In his speech from the throne"
written by his ministers and free
from all sensations, the King
touched briefly on the Far Eastern
and Spanish wars and dealt
lengthily with the tremendous pro-
gram of forthcoming domestic
legislation.
He also announced that he had
invited King Carol Of Rumania to
visit him this spring, and said he
hoped to be able to visit India
at some distant date.
Members Of Parliament, &C.
cutomed to royal speeches from
the throne" found little exciting
material in the Kings speech.
But, for the two little princeSSeS,
one of whom is looking forward
to the day when she will be Queen
Of England, it was a gala occasion.
The King and Queen drove down
Whitehall to the Parliament build
ingS in state in the royal crystal
coach. Princess Elizabeth and
Princess Margaret Rose preceded
them along the professional route
in a closed automobile.
It was the first time either Of
the little girls had witnessed the
ceremony Of opening a session Of
Parliament, and both obviously
were thrilled.
CHAMBERLAIN ABSENT
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain, suffering from q sharp at
tack of govt, was unable to be
present. Sir John Simon, Chancel
lor of the Exchequer, deputized
for him.
In his speech, the king said his
ministers had followed continu-
ance of the Spanish conflict with
growing concern to do everything
in their power to assist restora-
ton of peace to the Spanish
people"
TOUCHES ON EAST
He expressed belief that "strict |
application of the international
policy of non-intervention would
materially contribute to this end"
Turning to the Sino-Japanese
conflict, the King stated:
1.-THE position in the Far
East continues to engage the
earnest attention Of the Gov
eminent, who will persist in
their policy of attempting, in
cooperation with other govern
ments, members and nonmem-
bers of the League of Nations,
to mitigate the suffering caused
by the conflict and bring 1t to
a conclusion"

HOOVER SPEECH
TONIGHT HOLDS
WIDE INTEREST
May Outline New Policy
For the G. O. P.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

Q.N.S). Political circles awaited
with keen interest today the
speech former President Hoover
will deliver tonight before the Re
publican Club of Massachusetts,,
Hoover follows by one week the
SlaShing attack on the New Deal
made by Alfred M. Landon, and
like Landon the former President
will have a national radio audi
ence.
Reports have been current in
Republican quarters that Hoover
and Landon have agreed to take
themselves out Of the 1910 NOM
nation picture.
DOUBT ACCURACY
There has been, however, no
confirmation of these reports, and
the activities of the two since
their meeting at the home of
Frank o. Lowden, in Illinois, have
cast a good deal of doubt as to
their accuracy.
It is no secret in inner Republi'
can circles that the relations be-
tween the former President and
the 1886 standard bearer have
been none too cordial. These re-
lations were not improved at the
Lowden conference, where Hoover
insisted upon his idea for q mid
term Republican rally next sum-
mer to draw UP a set of principles.
Landon and his friends have
been cool to the proposal, in the
evident suspicion that the Hoover
wing Of the party plans to utilize
the conference to promote Hoover
leadership of the party. If not his
actual candidacy in 1910.
In his own speech last Tuesday
night, Governor Landon did not
mention the proposed conference,
nor the former President.
MAKE OWN PLANS
The Landon speech, significantly
enough, was arranged only after
it became known that Hoover was
to make a major political speech
in Boston tonight. The KanSan
made his own arrangements, with
out consulting Republican ma
tional headquarters here.
Landon confined himself en-
tirely to an assault on Roosevelt
policies, and q call for Republicans
to rally in opposition. He pro.
posed no party reorganization, nor
did he attempt to write a Repub-
Hcan platform for the future.
The expectation prevails here
that Hoover will go considerably
further tonight. He will join with
Landon in his general attack on
the New Deal, but he is also ex-
pected to make some proposals
concerning future Republican
policy. There is a vast amount of
curiosity both among Democrats
and Republicans as to the nature
Of these proposals.
The question of the mid.term
convention will be decided next
week in Chicago at a meeting of
the full Republican national COM
mittee. Hoover'S friends here as
Sert a majority Of the committee
already are favorably committed
to it, Notwithstanding that Repub-
licans in Congress, who come up
for reelection next year, are gen.
orally hostile to it.

blamed for at least A deaths
throughout the country.
"A close check of the manufac-
tlrer's files was said to have re-
vealed last weekend 70 bottles yet
to be found. The search had
progressed so far by this morning
that the food and drug inspectors
announced all would be recovered
within g hours.
WIDELY SCATTERED

Tex, and Salisbury, Md.
.Fifty-six bottles were still being
sought in New Orleans, he said.
AS the hunt went on, two reports
concerning Sulphanilamide, the
basic ingredient in the elixir. were
made at the Congress of the Amer
lean College of Surgery.
CAUTION URGED
fOne recounted it's beneficial eff
fects on eleven patients when used
in crystal form, while the other
urged caution be exercised in it's
use.

b the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February IA state
ment asking Protestant clergymen OF
America Ito rally, as patriots, to save
the Constitution land the Supreme
Court as its only dependable de-
fender" was issued yesterday by VIII
liam H. Anderson, general secretary
OF the American Christian Alliance.
Calls for Action.
Referring to President Roosevelt's
proposed realignment of the Supreme
Court, Anderson said:
The only possible legitimate ef-
fective emotional appeal left to be
made is on the basis of unselfish
service, avoiding the slightest taint
of 'bigotry' or religious issue to chal-
lenge the moral constituency repre-
sented by American Professionalism
with over 40 millions of possible votes,
most of them church people, to rally,
as patriots, to save the Constitution
land the Supreme Court as its only
dependable defender) in order to pre-
serve our freedom of worship as well as
our fundamental civil liberties for
Americans of all creeds and races"
Anderson charged the proposal "ac-
tually opens the way to dictatorship"
If this proposal should 60 through,
then, with the court packed to uphold
any legislation no matter how radical,
Congress is the only remaining refuge
for American citizenship" he said.
Declared Appeal to Emotions.
"His (Mr. RooSevelts) real appeal
has been to the emotions and to mass
selflshness," Anderson said.
Mr.. Roosevelts wicked incitement
to class hatred; his firing of the Gu
pidity Of the 'have-nots' against the
'haves'; his favors to the alien mind
ed: his support of the lawless, and his
cunning elevation of the shiftless
and discontented into a privileged
class are not appeals to reason but
sordid tricks to inf1ame emotionalism
at its worst"
HIT AS EVIL PRACTICE"
