solemnly tyomise to ’‘maintain the true intent of yonr enactments to the best of my powers.” After his coronation, the king must formally declare his adherence to the Protestant church, and his obligation “never to marry a Roman Catholic." That dates back to the Stuarts. King Edward, who Is not suptwaed to contemplate marriage. Is the official head of the churches of England and Scotland, and “defender of. the faith." Prom all the world,, “subjects” of the and emperor send greetings. Representatives of divine power, churches of every religion, Mohammedan, Hindu, Buddhist. Chinese, Christian and Jewish, speed the dead king on his journey and welcome the new ruler. If the soldiers get their bonus money there will be some quick spending, enough to quicken the pulse of business while It lasts. Merchants will get more than $600.- , 000,000 owing on past accounts, and the observer will notice many new overcoats, dresses and automobiles. At the opening of New York's 53.WIO,OOO memorial erected to honor the late Theodore Roosevelt, one speaker praised President Theodore Roosevelt as one who “saw the necessity for keeping both the legislatures and the courts In their proper places ” That perception showed a high spirit, bpt If some future Theodore Roosevelt should go too far tn that direction It might become necessary for the legislatures and the courts to keep that President tn his proper place.

When you hear foolish talk about “revolution" and getting rid of the Constitution, a remark made by Washington as he signed the Constitution may be recalled: “Should the states reject this excellent Constitution, the probability is that an opportunity will never again offer to cancel another in peace—the next will be drawn in blood."

News Review of Current Events the World Over Edward VIII Becomes Ruler of the British Empire; Substitute for Unconstitutional AAA Rejected by Senate Subcommittee. > ’ By EDWARD W. PICKARD r e W«»tern Newspaper Vnlon.

r ww GEORGE V, king of Great Britain and emperor of India, died in Sandringham house, peacfully and i painlessly, in his seventy-first year. Im-

_ mediately on bls passfl Ing. his eldest son, EdI ward Albert, who had I been prince of Wales, I succeeded to the I throne, which by BritI Ish law. Is never vaI cant. Next morning I the state council, conI slsting of the queen I and her four sons, I which had been created by a decree which ' George signed a few hours before bls death.

o I M| King Edward VIII

proclaimed the accession of the new ruler as Edward VHL His first official act was to notify the lord mayor of London of his father's demise. King George, who had been on the throne almost twenty-five years, was the best loved and most democratic of the world's monarchs, always just, sollcitous for the welfare of his subjects and living a simple and almost faultless domestic and official life The new king, a confirmed bachelor, knows his vast empire Intimately, having visited practically every part of It. some regions many times. Decidedly different from his father in his tastes and ways of life, he still, as the prince of Wales, has been a great favorite of the people, and In recent years, realising that he would soon have to, mount the throne, he steadied down and took an increasing interest in the affairs of the empire. He is especially liked by the laboring classes, in whose welfare he often has shown deep sympathy. That he never married has been a disappointment to the British people. Now for the first time since the reign of William IV there is no prince of Wales. Next In the line of succession is the king's brother, the duke of York, and second comes the duke's little daughter. Princess Elisabeth. There will be six months or more of official mourning for George's death, and Edward VIII will not be crowned for about one year. The body of the dead ruler was removed from Sandringham house to the little church of St. Mary Magdalene in Stodringham. Thence It was to be taken to Westminster abbey, there to lie in state. Interment is to be in the Albert Memorial chapel at Windsor, beside the tombs of George's father and mother. *TpHE New Deal’s substitute for the 1 . tonal AAA, Jl trfu empowering the sec retn rs of agriculture to pay farmers who co-operate volun-

tarily in a program of soil conservation, was introduced in congress by Senator John B. Bankhead. Democrat, and Representative Marvin Jones. Democrat. Texas. The bill was referred to a senate subcommittee. The members of the subcommittee Joubted the constitutionality. of the new measure

