be jealously se-
eluded from — the people, seldom
seen, a tradition, and a relic of
.the right and might of kings of
the Middle Ages.
His people knew him as a kind-
ly gentleman. They did not know
much about him. All he seemed
to i do was open bazaars, con-
ferences, lay corner stones, and
make inspiring speeches in a voice
King George Was the Best, Gentlest
And Most Beloved Ruler, Says Poet
By United Press.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.-
John Masefield, England’s poet
laureate, mourned the late King
George V of England in verse to-
day, .
Masefield, here with Mrs. Mase-
field on a world tour, composed
his sonnet of sorrow in a room at
the Biltmore Hotel, where news
of the king's death reached him.
The sonnet was entitled "His
Most Excellent Majesty, King
George V."
/“This man was king in Eng-
land’s direst need: •
."In the black-battle' years,
after hope was gone, ,
“His courage was a flag men
rallied on,
“His steadfast spirit shewed
Canada. ‘Prince George was cre-
ated Prince of Wales on the com-
pletion of that trip.
The broad facts of King
George's marriage are history. Be-
hind them is more romantic coin-
eidence than many a film director
would dare to use. *

him king indeed.
"And when the war was ended,
when the thought
“Of revolution took its hideous
place.
"His courage and his kindness
and his grace
“Scattered (or charmed) its
ministers to naught.
"No king of all our many has
been proved
"By-times so savage to the
thrones of kings,
"Or won more simple triumph
over fate:
"He was most royal among
royal things.
"Most thoughtful for the mean-
est in his state,
"The best, the gentlest, and
the most beloved." ,' ‘
excelled and seldom equalled. It
was a broad-minded, clean, heal-
thy standard that the King and
Queen set, with taboos on di-
vorce, bobbed hair and lipstick.
No breath of scandal ever blew
on the private life of the royal
family, and George sowed no wild
oats, like King Edward did, in
his youth, that might be handed
down as increasingly lurid leg-
ends.
In fact the King had a par-
ticularly drastic method for deal-
ing with scandal. Once when he
was serving in a warship in the
Mediterranean, when he was only
Prince George, a scurrilous story
was broadcast by a man named
MIHIum.' It was to the effect that
the king had married the daugh-
ter of a naval officer, and that
this "wife" was living when he
married Queen Mary
Millius was prosecuted for sedi-
tious libel, and was entirely un-
tely fond of the phonograph and
radio. He had all the records of
Gilbert and Sullivan's operas, and
spent hours listening to them.
Horse-riding was another hobby—
although more from the point of
view of physical fitness. Almost
until his death, he was to be seen
riding in -Hyde Park at 7 o'clock
in the morning, when few people
were astir.
King George was not rich as he
might have been. Queen Victoria,
in her economical way, left him
a large fortune, but it was swal-
lowed up by the World War, and
at one time he even found him-
self with a deficit on his annual
budget
. After the war his income was
$2,350,000 a year, of which only
about $45,000 was for his actual
personal use, the rest going in
household expenses and liberal
gifts to charities.
