Post-Withdrawal Of Dollar

William Nick. Clayton was in

recommended for the trophy TO be
presented to the outstanding civic
worker by the Brightwood Citizens
Association at q meeting held last
night in the Paul Junior High School.
The association adopted a resolu-
ton opposing an increase In street car
and bus fares and withdrawal of the

the part of the Public Utilities Com
mission to prevent increases in trans
portation rates was deplored, and
steps were urged to be taken to give
the commission greater powers in this
respect.

it being pointed out that the work

prime minister The King lost, lost
so definitely that he was obliged to
abdicate Today, parliament is SUE
preme over the monarchy to a greater
extent than at any time in the seven
centuries during which parliament
has been rising.
Parliamentary government increases
its strength in Britain. But how
about elsewhere? In the worldwide
conflict between parliamentary gov
ernment and personal or dictator gov
ernment, Is the prestige OF parlia-
mentary government increased by the
spectacle the world has just watched
in Britain? Possibly yes; but the an
swer cannot be known until we see
how the world reacts.
Tradition, Too, Wins.
Parliamentary government wins.
But, paradoxically, 50 does the power
Of tradition win. What King Ed
ward had to yield to was parliament
but what parliament relied on and
stood for was a body of British ira
dition-about the relation of the
King to parliament, about the place
of the church in British government
and society, about divorce as thing
which the Established Church of Eng
land disapproves. The paradox here
lies in the fact that in England the
monarch is supposed to be the per-
sonification of tradition. In this case,
tradition wins, but the monarch loses
The monarch loses-but 1t may not
be that the monarchy loses 1t may be
the new monarch will be more Sc
cure upon his throne by reason OF
what has happened. 1t may be-
but it may not be- That is one of
the questions that must wait for time
to answer. The British people have
just passed through what must have
been a serious and widespread dis
illusionment about a king. Will they,
after that, have as much regard for
the new King? Will they to the
same extent respect the King as
symbol, accept him. not as man
but as personification2
What Of World Influence?
Will Britain, as a result of what
has passed, have greater international
influence, or less? Will she be more
compact at home? Will she be more
powerful In Europe? The answer to
that will be important. For Britain
Is the outstanding exemplar of lib
eralism, the principal reliance for
peace, in the present European strain
between contrasting ideals-between
liberal government and autocratic,
between preservation of peace and
ambition for conquest
There may be a curious indirect
effect on the peoples of Europe that are
dictator governed. Germans learned
of the British crisis for the first time
when King Edward abdicated. That
news the Hitler Government could
hardly keep from the people. But
the German Government had forbid
den and prevented all previous men,

before for Hitler to impose censorship
on the German press? Will the Ger

1t was because of what the London

Will all this have the effect of less

tinue the approval or acceptance Of
divorce that has become more and more

hardly seems likely that the informal

Anyhow, the world has seen q
great drama. For the price of q daily
newspaper the man in the street

event as momentous as any that
Plutarch or Gibbon or any other
classic historian ever described. Not
only is the drama unexcelled in his

equivalents. When fiction. the stage
and the motion picture busy them
selves with royal romance. they usually
present it as an improbability, and lay
the scene in some anonymous kingdom,
such as Richard Harding Davis did
in The Princess Aline," and Anthony
Hope In the Prisoner of Zenda," !"
which he located in "Ruritania." The
drama of actual events can be so

BOY, 1S, RIDES
BIKE AGO MILES

''Hi Ma, me and my trusty steed
are way up here and everything's
okay!" With that salutation in a
letter from Rochester to his moth
er,- 18-year old Lloyd Wood ac-
counted for his mysterious disap-
pearance and absence for five long
days and five long night from his
downy cot and family dinner tab
le at the home of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Wood, Hunting
ton, West Virginia. The ''trusty
steed" to which young Wood made
reference was his bicycle which
he pedaled 460 miles of the 900
mile trip to Rochester, where he
sought medical aid. Whenever the
going by bicycle became a little
rough. Wood hailed truck drivers
who helped him several hundred
miles along the way. Upon his ar
rival he notified his distracted
mother who had planned to notify
police Of her sons disappearance.
Young Wood related that year
ago the varicose veins in his right
leg caused an infection and that
while lying in bed he thought of
Rochester. "No sooner than you
can say Jack Robinson, bound
ed out of bed, grabbed rain coat,
few tools in case of tire trouble
and started out with my bike for
Rochester. OF course, / didn't tell
