through the evening it seemed to me
that the whole significance of the
personalities of these two before me
the two most-talked-of people in the
world-became clearer and more un-
derstandable than would have been
made possible by the reading of thou
sands of abstract words.
OF those two personalities, each
of which so completely compliments
the other, / shall write more in sue
ceeding installments of this series.

CANNES, France, December IL
Letters threatening Wallis Warfield
Simpson for causing the abdication
of Edward VIII are still being re-
ceived at the Riviera villa here where
she is staying. a spokesman said today.
Mrs Simpson herself, he said, tore
up many OF the letters, spurning sug-
gestions that some Of the more violent
ones be turned over to the police.
Mrs. Simpson. it was said, "is not
afraid OF the poison-pen writer's and
delights In tearing up the letters her
self Ito show her contempt for that
sort Of thing"
She hoped, however, that the mail
would dwindle because Of the strict
seclusion in which she chooses to re-
main. 1t was said her hope was that
the public would forget her and her
romance which shook an empire.

CABINET OF
BRITAIN SEEN

LONDON, April 6. (U.P)-A COM
plete reconstruction of the cabinet
by which both Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin and Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden would take
new posts, was reported today as
likely to occur early in June.
A special political correspondent
OF the Daily Mail said the recon-
Struction was planned after the
Whitsuntide Bank holiday June l.
Baldwin, the correspondent said,
had decided to resign because of
increasing deafness and probably
would become lord president of
the council. He would be succeed
ed, the correspondent said, by
Neville Chamberlain, chancellor Of
the eXchequer.
Sir Samuel Hoare, who was
forced to resign as foreign Secre-
tary because he sponsored the
Hoare-Laval plan for settlement
of the Italian Ethiopian war,
would be brought back to the
cabinet in Chamberlain's present
job, it was reported. Lord Halifax,
Lord Privy Seal, or Sir Robert
Horne, former chancellor of the
exchequer, would succeed Eden in
the foreign ministry, the CORES
pondent suggested, and Eden
might become secretary of state of
India. Ramsay Macdonald, ma
tional labor party leader who is
lord president of the council, prob
ably would become lord privy seal,
the correspondent said.
