EDITORIAL-
The
King
is
Dead
ThlE
death
of
the
King,
with
such
shocking
suddenness,
stuns
the
world.
He
was
truly
the
King
of
the
people
and
British
history
has
not
had,
nor
will
record,
a
more
democratic
monarch
than
he.
It
is
with
feelings
of
personal
sorrow
that
people
of
his
own
Britain
and
Canada,
the
rest
of
the
Commonwealth
ond
the
democratic
nations
of
the
world
pause
today,
in
the
midst
of
their
cares
and
burdens,
to
realize
the
great
and
shocking
blow
ond
to
mourn
his
passing
with
sincere
sorrow.
The
affection
in
which
Geome
VI
was
held
was
due
in
great
measure,
of
course,
to
the
personal
interest
he
took
in
the
ordinary
people
and
the
ordinary
affairs
of
life.
Dubbed
the
"labor
king,"
he
liked
to
see
how
things
were
done
in
shop,
mine
and
mill,
and
to
ask
questions
of
employees.
Once
he
visited
a
glue
factory
where
the
management
tried
to
spare
him
disagreeable
smells
and
sights.
But
the
king-to-be,
saying
that
what
was
good
enough
for
the
workmen
was
good
enough
for
him,
insisted
upon
being
excluded
from
nothing.
"Fellowship
between
individuals
in
all
walks
of
industry,
irrespective
of
class
and
.occupation,"
he
once
said,
"is
the
backbone
of
imperial
progress."
On
another
occasion
he
declared:
"Nothing
is
more
important
to
the
security
and
prosperity
of
the
Empire
than
industrial
welfare.
And
no
man
can
be
happy
and
efficient
at
his
job
unless
he
