April 15, 1926
One of today's dispatches from the Associated Press is based on a report in the Daily Mail. The London paper's Warsaw correspondent says "the idea of giving Poland a king is gaining ground" and if the "monarchist hope, if the nation adopts their view, the persuade the Duke of York to accept the throne."
Political circles in London view "such aspirations on the part of Polish monarchists" are not likely to be fulfilled. Albanian monarchists sought to induce Prince Arthur of Connaught to accept their throne, but he declined, which allowed for Prince Wilhelm of Wied to become Albania's sovereign in 1914.
One can safely assume that "British royal personages prefer the comparative surety" of the United Kingdom "to the uneasy crown of a central European state."
