Personal Government Rises

Romance.

the seven centuries since Magma
Charta. There would be an increase in
the prestige and power Of the King, o
decrease in the prestige and power Of
Parliament. And If the King should
choose to follow up this first assertion
Of prerogative with other assertions, II
he should happen to have the kifid Of
personality that appeals to the people,
then we should see in Britain marked
trend toward personal government as
distinguished from parliamentary gov
ernment, q trend toward absolute
monarchism.
Personal Government On Rise.
If this should happen in Britain it
would be new there; but it would be
new nowhere else. All over the world,
even in the United States, peoples are
turning to prefer an increase of per-
sonal government, increased central
ization Of power in the individual head
of state. In Italy, Germany and some
other countries it goes the length of
getting rid of Parliament altogether,
transferring practically all power to
the individual at the head of state. II
such a trend should now develop in
Britain, the only thing distinguishing
1t from the same trend in other coun-
tries LIS the fact that the man exercis-
ing personal government in Britain
happens to be hereditary monarch.
If the King possesses the traits of
personality that brought forward Mus
solini in Italy and H tier in Germany,
he would not only bring personal
government to Britain. He would bring
increase Of prestige, a new lease of life,
to the one feature of government that
we all thought was surely dying every
where. the institution Of dynastic
monarchy.
It's a strange world, my masters.
No matter what the outcome of this
royal romance, what has already hap
pened has greatly weakened old stand
ards and old codes in every area Of
life. All kinds of authority, formal
and informal, have been weakened.
The authority of the British-estab-
lished church has been weakened
with respect to divorce With that
goes weakening of the authority of
churches in other respects. And with
weakening Of the authority of one
church goes weakening of others. The
authority of custom. Of tradition, Of
accepted ways of life, even of indi-
vidual standards of conduct-all are
modified.
Mrs. Simpson Initiated.
In New York last week I noticed
that the hat girl at the restaurant had
arranged her hair and eyebrows and
lips and dress to look as near as she
could to the latest-published photo

King must consult this Parliament
later he must obey it. The King be-
came q sheer hgurehead.
Some few weeks ago, apparently, the
King asked the heads of Parliament
the prime minister and cabinet, to pass
! legislation enabling him to marry in
such a way that his spouse should be
his wife, but not the Queen of the
British Empire. The heads Of Par
Lament refused. From this point
there are various possible courses, each
carrying definite implications about
the future of government, not only
In Britain but everywhere.
Big Forces at Play.
Government everywhere, the whole
organization of society, is in fiux, with
contradictory forces in conflict with
each other. One group of force or
the other will be given additional
momentum by whatever now happens
about the British government. If the
King yields to the heads of Parlia-
ment, whether by giving up the lady or
giving up the crown, that would be a
strengthening of two forces. Bizarrely.
the two forces that would be increased
are partly in contradiction of each
other. Yielding by the King would
increase the prestige of Parliament,
and Of the parliamentary conception
Of government everywhere. At the
same time, yielding by the King would
he n Difference Tn conservative tradi-
tions, among others, the tradition
and rule Of some churches, which
frowns upon the remarriage of a di-
vorced person. and even upon divorce
itself.
Might Change Government.
But suppose the King refuses to de-
fer to the heads of Parliament. Sup
pose he refuses to accept the lady's
willingness to give him up. Suppose
he says to Parliament, in effect. ''Since
you won't pass legislation enabling me
to marry the woman of my choice
without making her Queen. then I'll
marry her anyhow, and will continue
as King and she shall be Queen" II
the King should take that course and
get away with it," if majority of the
British people should stand by him,
then we should see a concrete change
in the form Of the British government,
a definite change in its unwritten con-
stitution.
The result would run contrary to
the course Of British government for

ish crown are. it may be said. far
more important at the moment here
than the question Of what the King s
own course might be IN his proposed
marriage. 1t is the governmental
rather than personal aspects that are
stressed in such discussion as is heard
among our officials.

 The fact that spokesmen for Prime Minister Baldwin made no objection to the conservative party resolution to hold all colonies is believed to have closed the door for any negotiations with Adolf Hit Ter or possible colonial concessions by Great Britain as part of 8 gen. eral European settlement.
 It was also considered sign generally that Baldwin has aban- doned hope of 8 successful five power conference for reviving the Locarno pact, and a number of British commentators today ex- pressed the opinion that such a conference was now not likely to be convoked this year.

