tween liberalism, as he breaches It,
and conservatism, as his opponents
proclaim it, may provide battle in the
months that precede the next popu-
lar test at the polls-the congressional
elections of 1888.
It would not be surprising II Mr.
Roosevelt came back here in a more
flexible mood II he does, it will be
because as political general he
knows how to avoid a defeat by rails
ing a new issue or by changing the
old issue to a new kind Of contest.
My own impression is that Mr..
Farley already has reported to Mr..
Roosevelt that the votes can be got
ten, but that it might prove costly
victory and that the Democratic party
might be rent asunder. The Post
master General is frank with his
chief, and If Mr.. Roosevelt, notwith-
standing this, determines to throw
down the gauntlet and put on the
pressure back home, the Postmaster
General loyalty will go down the line
and corral the necessary votes.
Somehow the air is filled with
rumors that the long debate and
fllibuster over the court bill will never
materialize, and that the Presidents
return marks the beginning of an
effort to change the face of the
controversy and move the battle for
reform into other fields.

Windsor and His Friends
Fun.Loving Arstocrats May Yet Contrive to Place
Duke and Duchess on Throne.

the Duke Of Windsor will once more
mount the throne Of England, that
Wallis will be Queen and that the
King will be a real King, and not
"puppet," like the man who was
crowned on Wednesday.
Being real king in the modern
age means being legitimate Mus
solini or Hitler. Now, there Is not
the slightest indication, as far as
have been able to find out, that the
Duke of Windsor thinks OF himself
in this role at all. It Is the Duke Of
Windsor's friends who think it would
be fun. The Duke Of Windsor, they
think-or perhaps it would be better
to say they feel-has precisely the
right qualifications for that Job. The
modern dictator Is a combination OF
publicity build-up-inevtiably a man
OF appearance'-sympathy for the
masses, and mystic and divine au-
thority. NV.
Chance for Another Henry VIII.
They say-"the set"-that Edward
has the chance OF being a second
Henry VIII, powerful political king
who really rules. Nor do other anal
ogies that might be drawn appear
to frighten the momentarily Mrs.
Warield. Now, as before the abdica-
ton, 1.-The set" insists that what
England at present needs is a strong
and benevolent king that without
such monarch England will be
faced within five years by revolu-
tion, that the fussy, old-fashioned
ministers will be unable to hold in
check that national discomfort, and
that Edward alone could save Britain
from communism.
All that "the set' has to do, they
think, is to keep the Duke Of Windsor
in the public eye and await the hour
Of destiny. And still in England, OF
course, is Oswald Mosley, who made
it perfectly clear at the time of the
abdication that this actually was his
program. One may presume that 1t
still is.
That the British government does
not take this drawing room, chateau
and night club intrigue altogether
lightly is indicated by their attitude
toward the forthcoming wedding. They
do not want the wedding to have
much publicity, they do not want the
members Of the royal family to
legitimatize it by their presence, and
they do not want the Duke Of Windsor
kept in the public eye
What course he will take appar-
emily depends upon the duchess-to-
be. I am advised that the story OF
the abdication and all the facts in it
has not yet been correctly and COM
pletely told. Miss Maxwell Is author
ity for the story that when Edward
abdicated and telephoned his decision
to the then Mrs. Simpson she fairly
screamed back into the telephone:
Don't play into their hands! You are
King! Be a King and not foolP"
Very significant
This column believes in the loyalty
Of the Duke Of Windsor to his brother,
to the present throne and to the con-
| stitution Of Great Britain. But the
whole story may not yet be told.
