ROYAL ROMANCE
MAY Be UPSET
Religion Obstacle to We'd
ding of Prince of Wales
and Princess Yolande

Paris, Feb. 21.-Cold water again
has been thrown on the royal
romance between the Prince OF
Wales and the italian Princess Vol
ande.
The obstacle is religious one.
The heir to the British throne is
allowed to espouse only a Protcs-
tant. The Italian Kings daughter
is Catholic. 1t is recalled that
Queen Helena, Princess Yolande's
mother. foreswore the Greek ortho-
doN religion to become Italy's
Queen. She is reported to be inclin-
ed to allow the Princess TO become
a Protestant but her mother-in-Iaw.
Queen Marguerite, is less liberal
and, supported by the rest of the
Aosta family, opposes such a step.
The italian embassy denies
matrimonial plans figure in the
presence here of the Italian Queen
and Princess Yolande, declaring that
Queen Helena's only reason for
visiting Paris is to see her father,
King Nicholas of Montenegro.
Despite this denial, belief persists
in wide circles that the plan for a
match between the British prince
and Princess Yolande has not been
dropped.

to the Senate and the country an
appeal to let America first remain

Of Borah's speech were:

That it marks the end of the

That the league constitution was

That 1t puts England far ahead

power by giving her and her colon

That it is the first step in "steri-
