A KINGS SEARCH FOR A QUEEN

Marrying and giving in marriage are simple pro-
cesses in all classes of society except that OF royal
blood. The plain man or woman selects mate,
goes to the marriage bureau and purchases IL
cense seeks a preacher magistrate, has the
''knot" tied and theoretically, lives happily ever
after.
In the search for life companion the ordinary
man or woman has millions from whom to choose
Not so with born to the purple. In recent years
royalty has been running out" and the bachelor
king or maiden princess is limited to a score OF
more from which to make selection of partner
Witness the plight of Edward VIII, of England
His people expect him to find a queen. 1t is duty
he owes the empire. But when he starts out to
do the bidding of his subjects he finds about as
many eligible young ladies can be counted on
the fingers of his two hands
The latest princess mentioned as probable Queen
of England is granddaughter of the former Ger
man Kaiser who is now in seclusion in the little
Holland town of Doom. The princess is princess
only in name. The Hohenzollern family is no long
err recognized in Germany and if King Edward
should marry one of that family he may bring
about closer union between the British people
and those of Germany who drove the Hohenzollerns
from the throne. He may make the little German
princess the mother of kings, princesses and
princes.
If this match should be made it will not be the
first union between the British and German royal
houses King Edwards ancestor, George l, whose
mother was granddaughter of James /, of Eng
land, and wife of the Elector of Hanover, Ger
man principalty was called to the throne of Eng
land in TIA as the nearest heir to hte Protestant
line. Queen Victoria was the granddaughter OF the
German Duke of Saxe-Coburg and one OF the
daughters of Queen Victoria was married to Frede-
rick William, Emperor of Germany. 1t is the great
granddaughter of Frederick William who may SIT
on the British throne. The enthusiasm of the Ger
man people should this union take place, will tend
to show whether below the Nazi surface there still

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Peacock and Assistant Secretary
of Commerce J. M. Johnson were
also appointed, the Set-up would
be perfect for the promoters.
Johnson once boosted of his mer-
chant marine knowledge to a Sen
ate committee by saying 81 car
handle small boat as we'll as any
man in this roona."
Senators and representatives re-
sponsible for TIE safeguarding
features of the act are backing
such men as Thomas M. Wood
ward, consumers counsel for the
coal commission and formerly
with the shipping board; Solicitor
Karl Crowley of the i:ostoffice De-
partment; Congressman Edward
C. Moran Of Maine, prominent in
the subsidy battle in Congress;
Otto Praeger of the shipping
board; and Q. p. M. Brown, for
merly of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation.
All these men have demon
Strated a lack of subServience to
shipping interests.
THE Authority will handle hum
L dreds of millions of dollars in
loans and direct subsidies, after
outlining a policy as to just what's
needed for a merchant marine.
The biggest innovation in the
new act is its attempt to guaran-
tee building of new ships through
an authorization for the commits
sion to construct and charter YES
sells, with wide discretion, if it
finds that necessary.
Operating subsidies will be
granted to cover difference be-
tween foreign and American costs.
Construction costs are to be sub
sidized similarly, the Authority
paying full cost to the shipbuilder,
charging the foreign differential
to the Treasury, and selling the
ship to the operator for at least Is
per cent of the cost in cash and
the remaining Is per cent in 20
year notes.

STICKING OUT THE HEAD

When you have a disagreeable
task to perform it is sometimes
beneficial to delay performing it
as long as possible. The conditions
may clear up or the circumstances
may improve. For instance:
Had Sir Anthony Eden, Eng
lands foreign secretary, delayed
u bit in announcing that England
was going to lift sanctions against
Italy he could have saved his face
and avoided severe criticism. Had
Sir Anthony waited awhile, the
United States would have beaten
him to it in the matter of lifting
sanctions or, as we over here call
them, embargoes; then Sir An
thony could have thrown up his
hands in dramatic despair and eX-
claimed to the wide, wide world,
eve are sunk. The United
States has lifted sanctions. We
are helpless without the support
of that country. There is nothing
left for us to do but to lift sane
tons, too" And everybody would
have agreed with him.
If it is necessary to stick your
head out, stick it out. But make
sure that it is necessary to stick
it out. For instance again:
When a man returned to his
apartment one evening he was
told by his wife that the janitor
had been exceedingly insolcnt to
her. The husband ripped out an
'expletive, threw his hat and coat

WE sHUN FOREIGN CONFLICT AND
FACE INTERNAL WAR! 49,.
(By BRUCE CATION

You can always make honest, Americans
indignant by reminding them that the
world never yet has devised any way OF
settling disputes between nations but tne
costly, wasteful, and inexpresslbly palnlui
resort to force.
Everyone agrees that this is sad COM
mentary on the good sense of the human
race, especially that part of the human
race which lives in the ancient, proud, ana
incurably pugnacious countries OF Europe
We don't seem to be able to understand
however, that we in the United States have
been equally stupid.
For our internal quarrels also get settled
by force-force which, IN its apphcaVlon'
in the toll it levies on innocent oystanaers'
and in the genreal MISUNDERSTANDING belt
air which pervades it, is direct and ugly
parallel to the force used in international
warfare.
Right now we may be walking straight
into q great steel strike. No one above the
kindergarten age needs to be told that sucn
q strike would be horribly expensive. IL
would be expensive not merely to the So'-
OOO, 600, 900 steel industry and to the Tar
flung labor organizations which partake
of it directly, but to the rest OF the country
as well.
People would be killed, property would
beSdamaged, hatred and suspicion that Will
be- wears in dying would be created, ma
tional prosperity would get direct ana
possibly ruinous setback.
II is national problem just as inescap-
abty as invasion of our land by foreign
army would be a national problem.
The no-man's land of American life IS
broad land indeed. Corporations with an
aggregate wealth greater than that OF
some independent nations can exist IN IL;
struggles as bitter and as deadly as Gen.
trail American war can take place IN III
embattled labor unions numbering more
mon than are enrolled in both the United
States army and navy can fight 1t; ana the
United States government can do nothing
to interfere.
To all intents and purposes this great IN
dustry. with it's half-million workers AND
its vast aggregation of capital exists Out
side the United States. But the rows tha
it gets into, the bloodshed and hatred thai
these rows ,engender, the financial losses
that they cause-all these take place rlgh
in our midst. .- .@
It is American blood that is shed, Amer
lean minds that are inflamed by hatred
American money that is lost, American
property that is damaged
1t may indeed by very stupid OF the hu
man race to go on putting up with war al
the one method of settling disputes be
tween nations. What, then, is to be SAID O.
the yworlds richest nation when it puts VI
with war as the one means of settling
great industrial dispute?

