many take the risks. II the rebel

rope into war, Italy can get as much
out of it by negotiation as by force
of arms. On the other hand, II a
general war results, Italy does not
want to risk finding herself on the
losing side. She wants, if possible, to
remain neutral, as in 1914, until 1t

has been instrumental in keeping italy
in the League. Like Japan and Ger
many, the Italians have been on the
point a dozen times Of reSighing from
the Geneva body. but Drummond, who
knows the covenant and the ms and
outs Of the League as nobody else In
the world, has been able to demon-
strate to Mussolini that withdrawal
would not only give Italy no advan-
tages, but would actually hamper Italy
in many ways. SO long as Italy re.
mains a member, the League will all
ways try to strain point in her favor.
II she resigns, the tendency will be
to leave Italy's interests out Of account.

ment, manned by its own employees.
In Long Island City and in New
Orleans the company operates struc-
tural steel fabricating shops in con-
nection with the warehousing of semi
finished material sent from Pittsburgh
and Aliquippa. 1t has sales offices in
20 cities and a wholly-owned dHtri-
button subsidiary in Canada. Eighty
per cent by value of the material re-
ceived at the Aliquippa plant comes
from outside the State, and rs per
cent of that plants products are sold
and shipped in interstate commerce.
Generally speaking. the same facts
apply to the trailer company and
the clothing concern.
All of these concerns. the Govern
ment contends, seek to maintain q
steady flow of materials through the
channels of interstate commerce TO
their plants. and q steady outgo OF
finished products, which are also dis
posed Of through the medium Of in
terstate commerce. In the case OF
such industries, it is argued. there
Is no merit to the assertion that
workers in the processing plant, such
as the one at Aliquippa, are engaged
in an intrastate rather than an in
terstate activity.

them, take issue on this point and
say that any effect on interstate COM
merce that might arise out Of trouble
with their plant employees is too remote
and too indirect to constitute an
obstruction to or q burden on inter-
state commerce.
In ruling against the board in the
cases Of these three companies the
lower courts relied almost entirely
on the Supreme Court decisions in the
N. r. A. and GufIey coal act cases. In
substance, they held that these were
production industries, not industries
engaged primarily In interstate COM
merce as in the case of a railroad.
Guffey Case Opinion Cited.
In its opinion in the Gufiey case,
the Supreme Court said:
The function to be- exercised (by
Congress) Is that Of regulation. The
thing to be regulated Is the commerce
defined Chat with foreign nations,
among the States and with the In
dian tribes. In exercising the au-
thority conferred by this clause of

sympathy with the duke from Lloyd
George only caused the public to shrug
its shoulders and remember that he
has an old account to settle with
Baldwin, who unseated him as he has
now unseated his monarch.
1t Is with the sense that great
constitutional issue has been success
fully negotiated and finally settled
that the country turns to the coming
coronation with q feeling Of relief
and confidence which was notably alb
sent last year, as the heavy, rates OF
insurance against mishaps then cur
rent abundantly signified. The atmos-
phere Of nervous apprehension and
uncertainty that enveloped the mon
archy has entirely disappeared and
the feeling everywhere prevails that
we are back to the solid and secure
ground on which George v founded
the most universally acceptable reign
in our history.
King Like Father in
Attitude Toward Duties.
The new King has not the personal
attractions which made his brother
the prince charming of the public, but
neither had his father But he has
his fathers plain and homespun quail
ties, his high sense Of duty. his re-
spect for the sober simplicities Of life
and his unquestioning loyalty to the
constitutional limitations of his office.
His first act has been to cancel all the
departures which have been made
during the last year from the practice
Of his father and to restore things as
they were under his fathers homely
and seemly rule.
He has three great assets which are
of enormous value in creating con-
idence in the public mind. He Is
happily married to q Queen whose
artless and amiable character has en-
deared her to the populace, and his
domestic life Is as free from any
breath of the jazz world as that Of his
father was. II no son is born to him,
the succession to the throne will fall
to his daughter Elizabeth, and
nothing appeals 10 the public senti-
ment more than the prospect OF the
spacious days Of Queen Elizabeth"
being recalled by another Queen bear
ing her immortal name. And, finally
Queen Mary Is once more on the stage
from which she has been significantly
absent since George Vs death. And
the public loves her old-fashioned
ways, her fine decorum and her pas
sion for the simplicities of domestic
and public life.
In Q word, we are back under the
new reign to the standards Of
George v. And the public is glad that
it Is so. That Is why all the clouds
and disquiets that enveloped the coro-
nation have cleared away and the
nation Is preparing for the ceremony
in the spirit In which Il celebrated

