learning that only few leaders

1t springs mainly from his abil-

This brood includes persistence in the Quoddy

failure to bring experienced legal personnel into

look in his eyes, his gay manner,
his good humor, his comradeship,
his dancing and love of happy

toward the creation of Prince
Charming for the whole world.
His emergence from this half
fanciful creation was a slow and

its people and its problems. He

"A he has become the champion
of the lowly.
Millions in England look to him
as their friend and protector. He
has time without number proved
his sincerity, and his determine
ton to help them at any cost.
England, with her two million
unemployed, her ten million over
population, her housing problems,
her losses in trade, her vast dis
enlargement and deep though 81
lent unrest, trusts this slender Al
year-old King more than she
trusts any other single individual
in the world.
And so it is that the Bachelor
King will have in his strong ath-
letic hands power greater than
any King of England has had for
more than hundred years. It
will be greater because it will
come straight from the people of
England.
His influence on his ministers,
on the elected men who make up
the government, will be greater
than any constitutional monarch
has ever had, because his influ-
ence on the masses of people will
be greater.
No minister, no premier, will
dare to go against this force. It
will exercise the pressure born out
OF the changing mood of millions.

There is no wise man living

England, the wearers of the Vic

spoken against another slaughter

lesson we learned during the war
was that there is no question nor

hope he was expressing. For he
knows the danger of war as we'll

For years he was a glamorous
and gay figure straight from the

Dark Horses
nNE of the peculiar twists
~ which fate has given to the
situation is that both Stone and
Roberts, once good friends, now
in constant disagreement, have
been mentioned as Republican
presidential timber.
Internationally during the past
three years, friends of Justice
Stone have approached him ask
ing permission to boost him for
the nomination. At first Stones
friends say he considered the mat
ter seriously. But for approx
mately two years he has turned
complete cold shoulder to the idea.
Justice Roberts also has told
close friends he did not want to
get into the presidential race.
However, Roberts seems to have
considered the question much
more seriously than Stone. Only
a short time ago it was a ques-
ton of grave debate within the
Roberts family.

NNE of the important influ-
~ ences in the life of Owen j.
Roberts is Mrs. Roberts. A very
live, sagacious and ambitious lady,
she counts tremendously with the

wise.
Mrs. Roberts is of the opinion
that Owen should not risk his fate

tons in the country.

States, but he knows that his
life job now must be in the Brit
iSh Isles.
AS King he will lose some little
of the circumscribed freedom that
he had as Prince. His duties
will be more onerous and exact
ing, but he still will golf, and
nothing can deprive him of the
deep joy and keen exercise he
gets from gardening.
He still will plant his feet in
the good soil of England and draw
from it strength and inspiration.
AS he digs among his rhododen-
drons and dahlias, or spades
ground that has never before felt
the pressure of iron or steel, the
thoughts that march across the
screen of his memory are not of
the gay and sportive years when
he was the young Prince, but
rather of the tragic and difficult
years of the present
He sees the marching millions
sacrificed in the slaughter called
the World War-snd he SWears
by his dead comrades that there
shall be peace in the world.
He sees the misery and awful
ness of jobless men and women,
broken and crushed through no
fault of their own. He dreams of
England back to work again.
LIE sees rows on rows of hospi-
l. l. tai beds, and ranks of Grip
pied children, and all the lowly
and abused. He would bring help
and the good life to every one.
He visions filthy two-room tene-
mentS and stark streets of miners
huts and the whole vast problem
of under housing. He would have
decent, happy homes for all.
AS he looks up into the blue sky
he sees the sufferings, and the
longings and the tired dreams of
the whole world as a mirage. And
he pledges his life to common hui
manity everywhere.
He no longer is uncertain or
bewildered.
He not only has accepted his
duty but he has created it.
He fulfilled, as no other Prince
of Wales ever did, the true pledge
of the words "Ich Diem" en-
bossed under the three feathers of
his former crest-"I serve"
In many ways he is still the
many sided and elusive PERSONAL
ity of 10 years ago, but a new
power and added assurance have
come to him.
AS King his new point of view,
his humanity and his battle
against poverty and unemploy-
ment, will mark a whole period.
And now at the close of this at
tempt to paint the elusive spirit
that is the new King, Edward
VIII, I would end by quoting
again what the little housemaid
said to me in London when I
asked her why it was that she
would rather see the then Prince
of Wales than even George v or
Queen Mary
ITS because he is so good to
all us poor" she explained. Hes
trying every way he can to help
u.s."
I can think of no finer thing to
say about any manor any King.

seems quite likely that the coming year will bring

Handicaps of the Throne

MO doubt those little journeys of Edward VII
have been exaggerated, for man of his station
can hardly lose shilling without it's being said that
he is squandering the peoples hard-earned money,
or bow to woman in public lest ne be accused of
leading double life. Nevertheless, Edward VII un-
doubtedy knew his way around and was friendly
with people of class who found themselves excluded
from the royal presence when King George assembled
the throne
George appears to have been thoroughly domestic,
thoroughly ar-Stocratc and total stranger to the
sort of frivoity which appealed to his father before
him and his son.
The new King has rather extensive personal ac-
qualntance among the English journalists. It is
hardly likely that he will adopt Rooseves practice
of inviting so or 100 reporters into his office to
fire at will, but it is by no means unthnkabe that
as King ne should continue to talk with his news
paper coverage just as he has been doing for years.
The English understand the power of publicity or
balyhoo, and if presidents and dctators receive re-
porters, why shouldn't the King Of England?
1t doesn't seem quite possible that as King the
young man who used to do pretty much as he pleased
within reason will continue to drop in and dance at
night clubs, but it is equally unlikely that man
OF confirmed tastes will suddenly step into a new
character and put all pleasure out of his life AS a
compromise he could invite the night club to come
to him.

Washington Merry-Go-Round
BY DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN

NTASHINGTON, Feb. 10-For
w some time it has been no
secret that there is a definite lack
of cordially between certain
members of the Supreme Court.
How far that bitterness extends,
however, is known only to a few.
Quite open in their hostility to
the liberal wing of the court have
been Justices McReynolds and
Butler. McReynolds blatantly
read a newspaper when Justice
Cardozo took his oath, usually
does not take lunch with his col
leagues, and delivered scorch-
ing TRADE from the bench when
the gold decision was handed
down.
just as rooted, but care
fully concealed by surface cor
diality, is another strained rela-
tionship between two of the
ablest and most forceful men,
berS of the court.
They are Justices Harlan F1Ske
Stone and Owen j. Roberts.
These are the two men who
delivered the vigorous and dia-
metrically opposite decisions in
the AAA case. They are also the
two men who have handed down
more conflicting opinions than
any other two justices. Of recent
years they have opposed each
other all along the line.
And yet-though few people
know it-Justice Roberts owes his
appointment to Justice Stone.
1t happened that Justice Stone
was Herbert Hoover's closest ad-
wiser on all court matters. Every
morning at Z Stone went to the
White House to play handball
with the President, afterward
drank orange juice with him, gave
advice on whatever was on Hoo
ver's mind.
In this way he recommended
the appointment of Roberts, and
later of Cardozo.
