Shortly before the attempted as.

peace plea in a speech to the

"Only a few of us on parade

horrors during the world Strug-

with all my heart I hope,
and indeed I pray, that never

RELIEF
$4,000 Added to

The drought has added 1850 900
persons on Federal relief and
knocked askew the program based
on the new SLABS, 100000 work-re-
lief appropriation, officials said
today.
Unless there is a decided pickup
in private employment they said
Congress may be called upon in
January to appropriate more
funds for relief.
Aubrey Williams, deputy Works
Progress Administrator, said:
"WPA will have TO provide
100000 Jobs that it would not
have been, called upon TO provide
but for the drought. That
means $50, 600 families"
WPA figures on an average OF
four and one,half persons to the
family.
Resettlement officials revealed
that that organization also will
have to provide loans and grants
for suStenance of 100000 more
families, and for feed for livestock
of farmers whose crops and pas
ture lands have been burned out
by the drought.
Resettlement'S average for farm
families is five persons to the
family. At WPA's average, the
3OO,OOO families thus added to the
Governments relief load means
100000 persons.
When Congress passed the
81, 425, 100000 work-relief fund,
the WPA estimated it would pro-

sons at WPA rates. Congress ear
marked $50, 600, 900 of the fund for

Attlee, it was understood, told

out that feeling among the rank

and that laborites in general held
the opinion the monarch should
be permitted to marry the woman
of his choice.

LONDON, Dec. 3 G.N.S0.-A
move to .ine up the British par
lament squarely behind King
Edward in his determination to
marry Mrs. Wallis Simpson was
begun in the house Of commons
today.
Col. Josiah, Wedgwood, wealthy
laborite M. P. and war hero,
served notice asking early debate
of the following:
"That in the opinion of this
house the oath of allegiance
which they have taken to King
Edward is unaffected by any
form of coronation or by the
presence thereat or the absence
therefrom of any dignitary or
parsonage whatsoever nor will
they substitute any other for
the King"
Acceptance of Wedgwood's
measure put the House on record
as Sanctioning King Edwards mar
riage to Mrs. Simpson in advance.
It would also constitute repudi-
alton of any successor to King Ed
ward should he be forced to abdi-
cate, and at the same time rem

and binding even If the Archbishop
of Canterbury refuses to officiate,
as he has threatened to do.
Explaining his motion, Wedg-
wood said:
"The thing we have got to
avoid more than anything else
is abdication.
"The King is beloved. Any
change will tear the country in
two. If a general election fol-
lows on the question, the reply
will be on the side Of the King.
"The vast bulk of people hate
seeing a man bullied, and will
respect a man who stands up for
his rights.
"The coronation service is
only a church performance and
has nothing whatever to do with
the people of this country apart
from their desire to keep up old
traditions.
whatever happens, the King
must be King"