and directed Secretary of Agriculture Wallace to write a new bllL The bill rejected by the committee stated as Its purposes: 1. Preservation and improvement of soil fertility. 2. Promotion of the economic use of land. 3. Diminution of exploitation and unprofitable use of national toil resources. 4. Provision for and maintenance of a continuous and stable supply of agricultural commodities adequate to meet domestic and foreign consumer requirements at prices fair to both producers and consumers. 5. Re-establishment and maintenance of farm purchasing power. Secretary Wallace was requested to write a new act that would provide a plan of co-operation with each of the 48 states, and set up a permanent program on AAA policies. Chairman Smith, Democrat, said. Saying he spoke for the committee. Smith explained: “We said tn effect to Secretary Wallace. ‘Make it constitutional.’ because we have the responsibility to pass it* THE compromise bill providing payment of the soldier bonus, whipped through congress by crushing majorities. was passed on to the President, who Is expected to veto it Congressional action on the measure was completed when the house voted 348 to SO to accept the senate substitute for the bill It' had previously passed. The senate vote was 74 to 18. leaders of both houses claim they have sufficient votes to override a veto. • The original house bill did not provide • method for paying the cost of the bonus, which is estimated at 83,337,000.000. The senate suggested the issuance of the SSO “baby bonds’* which will bear interest of 3 per cent annually until 1943 If the veteran elects to hold on to them. Each veteran will receive the 1945 value of his adjusted compensation certificate in S3O bonds with a government check for odd amounts. Interest owed by veterans upon loans unpaid on their certificates la canceled. but there will be no refund of interest paid upon such loans. THR present federal relief program, depending principally on wofk relief, CCC and public works. is alone costing approximately as much as the fourfold program which went before and which embraced these three items pins direct relief which has now been returned to the states, according to a study of the relief problem and the

government finances by Kendall K. Hoyt in the Analyst. For immediate purposes, at least, there is no prospect of much reduction I in the rate of federal expenditure, ac- , cording to Mr. Hoyt. In order to pre- i vent the states from trooping back for | more relief funds the government must j keep Its pledge to employ the arbitrary three and one-half millions of persons which have been carried since last November principally under WPA and CCC. In dollar terms this means that, according to budget estimates, the outlay for recovery and relief for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1936, will be almost the same aS that for the preceding fiscal year, namely, three billions In round numbers, or an average of 250 'millions per month. It is within expectancy, therefore, that costs to the country will reach a new high unless economic conditions improve more rapidly than can now be foreseen. A PPARENTLY "authentic" admlnlstrntion sources are credited, according to Democrats In congress, with a report that Jesse Jones. RFC chair-

Jesse Jones

change already has received some consideration from President Roosevelt. Another added that It was “a 100-to-l shot that It Is under consideration." . The reports were discounted to some extent, however, by the fact that the President has just renominated Jones for two more years as chairman of the Reconstruction Finance corporation. One Democratic representative argued that on the basis of his past record Jones could carry Into the treasury the respect and confidence of both big business and "the man in the street" He described the RFC chairman as sufficiently liberal to command the support of liberal elements and yet not leaning so far In that direction as to alarm conservatives. NESSIM PASHA, weary * of his Job since the anti-British riots started November 13, has handed the resignation of his cabinet to King Fuad L The resignation was accepted. Nessim found it exhausting to keep an equilibrium between the conflicting forces of the throne, the British residency, the nationalists and their compatriots. But the final blow, dealt him by the British government at London, was the thinly veiled ultimatum to Egyptian Nationalism, In the form of verbal instructions for negotiations for an Angll-Egyptian treaty. The sting to Egyptian pride was in the warnin.d that if the present negotiations fail, the British consider their hands will be free and will revise their Egyptian policy. FACTORY sales of automobiles manufactured in the United States rose to 407.804 in December, bringing the j year’s total to 4,009,486. the Department of Commerce reports. The total compares with 2,753,111 in 1984. At the Same time the department reported an increase of $7,483,914 in exports of automotive products during the month of November from the preceding month. November auto exports reached a valuation of 522.4at.722. This is the peak figure for any corresponding month since 1929. when the export total amounted to $27,1294X13. THE senate munitions committee which precipitated a sensational controversy recently by reflecting on the war record of President Wilson, has decided to request an additional appropriation of $7,500 to complete Its investigation and make its final rej>ort. Many Democratic senators hare declared that they would not vote another dollar for the inquiry, but Senator Nye, chairman of the committee, believes the additional sum will be forthcoming. THE opening of the reign of Edward VIII of Great Britain, was marked with an act of mercy. Arthur Charles Mortimer, under sentence of death tor running down and killing a girl bicyclist with an automobile, received a reprieve commuting his sentence to penal servitude for life. Mortimer's crime, murder by motor car, was described as the flrat of its kind to England. * AFTER several months of governmental stability Premier Pierre Laval has handed to Albert Lebrun, president of France, the resignation of the entire cabinet. Leaders expressed fear of a financial crista. The radical Socialists: Minister of State Edourd Herriot, Minister of Commerce George Bonnet.

