Princess Margaret Decides

There is not Mlucn lett 10 say OF
Princess Margaret's decision not to marry
Group Captain Peter Townsend. For the
Princess has Just about said IT all and
she has said 1t with dignity which
shames the controversy that sWirled
around her much -talked-of romance.
The Princess could have renounced
her rights Of succession and married Cap
tain Townsend despite his divorce Had
she chosen to do this, neither the canons
OF the Church of England nor the COM
mands Of the Royal Marriage Act Of 1772
would have stood for moment In the
wayof popular Endorsement of her choice.
But the Princess preferred the hard
decision. A deeply religious and consci-
entious person, she resolved to put aside
personal happiness IN difference to athe
church's teaching that Christian mar
riage Is indissolublen and to my duty 70
the Commonwealth. Z
Those who feel that these considera-
tions have combined to produce result
that Is excessively harsh may be right.
Surely II Is result which cuts across
the trend Of these times. Still, 1t Is not
possible to push aside the feeling that
the painful decision which Princess Mar
garet has reached entirely alone Is
proper for one Ia her position. And the
fact that she has reached it gives US q
glimpse Of her character which does much
TO account for the affection and the