 without waiting for the start of the rebel attack, now being organized.
 The government has mobiIized thousands on thousandes of new troops. Conscripts of two military classes have reported to the colorS and the workers militia at last has been completely militarized as an army unit, under army discipline.
 Feeling was growing in the most powerful government circles that it would be wise, instead of awaiting rebel attack; for the loyalists themselves to take the initiative.
 Loyalists who earlier this week were shouting the slogan "they shall not pass" in the streets shouted to- day i've shall pass"
 A front page editorial in today's newspaper Informaciones, believed to have been written by Indalecio Prieto, minister of air and navy and co-leader of the government with Premier Largo Caballero, said:
 "Wars are won with the offensive and lost by prolonged rests. The de- lights of defensive positions, placed close to the towns being defended, must be abandoned. We must go out and search the enemy wherever he may be and beat him before he tried to beat us."
 Government authorities announced today the smashing of a gigantic rebel espionage plot in Madrid it. self.
 It was asserted that the plot was for 5000 rebel Sympathizers, armed with rifles, to go into the streets and try to seize control, while a CO., operating rebel fleet of 40 planes bombed the city.
 A militiaman succeeded in pene- trating into the spy ring, 1t was as- serted, and learned that the pass word of the organization was "all of us will die for the Lrord"-to be used as the signal for uprising in case l the rebels approached Madrid. Ponce, acClng on 8 Up, It was said, discovered that a meeting was to be held yesterday in the national h- brary. They permitted all who wished, to enter, then surrounded the ibrardy and swept in.
 They arrested 300 men in all, al- legged members of the Catholic Ac- tion political party and the Spanish Phalanx, the fascist organization. Onehundred of those seized were freed; and the remainder were held as directly implicated.
 Police charged that the plot was directed by Ricardo Beltran, an at torney and president of the Carlist youth organization of Barcelona. He was arrested, as were alleged aides, Jose SrribaS, Antonio Humellas and Eduardo Paternin.
 The foreign ministry denied to- day reports emanating from rebel the government intended to ship sources in European capitals that sums totaling up to $500,000, ,000 abroad by airplane.

 Unusual Situation
 An unusual situation exists this year. The time for filing applica- tions ito be made" expires on Octo- Der 9th. The time for registration and swearing in starts on the same date. Therefore the registrars will have to have a preliminary printed list on hand at o'clock on the morning of the 9th and then have supplementary list printed to take care of those who file electors ap- plications on Tuesday.
 Uphold Record
 In the past years the democratic organization has succeeded in get ting in more new voters than the republicans. Democratic Town Chairman Crary asserted today that he will have greater number of new voters sworn in this year than the g.op. forces of Waterbury. Meet ings of district leaders on both the democratic and republican parties will be held over the weekend for the purpose of perfecting means of getting prospective voters before the registration board, the selectmen and Town Clerk Egan.

 Serve As Museum
 The plan suggests that the vil- lage, if it is iept intact, be taken out of the hands of the corpora ton, which is made up of heads of various racial committees, and be placed under the guidance of one institution. Under this plan the vil- l@ge could be maintained both as an educational exhibit spot, and Nat the same time serve Waterbury as museum.
 The setting up of 8 museum is usually 8 task of no mean impor- tance, but in this case there is ht- tie or no work to do in connection with collecting museum pieces. They exist as long as the village is kept standing and their value would increase with the passing of each year.
 Memorial
 Another suggestion deals with all racial groups in the city organizing to appeal to the state for some substantial financial appropriation which would insure the upkeep of the village as sort of memorial of the Connecticut Tercentenary celebration. The Waterbury con- tribution to the celebration is sure- ly one of the best exhibits offered, and it would be 8 good thing for both city and the state to work CO., operatively in connection with its preservation.

 It he'd been planned to use the @stay in tactics generally, and to occupy all premises where more than 10 walters were employed, but some proprietors - including the owner of the Cafe De La Paix-got the jump on the strikers by lock- ing their doors. The walters crowd ed about outside these establish ments trying to enter.
 By g a. m., there was a general move to close all places affected. Boulevards assumed a mournful air. Tables and chairs were piled up on the terraces. Union delegates sped through the city with the strike order, and it became difficult to get a drink except at the few tiny bis- trots where the owners do their own serving.
 When the biggest and most fash 2onable cafes such as Maxim's and Webber's were closed, it became ap- parent that the strike was having real effect.

He explained that the strike was called because of em- ployers' failure to effect during Sep- tember working agreement draft ed last June. A representative of the employers actually signed. he said, but the employers association objected and the signer renounced his action yesterday.
 As the strike developed walters succeeded in occupying the service rooms of several large hotels such as the George V and Lotti.
 Hotels were picketed, but nnove- ments of guests were not hamper ed.
 While anxious housewives crowded stores and markets, seeking to stock up on goods of all sorts in expecta- tion of 8 30 per cent price rise be- cause of the devalution of the franc, police authorities made ready for a busy day tomorrow.
 There was foretaste of trouble to come last night. Police forbade a meeting of the Croix De Ecu organ ization. Three hundred members were notified by leaders and went to the Sports Palace, at the far west end of the city, to find 2,0OO mobile guards and 500 policemen awaiting them. They dispersed with out disorder. But 800 communists, arriving for a counter demonstration proved less amenable. In 8 brief clash with police, IS were arrested.