Washington Digest National Topics Interpreted By william bruckart

Washington.—Headline hunting —a term originated by the distinguished writer, Floyd GibHeadline bons—has long been Hunting * senatorial pastime. It Is a practice, a game, which has been used by some senators over and over again to obtain, for themselves personal publicity, usually at the expense of private interests ■ which always is smeared in senatorial investigations whether justified or not. Lately, however, headline hunting,'as a pastime, took an awful blow on the chin. And when headline hunting was the recipient of a flare-back from its own devices. It caught two well-known senate figures in the whirlpool of the reaction. Probably one of the senators was largely responsible for the terrific explosion that took place and lie caught the full force and effect of his own statements as they came in reverse gear. The incident to which I refer occurred in connection with the Investigation of munitions makers and bankers by Senator Nye, Republican, of North Dakota, and the special committee of which he is chairman. This investigation has gone on for some fifteen months and has cost approximately $193,000, $68,000 of which came out of funds appropriated to feed the hungry of New York city. It has disclosed some questionable practices by some of the small dealers in munitions. But as a whole, I believe the consensus tn Washington is that Mr. Nye’s investigation, called a fishing expedition by many newspaper correspondents, has added little or nothing of a constructive character. • • • Once before in these columns I reported to you how Senator Nye was proceeding about the The Great country making Flare-Back speeches in which he charged munitions makers and international bankers and even aircraft and shipbuilders with being instrumental in promoting war. Indeed, he asserted numerous times that bankers and munitions makers* had forced the United States into the World war. He and investigators, employed by the committee, were constantly engaged in telling capital correspondents of terrible things which the investigators had dug up while they muiied through private files of banks and business houses. These brought plenty of headlines, but now that the munitions investigation Is virtually over, one can hardly agree in. making a fair appraisal of the committee’s work that the charges have been substantiated. Nye Is an advocate of pence andMie had many opportunities, therefore. ttkappear in the roll of a |»e-.ice leader "in speeches before various organizations interested. It developed, however. Hint he receive*! honoraria, gifts of money or fees, for the speeches. But to get back to the headline hunting and how it flared back, the climax of the munitions inquiry was the in ’ vestigsition of the gigantic New York , financial house of J. I*. Morgan nnd company. It was while the Morgan j partners were on tlie witness stand 1 that the explosion came—and It did not involve Morgan in any way. 'Die Incident around which the storm blew bardrot cqme when Senator Clark of Missouri, a son of the distinguished • late Speaker Clark, read Into the committee record documents showing how Presi<lent Wilson had diplomatically evaded informing a senate commit tee of the existence of treaties among the ! allies by which there would l»e a divl- ' sl«tn of the colonies of Germany and i Austria-Hungary if the allies won the j World war. Subsequently, documents showed that Mr. Wilson was aware of th<|se treaties and when this wns disJ closed. Senator Nye charged in a committee hearing that Mr. Wilson had falsified the records. There followed the explosion. Word reached the floor of tlw senate, then in session, and Senator Connolly, Texas Democrat, blew off the lid He openly accused Senator Nye of besmirching the names of Mr. Wilson and the late Secretary of State I.anslng. and charged at the same time that the North Dakota senator was a publicity seeker. Senator Clark was criticized also and the Inference was cast out in the vi- ' clous senate debate that the Missouri senator was indirectly biased because his father had lost the Presidential nomination, to Mr. Wilson in that famous and bitter 1912 Democratic convention. Thus Senator Clark got caught in the mess but not to such an extent • as did Senator Nye because Senator Glass, the Virginia Democrat and a leader in' the Wilson administration, also took up the cudgels and lambasted the youthful North Dakotan without the benefit of gloves. On top of this. Senator Pope of Idaho, and Senator George of Georgia, both stalwart Democrats, withdrew from the Nye committee proceedings, in doing so they read a statement explaining their position which, though tactful, was none the less direct in expressing their dissatisfaction. In the meantime, the Morgan partners. beaded by J. P. Morgan himself, sat to the witness chairs with nothing to do. They sat for three days with virtually no questions being put to them. From their standpoint. I believe their climactic, appearance as witnesses was quite fitting. The committee that had started out with bales and bales of records from which the investigators were going to prove how terrible was the House of Morgan had found it was giving them a rather clean bill of health. They found that the committee, Instead of proving that they had brought on the war, was proving for the House of Morgan that It had served the United States government; that Its xyf rooix? ydlwß to tills connenr than they ever had been nob-

