 The United Press understands that the Prince has flown with Merino and that he has explained various points about British ma- chimes just as Merino discussed subjects pertaining to Chile's air force when the Prince visited the South American republic last Feb ruary.

PLANNING SEEN
\ LIBERTY PERIL

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug.
Is (U.S0. - Whether or not dis
turbing social problems arising
from the depression would de-
mand the overthrow of existing
democratic institutions of govern
ment to make way for system
of economic planning was the
question debated before the In.
stitute of Politics yesterday at the
general conference on ''The Fu-
ture of Democracy"
While the speakers were gen.
orally agreed on the necessity of
economic planning, several de-
MED the possibility of it's exiS-
tence in a democracy. Other
experts, among them Prof. Arthur
N. Holcombe, Of Harvard Univer-
sity, leader of the conference,
declared planning and democracy
were logically compatible"
Among those who declared
planning meant the downfall Of
democracy was Prof. Theodore C.
Gregory, of the London School Of
Economics, who stated that sit is
absolutely impossible to have cen.
tralized planning in a democracy"
Dean P. E. Corbett, of McGill
University, warned:
Democracy must be swept
away in the need Of greater

A boys father died when he was IS. His uncles and his aunts, his cousins germain and second third cousins all impressed on that only son that now his duty was to his mother.
 Without experience, without the freedom of selection, and with his duty impressed upon him that boy gave up all normal pleasures and devoted himself assiduously to earn ing, to protecting and befriending
 his mother.
 From a bright carefree boy, nor mally active in the things that a boy of 13 has right to do, he turned into an over-serious, thin, pale, set tied child-man who looked as though the world had suddenly set tied on his shoulders and it was up
 to him to carry it.

 child astounded me at first. but l
