It's Your LOrdShip
NOWFOr O'Brien,
Of Pittsburgh

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 U.N.S0.
Raymond Moulton O'Brien, 81
year-old son of the late John Denis
O'Brien, of Pittsburgh, can now
be addressed as Your LordShip."
O'Brien revealed here today that
he has been acknowledged by the
British crown as the rightful Earl
of Thomond and, when King Ed
ward VIII is crowned in West
minister next May, he and his wife,
the former Vassilia ComteSse Gui-
laris De Zante of Greece, will be
privileged to bow before his
majesty.
OBrien, an authentic descend
ant of King Brien Borohime,
famed in Irish legend, explained
that the title he now holds was
lost in the varying loyaltieS Of the
American Revolution. He said:
"The last recognized Earl Of
Thorn mOnd, Percy Wynham
OBrien, died in 1774, supposedly
unmarried and without issue.
Actually, unknown to the
heraIdS Of that day, there was
a legitimate son who had emf
grated to America.
"My real father, now dead,
was the direct descendant Of
this emigrant O'Brien, and he
got together the necessary dOcu-
mentary proof to show there was
a legitimate branch Of the earl
dom. He found the last !arIS
marriage certificate, which bad
been lost because the wedding
took place in NOrmandie. The
earl brought his wife back with
him to Ireland and their son was
born in Bray and baptized in
Tullagh, Clare. Then my father
established that this son was
the one who emigrated to
America"

PRAISES
LAND0N AS
u. 5. HOPE

George N. Peek, former head Of
the Agriculture Adjustment Ad-
ministration and Export-Import
Bank chief in the Roosevelt New
Deal, last night declared his sup
port of Governor Landon for
President.
Assailing President Roosevelt
for his broken pledges and his
destruction of farm income, Peek,
q lifelong farm leader, said:
"The Republican party and
its candidate have met Squarely
the issue, picking up the promises
dishOnOred by Roosevelt and
pledging themselves to their
honest fulfillment."
Peek made his announcement
in a. radio broadcast. He recently
had declared he was unable to
support Roosevelt. At that time
he said he would make known
his position in regard to Governor
Landon, after the governor had
stated his farm and foreign trade
program.
Expressing entire satisfaction
with the Landon policies, Peek
said:
"MOst of the farmers prob
lens fall in two general classes
the hazards of nature and
the hazards of markets. Cover
ing these the Republican plat
form of 1886 promises three
things Of paramount importance
to agriculture:
Il. The American market for
the American farmer.
"2. Government assistance In
dispOSing Of surpluseS in foreign
trade through selective bargain
ing.
"s, Tariff benefits on export
crops.
"These pledges strike directly
to the heart of the long farm
battle for equality for agricul-
ture. They are what the farm
erS themselves have been de-
manding as a matter of eco
nomic justice for the last Is
years. They formed the basis
of the McNary-Haugen discus
siOns Of the twentieS, and they
were incorporated in the Demo
cratic platform of 1928 and
again in 1892. They were ex-
pressly reiterated by Mr.. ROOSe-
welt in his 1892 campaign
speeches:
"At Baltimore he pledged
that there would be no reduc-
ton of agricultural tariffs.
"At Sioux City he promised
an expansion of markets for
surpluSes through Yankee trad
ing
cat Topeka he promised a
tariff benefit on export crops,
the price of which was deter
mined by world markets.
"The farmers believed these
promises and many flOcked to
his cause, myself among them.
Mr.. Roosevelt was elected, but
the promises were not kept"
