QUEEN MARIE of Rumania. deny
" ing the repeated rumors that her
royal husband had orderedsher to re-
turn home, continued on her merry
way through America. After review
ing the cadets at West Point and adj
miring Niagara Falls. she moved on
into Canada and was enthusiastically
received by Toronto, Montreal, Quebec
and other cities. One discordant fea-
ture was the attitude of the Ukrain-
ians who are numerous in the Do
minion. In Toronto they presented
q petition protesting against the treat
ment accorded Ukrainians in Ru-
mania, and-in Winnipeg they made
formal objection to participation by
the Manitoba government in the re-
ception to the queen.
NE long standing dispute between
~ the executive and the legislative
branches of the government was end
ed last week when the United States
Supreme court in a majority opinion
upheld the authority Of the President
to remove executive appointees with
out the consent of the senate. The
court ruled that federal statutes cited
to the contrary are void and denied
to congress the constitutional right to
restrict the President in the removal
of officers from posts it created.
The opinion is the result of suit
brought by Frank s. Myers, former
postmaster at Portland Ore. who was
removed by President Wilson and who
sought to recover back salary on the
ground that his removal was illegal
without the consent Of the senate.

Justices Holmes, Brandeis and Nc
Reynolds took radical exceptions to
the opinion of their colleagues, and
in a separate opinion Justice Mercy
nolds declared that the majority
views are Revolutionary"
~ REAT BRITAIN announced new
VI regulations restricting the ex-
port of rubber from Ceylon and
Malaga for next year, to go into effect
on November /. BY these regulations
it appears probable that the coming
quarter will see a reduction of the
exportable. allowance from the present
100 per cent to 80 per cent. The av-
erage price of rubber for the current
quarter up to October 20 was 20.149
pence (about 40 cents) and the aver
age must exceed 81 pence to justify
continuance Of the 100 per cent stand
ard Of exports.
It is recognized in the rubber mar
ket in London that the situation still
is dominated largely by the United
States and depends to some extent on
the growth of the motor industry In
America. and that, although in the
current year production exceeded con-
sumption by roughly, 10000 tons, such
surplus would be none too high If
the American motor industry devel-
oped as expected.

division of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce in Washington,
says in his annual report that de-
fensive, measures in the United States
against British rubber control have
resulted in large savings to the Amer
lean people.
