Statesmen have their bad days, too,
The day Democratic House Leader
Byrns announced a soldier bonus bill
was going to pass was the day he
happened to have a heavy cold. That
day everything seemed black to him.
All was lost for the administration.
Such announcements are COM
mon in Washington In Winter
they are called "infuensa state
ments." In Summer the name for
them is "hot-Uedther announce
mentS."
The fact at that time was that q
soldier bonus bill certainly would pass
the House if a vote could be obtained.
There was some doubt about the pros
poets of an early vote. One or two
Implications were discovered on the
vote petition.
Only four or five additional men,
bers had signed during the previous
two weeks. How the necessary addi-
tional signatures were going to be OBJ
tanned was not then apparent.
Still Long Way OFF.
Even if the bill should pass the
House, it would still be a long way
from enactment.
On the soldier issue the Senate
would not be so amenable to outside
political pressure. Not because Sena-
tors are any more noble than House
members, but only one-third of them
are up for reelection this year. AL
members of the House must face the
soldier vote.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN
IN NEW DISPUTE
Toxic Accuses Soviet of
Broken Faith in Ban on
Fishing Rights.

TOXIC, February 21.-A new dip
lomatic tilt between Japan and Rus
sia over fishing grounds IN North Pa
cific waters confronted Toxic and
Moscow today.
A foreign Office spokesman said ia
pan will protest strongly to Moscow
over "a serious breach of international
agreement" and will consider steps
to obtain q remedy"
Waters belonging to Russia and
fished by Japanese under treaty ar
rangements perfected three years ago
were the focal point Of the dispute.
Fishing rights have been a source Of
trouble ever since the Portsmouth
Treaty was signed in 1905.
A recent agreement fixed the ex-
change rate between the two coun-
tries at 32.5 sen Ga sen is the Japan
ese cent? to one rouble, and allowed
Japanese to purchase at an annual
auction in Vladivostok the right to
fish on certain grounds.
Japan claims Russia arbitrarily
boosted the exchange to rs sen to the
rouble. in violation Of the agreement,
and yesterday submitted bids at the
auction at the old rate. None but
Russian bids were accepted.
Diplomats saw a new menace to
continuance Of negotiations with Rus
sia over sale Of the Chinese Eastern
Railway to Manchukuo. since the ne
gotiations concern exchange rates and
Moscow was reported to be adamant
on the new rate.

LONDON, February 2l.-A royal
envoy failed today to convince Prince
Sigvard of Sweden. that he shouldn't
marry blond German movie actress.
The actress Is Fraulein Erlka Pat

Prince Gustav Adolf objects to the
marriage on the grounds that she is
a conmoner.
So Count Folke Bernadotte. him
self the husband of an American girl,
the former Estelle R. Manville,
boarded an airplane and plunged into
the family argument.
He spent a good deal of time trying
to find the head-strong prince and his
beautiful financee, only to discover to-
day that the royal young Swede has
a very head-strong mind Of his own.
Silent on Plans.
The count left town and headed
back to Sweden, figuratively washing
his hands as he went.
The young couple, after lodging
PARENTAL ENJOYS, diplomats, and in
terviewers several days, quietly went to
lunch in coZy West End restaurant.
Still the prince refused to discuss
plans for the -intends-to-
be, saying only that he intends to
marry in London if regulations can be
complied with
Scotland Yards Aid ASKED.
The count, representing the crown
prince, was exhausting every effort
today. aided by detectives from Scot
land Yard, to discourage the mar
riage. He was reluctant to comment.
but 1t was learned that Scotland Yard
was called upon for help when he
had been unable to find the couple
himself.
Two stories were current today,
neither confirmable due to the elusive
ness Of the prince and young actress

the couple eloped here from Berlin
where the prince, known as Herr
Holger" is an assistant director in
moving pictures, and that they we're
quartered at different hotels. An
other said Miss Patzek is here with
her father, Anton Patzek, a Berlin
business Ian.

Werd that Prince Sigvard had been
d8owned by the Swedish royal family
came in the brief Stockholm state
ment last night which said that
Prince Sigvard arrived at Lon
don recently and there made prepara-
tions to marry woman of German
nationality. The prince took this
step against the expressed Will Of the
King and the crown prince"
The prince, under the present at
titude of the royal family, must sur
render his title and military rank
and become plain Mr.. Bernadotte"
or, If he prefers to adopt the name
under which he is known in German
film circles, Herr Holger."
Prince Sigvard's last job with U. F.
A. IN Berlin was in the production OF
the film "Walzerkrieg." He became
acquainted with the actress less than
a year ago.
