experience with Prince William OF
vyied. Tha. gentleman ran on to
Switzerland. anc thence into Germany.
lie never formally abdicated, and only
few days ago cableEram from
Germany stated that he intended to
r,cnter Albania by airplane and re-
satin his throne. Ii he does he will
Ecet the same fate that befcll Maxi
milan in Mexico. We are through
with him.
Put we must have king, and that
right away. We want him, first, to
discourage the efforts OF William OF
Wied. Second, so that Albania may
take her place among world nations
having a staple government. Third,
TO keep the domestic situation quiet.
The last-named reason is just as inn
iortant as the other two together
This spokesman stated that Albania
promises 20 become the richest Ma
tioa on the Ac-istic, and limited that
the reve-sicn o: its throne was not
something to I,e passed lightly by.
in ether years Albania has been
noted for agricultural products, he
continued. "Tctacco has been one OF
the crops known the world over. But
underneath All ania's soil, almost un-
touched until now, are gigantic guam
titles Of ell, coal, and iron. These
natural resources will be developed
within the next few years, IL we
stabilize our government"
lie explained that not only the rul-
ing class, but the haute bourseoisie
also preferred a limited monarchy TO
"A republican form o. government.
1t is one hing u establish a re-
public in the western world, where
conditions are new. 1t is different
Thin. to declare democracy In land
where tribal and ether monarchial
forms of government have beer. In eX-
,stence for hundreds or years. The
educated class know this. That IL
why We sre making our search for d
king.
"A republic in Albania would mean
constant jealousy and strife ainons
politicians. The masses would not
have respect for the president, no mat
ter who he might be. They Will not
respect one Of themselves elevated tc
pcwer. We nesd q man with roya
strain of >blood--sonone who will bt
"A symbol of government, and whose
very name will beget instant obedience
to the Governments edicts.'
i II was further shown that 1t was
preferable that this ruler-to-b,
should lie young. ana unmarried.
"Albanias king must grow and de-
velop with the country" he said. II
we take him young his mind Will D'
able 10 adjust itself to the new co..
ditions. Then, there will be enormod:
demands upon his strength ard time
lie must be not only symbol, but az
actual government leader when tn
occasion dor strong man arises.
"Of course it Is preferable that lat
be a bachelor. AL alliance with som'
great nation in Eui ope would work Il
1.-The advantage of Albania. II we canno
secure a bachelor, however, we shal
be content with what can be hao.
The need for a man with plenty o
cash was demonstrated.
Albania could not afford more thai
"A million francs a year for the upkee
lef limited monarchy during the mex
few years. There woald pe no larg
clvil list 20 maintain, odt nonarchie
cost money. Ii We CAL secure prime
with gold-plenty of sold-he will b
doHbly welcomed"
