ecution, Congress should cooperate,
and there should be teamwork in
getting results along the lines sug-
gested by President Hoover in con-
formity with the platform upon
which he was elected.
1t is evident, however, that with a
faction in the Senate that seems to
constitute a majority, the battle cry
is Anything to thwart Hoover" 4"
Anything, in other words, to prevent
the retaliation of the plans to which
the people have given endorsement,
in which they believe, for the fulfill
ment of which they hope.
This may be good politics. That is
doubtful. There is no reason to be-
lieve that the hold of President
Hoover on the American majority
has been weakened. There is every
reason to believe that there is as
general faith in him and approval of
his plans for national betterment as
there was a year ago. 1t may be
good politics to fight majority opin-
ion. 1t may be good politics to
hamper and hamstring the Hoover
program. But the chances are that
faith in Hoover will remain and
faith in those who are taking such
pains to wreck his administration
will weaken. The people having
elected Hoover President, having en-
dorsed his principles and program,
and having not otherwise nationally
expressed their faith and belief in
anybody or anything, will probably

King Edward died while the Prince
was at Dartmouth College. and the ne"
epoch in the youths life began.
His father became King and the
Prince became Duke of Cornwall and
heir to the throne. He was created
Prince Of Wales by his father on his
sixteenth birthday, about six weeks
after the death Of King Edward
A fact 10 note i'll the career Of the
Prince of Wales at this period is that
his father became the supreme author
ity over him. There was now no one
over King George who could interfere
with the Princes upbrin2ing, but in
point of fact Queen Mary remained for
some little time the controlling infiu-
ence in the Princes life. No conflict OF
opinion arose between King George and
Queen Mary in this matter, however.
After King Edwards death the Prince
expressed the strongest wish that he
should be allowed to enter the navy, as
had been planned. King George did
not oppose his wish. but Queen Mary
did. Her view was that the Prince
should travel in Europe with his tutor
and visit the German and Russian
courts, and that then he should go to
oxford and afterWard into the army
for while No doubt it was in her
majestys mind that he next should
marry.
The Prince went to Queen Alexandra
to help him in his plan TO enter the

"There is only one person who will
decide that question" was the Queen S
reply, and that person is your father"
Queen Mary looked at the King.
We must think it over" he said. and
so ended the council This took place
in the Summer of 1910. A few months
later, at Buckingham Palace. the Prince
| learned of the decision concerning his
entry into the navy. He was to be
allowed to do so, but first he was to be
formally invested is Prince of Wales at
Carnarvon Castle.
Now the Prince had hoped to escape
this formal investiture until he had
been a year in the navy. He dreaded
the ceremony. He had been through a
number of ceremonies. He had been
created a Knight of the Garter with
the most elaborate formalities. and he
had been through the coronation OF his
father. He wanted no more OF this
| business.
He implored that his formal investi-
lure be postponed until he had served
year in the navy. But his mother was
adamant. 1t was her wish that before
he entered the navy all the world should
know with what great ceremony her
eldest son had been invested with the
title of Prince of Wales, and that when
he joined the battleship as a MILDLY no
one on board would be likely to forget
The Princes rank.
That's Over, Thank God"
He yielded with as good grace as he
could and prepared for the ceremony
This was perhaps one of the unhappiest
periods of his life, but he recognized
that the ordeal was inevitable, and he
! went through it splendidly.

God" was his comment to an old serv-
ant. his valet since he was 10.
Three weeks after his inVestiture the
Prince joined H. M. S. Hindustan as a
MILDLY. For two days he was treated
much more as Prince than as newly
joined MILDLY. He was relieved of 4
good deal of duty and escaped Raging.
Then the HinduStan was put to sea,
and a man-o'-war at sea is a different
affair from a man-owar In port.
When the Hindustan began her cruise
the Prince of Wales for the first time
found himself in a world which for
got or almost forgot, that he was the
heir to the throne.
There were officers who did not give
a hang that the MILDLY was Prince of
Wales. What mattered to them was
to have the ship properly worked, and
when the HinduStan was driving up
the North Sea against full gale there
was on time for politeneSs. The Prince
became simply one of bunch of mid
dies told by the lieutenant looking after
them that they were miserable lot
of young swabs who would get some
thing more than they wanted if they
were not lively doing what they were
told.
