Wales in a Walk

To advanced British students of British journalism at the University of London last week was popped this question:

You are editor of a national daily newspaper (British, of course). The following events are reported to you. To which one would you give first place in your newspaper? Please mark the events in order of preference:

War between Brazil and Argentina.

Famous actress found murdered.

Financial collapse of Germany.

Engagement of the Prince of Wales.

Abolition of the League of Nations.

Resignation of the Prime Minister.

100 Lives Lost in British Liner Wreck. 300 Lives Lost in French Mine Disaster.

Famous Scientist Receives Message from Mars. Less than 1/2% of the students said they would give James Ramsay MacDonald's resignation first place, over 89% plumped for Edward of Wales's engagement and the rest scattered--indicating however that they would place Abolition of the League ahead of Collapse of Germany.
