| Description | Duke of Windsor came to Austria immediately after abdication and is staying with the Eugene Rothschilds at Enzesfeld; Austrian public respects his privacy, but newsmen, including U.S. correspondents, have hounded him; police surrounding estate; Edward behaving very circumspectly; not appearing in public; Mrs. [Wallis Warfield] Simpson not expected in Austria; Edward plans to remain quietly in Austria until her divorce decree is final; letter enclosed with letter to Acting Secretary would indicate Mrs. Simpson influenced Edward in his pro-German attitude; believes this attitude inherited from his father rather than due to Mrs. Simpson's influence; in general Mrs. Simpson's influence has been good; according to first-hand sources, even straight laced Queen Mother realized this and was willing to overlook everything in their relationship except marriage; relations between Edward and his family seem still much closer than has been assumed; at [Julius de] Goemboes' funeral, his body was carried in a hearse instead of on a caisson as is customary with generals; [Hermann] Goering, who had gone to Budapest for funeral, could not understand why Goemboes was not buried with full military honors, but was shown book of army regulations which stated a general by decree does not rate a caisson at his funeral; Goemboes had made himself general by decree, which the Hungarian army had resented; Czechoslovakia, threatened by Germany, requesting France to take initiative in turning the bilateral arrangements of Little Entente covering all contingencies; France agreeable, but Yugoslavia and Rumania cool to idea. | en_US |