licly shown to be before and that in the end they had enabled the governments of Great Britain and France to maintain their strength and fight off the Central Powers until the men and money from the United States were brought into play. Through the long years that J. P. Morgan and company has operated In New York, the name has been synonymous with Wall Street It was synonymous with Wall Street because demagogues and those politicians who profit by baiting big business as a popular sport had created that impression. Always when It was profitable for a representative or senator to conjure up a picture to win votes for himself you could find allusions to„ the “mighty power of Morgan." It will be recalled how In recent years two former senators. Brookhart, Republican of lowa, and Heflin. Democrat of Alabama, made mince meat of the “money changers of Wall Street.’’ Always, the “money changers” were headed up by the house of Morgan. I mention these two former senators because their attacks are typical. There are those In the senate today who do the same thing and for exactly the same purposes. The committee Investigation of the House of Morgan showed that tlie institution had profited by acting as commercial agents for the allies and that in handling about three billion dollars in purchases of wheat, cotton, coal, oil. shells and other munitions of war for the allies, a commission of 1 per cent had been paid to the Rouse of Morgan. The Inquiry also revealed the extent to which Morgan and company had taken bonds of the French and British governments and had sold them here. Evidence showed that after the United States entered the war, the United States government took over the job of financing those nations whose business and financial transactions had been handled by the House of Morgan prior to April 6. 1917. So. the munitions investigation. Instead of smearing the House of Morgan, apparently has told for the first time the details nf how Jt functioned during a period when the United States government eottld do nothing, a period when the vast majority of our citizens were proved to have b«en sympathetic wtih the allies against the centra! powers. • • • At the outset I said this investlga tion had flared hack on Its sponsors. . Time alone will tell how significant this Inquiries explosion has been. arifri time alone disclose whether it will hare the effect of reducing the number of senatorial excursions Into the affairs of private business. The senate has vast powers and they are susceptible to abuse. There are many unbiased students of government who hold tlie conviction that there have been unwarranted investigations by the senate and that these investigations amount tn persecution of private business. Obviously, some inquiries have turned up real dirt. Take the oil scandal that camo but of the Harding administration, for example. The facts in that conspiracy probably never would have been disclosed except for the vigorous Job done by the late Senator Walsh. Montana Demo crat There are other Illustrations of the truth of tlie statement that some investigations are valuable. <>h the other hand. It seems to meHhat headline hunting as such, represents a game somewhat outside of the rules of fair playIf the bitter feeling that was developed from the situation centering around President Wilson’s war time actions serves as a lesson for the future, I feel sure that there will be fewer senatorial inquiries. It shows, or ought to show, that there should be some basis established before a senate committee goes whole hog after the hides of any business men, whether they be great or small. • Wwtern Newspaper Unto*. — Slight Error Found in Fahrenheit Thermometei Fahrenheit, who made the first mw cury-glass thermometer, arbitrarily assumed that the amount of expansion of mercury was exactly proportional to the Increase of temperature. The error of this assuffiption was learned when it was found that the rates o* expansion of different liquids were not strictly proportion:)! to eacn other and therefore not proportional to the tem perature. Thermodynamical calculations have shown, writes Dr. Thomas M.

The hydrogen thermometer Is rather cumbersome, so for everyday purposes the mercury thermometer is used. Obviously it cannot be used below the freezing point of mercury (—4O degrees). For such temperatures thermometers filled with alcohol or pentane (a low-boiling gasoline) are used.

BUSINESS IS GOOD EVEN IF SPELLING OF AVIATORS ISN’T Allan J. Cameron, president of a New York skywriting company, finds business good even if the smoke spelling of some of his aviator is bad. When asked about recent mistakes in the advertising slogans pouring from airplanes over New York, Cameron recalled some of the bigger business anxieties he has experienced; Once Cameron and manufactujflng officials were on a rooftop happily watching the name of the company's product being written in mile high block letters. The aviator omitted a letter in the first trade word which left nothing but a girl’s name hanging over the Empire State building. The sponsors were about to cancel the contract when the skywriter thought fast and drew a line through the word and began all over again. Cameron got more than 300 tel phone wisecracks suggesting he attach erasers to the airplane tails. One of Cameron’s worst moments • wis during the American !. ginn parade at the Philadelphia convention. To advocate Paris for the next year's convention, C.imeron asked one of his men to inscribe “Paris Next Year” over the parade route. The skywriter, a Legionnaire himself, wrote that, and then on his own book, while General Pershing and other notables watched, ad led, “Gay Paree.” That was nice, but ‘ then tlie gay aviator added a cruple of “hooplas" and was starting to write something e’se when the smoke supply gave out. Cameron d'd not know whether a ve~se from “Hlfiky Dinky Parlez Vous.” or what was coming next, and was glad he didn’t find out. Another time they planned to write "Hello Wales” to greet the prince of Wales, but the British consulate general thought perhaps "Welcome to his royal highness the prince of W ales” would be better. When Cameron told him it would take six planes and would stretch out of sight, he said "it was extraordinary and to use onr own judgment." The weather man solved the perplexity. It rained. Meaning of. Muckraker The term muckraker was popularized by Theodore Roosevelt In a . public address in 1906 as applying to those individuals or Journals that make a practice of digging up and exposing corruption, real or imaginary. The term "muckrake” was originally an allusion to a character in Bunyan’s “Pilgrim's Progress."
