Police Return
WOman's Auto

Thinking the matter over, Mrs.
Dorothy Burkhead Of Holtville.
this morning decided to tell Ell
Centro police how her car was
stolen last night while she at
tended the show in Ell Centro.
Acting in accordance with her
decision, Mrs. Burkhead went to
the police station and started to
report the loss of her automobile.
Bill Mitchell, desk sergeant, could
not see the use of taking a report,
but escorted Mrs. Burkhead out
side, where her car was parked
in front of the police station.
Automobile and owner went on
their way wondering just how Il
happened.
The car was driven to the police
station last night after Roy Du-
pont found it where the thieves
had abandoned it, on Woodward
avenue between Fifth and Sixth
streets.

LONDON, Dec. That part of President Hoover's annual mes sage to the American Congress, dealing with war debts, is discour- aging to the London press but reference to cooperation of na- tions in the economic crisis is warmly welcomed.
 The London Times said there is only one method whereby these debt difficulties can be overcome, namely, accepting payment in goods and services but President Hoover did not suggest this and Congress would not have consid- cred 1t if he did"
 The Times concluded with the statement that the practical al- ternative is to pay in gold.

COMMITTEE OF SENATE 0VERWHEL. MING FOR REPEAL
Mope for Swedist Republic
 May Mark Kings Jubilee
By ELMER w. PETERSON

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 7.-Working cn governmental problems with new social democrat administration which theoretically at least, would like to have Sweden a Republic, King Gustav V. will celebrate the 25th anniversary of his return to- morrow with his popularity undi- minished.
 It is not unlikely that the left wing of the Riksdag will this year, as it has done before, introduce a resolution to chance Sweden to a Republic. It is more than likely as has happened before that the resolution will be voted down and that with the aid of the Social Democrats.
 Kings Personality Counts
 In the continuance of this para doxical situation, King Gustav has unconscienciously played a domi- nant role. His personal popularity, his entire accord with changing political trends, and his valuable services to his country, have given Sweden little reason to dispense with it's royal family.
 The human side of the king has helped to establish this feeling. The Swedes like to boast of his agility on the tennis court, where he figures in tournaments on the Riviera as MT. G." They like to see him ride by on parade, sitting as erect as the youngest officer They appreciate his prowress as a fisherman and a hunter and his skill at bridge.
 Royal Power Limited
 In the constitutional government which Sweden enjoys the king is neither figurehead nor dictator. In the exercise of authority he works with, and is limited by, his cabi- net. Conduct of foreign policy is constitutionally in his hands but the Riksdag exercises an effective control over it. He may declare war or conclude peace, but only after consulting the Cabinet. King Gustav is, in effect, a reg ulator" in what can be termed a Democratic Monarchy. He serves much as a permanent president | would serve in a modern repub- lie as balance wheel removed from politics as a personality rep resenting the idea of the Swedish state.
 His reign has been both peace full and troubled When he as- cended the throne on December 8, 1907, the union between Sweden and Norway had just been ended, creating lively political situa- tion. Two years later Sweden ex-

NEW REICHSTAC IS DEADLOCkED
 LIKE LAST ONE
Chancellor, However, Not Forced to Use Decree
 for Dissolution

BERLIN, Dec. T. The new Reichstag, deadlocked like the last one as far as party control is con- cerned, held the first session yes terday.
 There was lively heckling from the Com m unists but Chancellor Kurt von Schleicher got through without being forced to utilize his decree for dissolution that he had ready for emergency.
 The outstanding incident was a bitter attack on President von Hin- denburg by Gen. Karl Litzmann, the 82-year- -old follower of Adolf Hitler, Nazi leader, who asserted that history may curse the aged President for driving the nation into Bolshevism.
 Herman Wilhelm Goering, Hit lerite, was elected Speaker of the Reichstag.

perienced general strike which threatened to develop into revo- lution.
 During the world war with Swe- den pressed hard in the matter of neutrality and with some disagree ment on the subject in the country, King Gustav made good use of his calm patience.
 His reign has been character ized by political democratization, by extension of the franchise to women, by the up movement of Social Democrats and left wing groups, by marked social reforms, tremendous naturalization an d modernization along all lines and radical change in the whole in- ternational situation in northern Europe.
