WHO'LL PAY BILLS
 WHEN DUKE MARRIES
|QuestiOn Aeitates Britain and
 Parliament Row Is Likely

London. Jan. ?e.-tBy Associated
 Press. The coming marriage Of the Duke Of York and Lady Elizabeth
 Bowes-Lyon. daughter of the Earl
 Of Strathmore. brings before the Brit
 ish people for the first time in many years a question which has been sometimes q point of bitter feeling
 between Crown and Parliament. This question is the financing of younger
 member Of tho Royal family.
 The Prince of Wales has estates appertaining to his title sufficient for support and Princess Mary married one of the richest men in the King dom. Viscount Lascelles. so there was no difficulty fin her case.
 The Kings younger sons, however. in starting households, must have subsidies appropriate to their stations. and Parliament either must make grants for them or their father must finance them. Although King Georges wealth is a matter of guess work, he probably can afford easily 10 aid his sons but custom, strong in England, entities him to expect the National Exchequer to provide for them.
 Can't Go To Work.
 Custom forbids the Kings sons to work except in such employment as the army or navy, where pay is in- significant. It compels them. never theless, to live up to their positions.
 The embarrassing duty fell on Queen Victoria of asking Parliament for grants for her younger children and her grandchildren, daughters of King Edward. On every occasion there was opposition in Parliament, l which irritated the Queen. Even in | those days there were radicals in | Commons who asked what !. these l members of the royal family dla for the nation to earn their upkeep
 With labor members now cOnsti- tuting the second part in Commons, and with more than million unem- ployed in the coutry. any proposals to finance the Duke of York on a prince ly scale is certain to bring debate. The Duke has no great fortune of his own. nor has his bride-to-be, whose family wealth is mostly in tradition and castles, and even for the latter there is a poor market today, there being far more castles on sale than buyers.
 There was gossip a year ago that the Duke of York sought the hand of Edwina Ashley, who inherited mil ions, but she married the Dukes Lord Mountbatten.