commercial debts, but rather as a
contribution by America to the COM
mon cause. Furthermore, the French
have always linked the reparations
and war debts when the Germans who
started the World War have ceased
paying reparations.
American Attitude.
The Americans, on the other hand,
consider that the French debt is
already more than halved by the
Mellon agreement and that if the
French have the money for armaments
they have the money to meet their
obligations to the United States. Re-
sponsible leaders of both countries
realize that it is high time that this
unhappy chapter Of the war should be
closed, but they must take into ac-
count the public opinion of their
respective countries.
The French government considers
that the present moment is propitious
for the settlement of this problem
because President Roosevelt has Just
been reelected by an enormous ma
jority. He is known to be friendly to
France. and the French hope that his
authority, enhanced by his resounding
political victory, will be exercised In
making Congress amenable to q rea-
sonable compromise of the debt ques-
ton.
French View on Situation.
Frances policy in the debt matter
must be understood in the light Of
the growing menace to world peace
caused by the rise of the Fascist and
militarist bloc Of Germany, Japan and
Italy. The French believe that the
democratic powers of the world
namely, the United States, Great
Britain and France-must group them
selves together for their own safety.
Certainly the relations between Great
Britain and France have never been
so close at any time since the war as
they are at present, and as the British
foreign secretary, Anthony Eden, has
publicly testified.
The statement Of Yvon Delbos, for
eign secretary, in the Chamber, that
the French army and navy and air
forces will come to the assistance OF
Great Britain If the latter Is attacked,
amounts in effect to q proclamation Of
Anglo-French military alliance In re-
sponse to the growing menace OF the
Fascist bloc.

this is because of a conviction

Certainly there is every inclination

months ago because of his attitude in
the Ethiopian conflict that numerous

houses all over italy were rebaptized
Is now played up in the government
controlled Italian press as one of Eu-
ropes master statesmen.
This reversal of attitude on Italy's
part need surprise nobody. Such
turns about have been characteristic
Of Italian policy ever since the Italian
nation was founded in 1870. and have
been, If anything. more frequent under
the Mussolini regime than any other.
The oldest part Of 1t Is that the
italian public does not seem at all
disconnected when it is called upon
one day to execrate Capt. Eden and
the next day to laud him.
I have q notion that the man who,
more than any other, has been re-
sponsible for switching Italy's attitude
this time Is the British Ambassador,
the mouse-like Sir Eric Drummond.
Drummond, 1t will be remembered, was
secretary general of the League of
Nations from its foundation untirthree
years ago. In Rome. as at Geneva, he
plays q very quiet role. not caring who
gets the publicity so long as he car
ries his point. A devout Catholic and
close personal friend Of many high
Vatican oficials, he has been able at
crucial moments to bring church in
fiuence to bear on the situation. At
the same time, he Is an accomplished
diplomat in the original sense Of the
word 1. e., he Is an expert in "di-
plomas" or documents. He knows
every modern and ancient treaty vir-
tually by heart.

