to reports that the subject of the
war debts would be reopened.
Mr.. Roosevelt denied published
stories that he had invited Great
Britain and France to begin pre-
liminary discussions for the adop-
ton of a peace program based on
financial and trade factors. He
specifically denied he had invited
Mr.. Runciman to participate in dis
cussions bearing on trade relations
of the United States and Great Bri-
tain which may pave the way for
important moves later but it was
understood, nevertheless, that such
conversations were to take place.
The President said Mr.. Runciman
was coming here on holiday and
as a personal friend.
M. Bonnet said in Paris that he
was coming here simply as an am
bassador and with no special mis-
sion concerning war debts, but it
was considered possible he might
seek to reopen the debt question
in informal discussions.

Fatal Crash of Air Liner
Will Be Investigated

T OSING the radio beam in foggy
weather, Pilot w. w. Lewis pam
caked his Western Air Express
plane with a crash on a hill near
Burbank, Calf, and two of his
passengers were killed. Everyone
else on the plane, eleven in num-
Der, was injured, and two more
died later. The dead are Martin
Johnson, famous explorer, E. A.
Spencer of Chicago, A. L. Loomis
of Omaha and James A. Braden Of
Cleveland. Mrs. Osa Johnson, who
accompanied her husband on his
adventurous expeditions in Africa
and Borneo, was among those most
seriously hurt. .....
There will be searching inquiries
into this and other recent air dis
asters. Senator Copeland of New
York blames the Department of
Commerce. Airline operators have
long complained that certain radio
beam stations in the Far West
are inadequate. Officials of the
bureau of air navigation deny this.

QRITAIN'S plan to bar from Spain
- volunteers from other ma

Russia refused to adopt prohibitive
measures. Foreign Commissar
Maxim Litvinov handed to Ambas-
sador Chilston note saying:
"The Soviet government, although
it presently does not practice the
dispatch of volunteer attachments,
does not consider it expedient to
adopt unilateral prohibitive meas
ures."
Explaining the refusal, Litvinov
continued: 81 consider it necessary
to point out that in the Soviet gov
ernment's opinion unilateral, pro-
hibitive measures on the part of
some participants in the London
committee Con non-intervention)
while other participants not only
are free from obligations, but con-
tinue sending military divisions to
Spain, will not only fail to accom-
p1ish the desired aim but will result
in intervention.

up machine guns to withstand a
siege. On the coast the Fascists
had effected a landing at Estepona
and were advancing on Malaga

since the civil war started.

NEW TITLE RUM0R
FOR DUCHESS HIT
Stories That Windsor's Wife
Will Get Royal Rank
Are Secuted.
BY q STAFF Correspondent OF The Star.

BY staff Correspondent OF The Star.
LONDON, Dec. 16 (N.ANA).-The
appearance of the 1888 edition Of
Burke's Peerage, cynically called the
"British Bible" wherein the name of
the Duchess of Windsor appears i'm
mediately after that of the Duchess
OF Kent, and not at the end of the
list of non-royal dukes and duchesses,
has given rise to rumors that the
withholding of the title from her of
her royal highness will soon be waived
and that she will be granted social
parity with her husband and take her
place in the royal circle.
This correspondent has the best
reason for saying that no such step is
contemplated. The announcement
which appeared in the court circular
last June, a few days before the we'd
ding Of the adbicated King and Mrs.
Wallis Warfield Simpson providing
that the wife of the Duke of Windsor
and the descendants, if any, shall not
hold the title, style or attribute of
royal highneSS remains unshaken.
trary is not in touch with any person
in the royal court, where the decision
that created the present state of af-
fairs is not likely to be altered. This
writer can only chronicle with regret
that the feelings aroused in the palace
circle by circumstances leading up to
the marriage of the Duke and Duchess
remain unchanged.
1t Is therefore most improbable that
the WindSors will come to England and
establish home in this country in the
near future, whatever the more re-
mote future may have in store. 1t is
understood in well-informed circles
that reports to the effect that the
Wlndsors are contemplating buying a
house in the neighborhood of Paris
are well founded. But the unhappy
incapacity of the Duke to settle down
for any length of time in any given
spot is remembered and the possibility
is not ignored that, even after such a
house Is purchased, further wander
ing over the face of Europe may be-
gin again.
The writer has good reason to say
that the planned visit to America
which came to nothing, was pro-
foundly disapproved of by the present
. King, who since his accession to the
throne has largely divested himself
of that shyness and hesitation in ex-
pressing his mind which character
lied him to some extent as the Duke
Of York
His majesty made no secret of his

the future it isn't difficult for any
one familiar with the opinions of the
governing classes of this country to
foretell that such visit would not
be approved of for some time ahead
The reason for this is a strong feel
ing that the Duke of Windsor should
keep out of the limelight, lead a quiet
life and avoid as far as possible hit
ting the headlines.
