Life Pension For
Windsor Opposed
Royal Family Planning to
Finance Ex.King

LONDON. Feb. 11.-(UP).-
The parliamentary labor party an
nounced last night it would OPP
pose any grant OF "life pension
to former King Edward from gov
eminent funds.
The decision, said to have
caused the royal family to plan
private financing of Edwards fu-
ture, created a new controversy
in the midst of the governments
attempt to erase the memories OF
his whirlwind reign and turn the
spotlight full upon King George
WIS Forthcoming coronation.
The Evening Standard rallied to
the defense of the self-exiled duke
and denounced parliamentary OPP
position as a shabby, hypocritical
course"
The labor party also threw a
barrier in the path of King
Georges reported plan to give Ed
ward money from the Duchy of
Cornwall and Lancaster revenues
which he inherited from Edward.
Under the laborite plan the
Duchy revenues would be nation
allied, turned over to the govern
ment which would, in turn, make
a bulk grant to the royal family:
The figure most mentioned in
of the proposed parlia-
mentary grant for Edward has
been $4,000 pounds (S125,000) a
year. ...
The Evening Standard said edi-
toriallv that the allowance of
funds to the former king was mot
a personal one but the nations
own responsibility"
Despite the controversy over
Edwards finances, the govern
ment continued to put full stress
on King George and the corona
ton May IL.

is that "a secure and stable SUBJ
stitute for relief be found
at is a cruel error to regard
any large portion of this popula-
ton as some uniformed common
tators have done, as speculative
investors whose calculations have
gone wrong" the report explain

in labor and endurance, they have
paid for better fortune than has
yet been theirs"
The report, however, insisted
that by following the suggestions
advanced it would be possible to

"In a sense the great plains af-
ford a test of American ways of
dealing with matters of urgent
common concern. They have not
responded favorably to a purely
individualistic system Of pioneer
ing. The committee is confident
that they will respond to an al
tered system which will invoke
the power of voluntary coopera-

the virtues Of local initiative and
self-reliancc."

The report pointed out that the
bulk of the range lands that
should be acquired by the federal
government. lie in the dry, west
ern sections Of the plains near the
Rocky mountain. foothills.
Factors to be taken into con-
sideration should be not only the
nature of the land and its water
supply but also local sentiment,
the predicament of owners whose
resources do not permit them to
make satisfactory living on the
land they now occupy, and the
possibility Of rounding out the
range land at the disposal of ex-
listing grazing districts or associa-
tions," the report added.
The committee voiced caution
about rushing into either irriga-
ton or resettlement projects with
out consideration of all factors.
1t pointed out experts believe
that not more than three per cent
Of the total area of the great
plains can be irrigated. The re-
port said that "if possible" suit
able opportunities should be
found within the region Of the
great plains for those who were
to be moved rather than whole
sale migrations to other sections
Of the country.
In view of President Roose-
velt's comments at his press con-
ference yesterday, it was believed
that creation of such a "continu-
ing territorial agency" would be
part of national effort to save
natural resources. The president
advocated tentatively the estab-
lishment of eight such regional
authorities. Presumably one would
be for the great plains.
Regarding creation Of such an
agency or of temporary group to
act until q permanent one can be
established, the report said:

for this step, and there can be

tive because it is part of a COM
mon effort.
During recent years the eco
nomic drift in the great plains has
been, steadily downward. If the
deplorable consequences, recently
heightened asa result of the de-
preston and drouth, are to be ar.