ically in the Chamber of Depu-
ties four years ago this month when
he warned the deputies against vot-
ing for defaulting on the war debts
agreement with America. Nevertheless,
disregarding his appeal, the Chamber
voted by 402 to 187 to repudiate the
Mellon agreement bringing about the
downfall of the Herriot ministry.
Now four years later France Is be-
ginning to realize that Herriot was
right. His successor. Leon Blum, lead
er of the Socialist party that on that
occasion voted for default on the pay
ments, is now taking the lead to nego-
tiate a new debts agreement. The very
fact that France is seeking to settle
the debts question is Symptomatic OF
the grave state of Europe today. No in
telligent person today can be blind to
the fact that the nations of Europe
are treading on the rim of a volcano
and any incident may be the Serejevo
that can precipitate the eruption.
All European nations are arming
feverishly and all of them are tighten
ing their alliances. France knows that
in the conflict with Nazi Germany she
will require financial aid from Amer
lea. But under the terms of the john
son act this help cannot be forthcom-
ing from nations which have defaulted
in their debt agreements With clouds
piling on the diplomatic horizon,
France is seeking to liGuidate the only
element of discord between her and the
United States.
Blum Mourns misunderstanding"
As long ago as last May shortly be-
fore he became Premier, Blum told
the American Club that he hoped to
eliminate what he called this mis-
understanding" between the two coun-
tries. Since then there has been the
tri-partite monetary accord between
England, France and America that
accompanied the French devaluation
by which three great democracies Of
the world undertook to cooperate on
the financial policy.
The Anglo French American finan-
cial declaration of September rs is
regarded here as the first sign Of the
ice being broken between France and
the United States. And the similar
ity of the views on the tariff policy
of the American and French govern
ments has been an important bond Of
sympathy between Paris and WASH
ington. Secretary of State Cordell
Hull is a good deal of Cobdenite
and Blum is also an outspoken advo-
cate of lower tariff barriers.
French devaluation, it will be re-
membered, was followed by drastic
cuts in the French tariff and the
abolition Of many French quotas. Now
the more difficult task of liquidating
the debt issue remains. This problem
is more complicated because Of the
attitude of public opinion in both
France and America. The French

preparations necessary for the
- coronation brings that event
sensibly nearer in the public mind.
The fact that the King who was to
have been crowned has disappeared
from the scene, and that the cere-
mony designed for him will have his
brother for its central figure, so far
from diminishing public interest in
the occasion, has deepened and con-
solidated it.
That think will be admitted even
by that considerable section Of the
public who opposed the terrific surgi-
cal operation which Mr.. Baldwin car
ried through so expertly before
Christmas. The suddenness with
which that thrilling event came upon
the nation is only paralleled by the
swiftness with which the issue has
subsidized into universal acceptance.
While the issue was in doubt, 1t
seemed that, whatever the result. the
nation would be split into two irrecon-
cilable camps. that the monarchy
would be permanently shaken and
that constitutional government itself
would be endangered. Had Baldwin
failed some of these fears might have
been realized. for the conflict turned

Of Parliament
Right TO Override Ministers

It was this fact, apart from the
sentimental aspects of the matter,
which led the anti-parliamentary fac
tions, both Fascist and Communist, to
declare for the right Of the monarch
to override his ministers. They saw
in such an eventuality the emergence
Of q popular" King. independent Of
Parliament. who might be exploited in
the revolution that both seek to bring
about. There is no reason to suppose
that the ex-King would have permit

TN SOUTH AFRICA these dainty
little anteiopes used to be very
abundant. Their number has
L been greatly diminished, but you
may still find them on the borders Of
the deserts.
This antelope has a most discon-
certing way of leaping into the air.
1t stands about 21a feet high at the
shoulder. Few animals are as hand
some as the springbok. He and his
mate are conspicuously marked. The
general color is glossy cinnamon
yellow on the shoulders, the rump and
the under surface of the body, as
well as the face and legs, snowy white.
There is a rich dark band separat ting
the cinnamon color from the white
underparts. You can see what a
contrast the two make with this
division stripe.
But the unusual mark is really the
one OF white that runs from stem to
stern. 1t looks like a narrow ribbon
when the springbok is enjoying a
serene state of mind. But when he
is startled or disturbed, or having a
grand time with his playmates, he
manipulates the skin on either side
OF the white ribbon and then dis
plays a wide band of white hair. But
the strange part of this revelation
is that the springbok, in order to do
this stunt, springs high, wide and
handsome in the air, a leap of IL to
Is feet, which is repeated several times
with vim and vigor.
The springboks have beautiful
black, ringed and lyrate horns. The
males sometimes grow them to length
OF l9 inches, though this is unusual.
Among themselves they are very
friendly. They enjoy playing and
gamboling with each other and en-
gaging in high-jumping antics. They
travel en- masse, and when seen from
distance there appears to be a solid
color moving slowly along. Striking
an easy stride when marching, they
push steadily ahead to their chosen
destination. In the old days before

lures like the lions, they were too
closely pressed on every side to do
any harm, though how happy they
would be to make trouble.
1t is strange when you think of
how dainty and really delicately built
these gentle gazelles are, and then
consider their unexpected and fear
less fashion Of outwitting their foe.
But the lion, wedged in among the
moving mass and hedged in by sharp
horns that can give q painful prod,
moves along. When the vast army
breaks up, they do so without any
warning whatever to their captive,