w Roosevelt has a fine chance
10 start making good on his &C
ceptance speech when he ap-
points the 6Ye members of the
new Maritime Authority. which
will plan, build UP, regulate, and
substitute the American merchant
marine.
But. it will be practically a
miracle II this commission is kept
out of the hands of the shipping
promoters who have been drain
ing huge profits from federal
subsidies ever since the war and
have left the taxpayers with a
pitifully inadequate merchant
fleet.
The new ship subsidy act, latest
Of many efforts to expand the
merchant marine, was a victory
for those who sought safeguards
against the predatory promoters
who have dominated Secretary of
Commerce Roper'S shipping board
bureau anI continued the scam
dals of previous administrations.
The victory will be empty I'M
less an authority is appointed
which will make those safeguards
operative. The subsidy lobby
seeks to pack the commission and
its staff win as many friends,
plants" stooges, and pipelines
as it can get in.
OPERATORS are said to be
" making a strong drive for ap-
pointment of White House Secre-
tary Marvin Mcintyre as one of
the five commissioners. Big
hearted "Mac" has always been
their pal.
Some who know Roosevelt's

Bucharest from an unsightly viii

ter of art and culture. And he
made Rumania one of Europe's
greatest grain-producing countries
But, at the same time, he
neglected the peasantry and as
many as five times had to put
down peasant uprisings. His own
fortunes grew upon the taxes he
levied on the people.

MODERN RESIDENCE UNDER
F H A PLAN

A five-room residence meeting
the property standards and the
loan insurance regulations of the
Federal Housing Administration,
which can be built for as little as
$1,000, ha3 been designed by Leslie
}. MahoE ", mo1.h . of the Phoe-
nix archi ,cctuI-l / "A of Lescher
and Mahoney and chief architec-
tural supervisor of the housing ad-
ministration for Arizona, it was an
nounced today.
The design, produced as an ex-
ample of what can be done in the
low-priced home construction field,
is in line with President Roose-
velt's desire that the benegits af-
forded under the provisions of the
National Housing Act be made
available to more people in the
laW-lncome groups, who can af-
ford to own only dwellings rang
ing from $1,000 to $1,000 in cost.
Publication of specifications for a
minimum Arizona home" follows
closely announcement from Wash
lngton a few days ago that hous-
ing administration tee h n C i a S
there had drawn plans for a min
imum home" of four rooms which
can be built for as little as $1,000
in sections of the country where
building costs are low.
The Arizona house, which has
two bedrooms, bathroom, living
room, kitchen and dining nook,
contains 572 square feet, with "a ad-
ditional square feet in a spacious
front porch. The construction,
while not definitely fixed, is sug-
gested as follows:
Floors to be of plain concrete,
colored as desired and laid direct
ly on the ground. Walls to be of
atwood frame construction, board
and battin or similar type. The
rafters will be exposed over the
ceilings and stained in colors as
selected. Roof to be of wood shin
giles laid over tight tongue-and-
groove boards which will form the
finished ceiling on the inside. Win
dows to be of wood, both double
hung and easement type. The doors
will be of the built-up type with
iron hinges and latches, and a
French door for the entrance.
The interior finish of the walls
may be of either knotty pine pan
cling effect or three-ply veneer
forming larger panels which may
be shellacked and waxed. The ce-
ment floors will be heavily oiled,
then waxed and polished.
Plumbing fixtures are plain white
of an economical type, connected
to water supply and sewer system
or septic tank, with a hot water
heater in the kitchen. The kitchen
will be completely equipped with
cupboards, drain-board, sink and
the usual appliances.
The porch will be of red brick
laid in sand.
Interior colors may be in light
gray stain, with ceilings stained
either gray or light brown, and
bathroom and kitchen painted
white. The fireplace in the corner
of the living room will be used for
heating the house and for the hot
water heater and stove vent.
A suggested exterior color scheme
provides for walls of aged white,
with brown stain shingle roof, smut
ter of yellow and red brick floor
for porch.

ut is presented merely as an ex-
ample of what can be done in the
low-priced field. While the Federal
Housing Administration seeks to
encourage the production of such
houses in greater number, in order
to meet the needs of families hav-
ing incomes in the $100 to $3.50 per
month bracket, there is no inten-
ton of furnishing stock or 'prepar-

ing administration has consistently
sought to avoid Standardization,
which would result from use of
stock plans on a national or even
statewide scale. On the contrary,
the administration is keenly aware
of the desirability of maintaining
and developing local traditions and
producing houses with individually
suitable to local topography and
climatic needs.
