Of that country. but they failed to move
fast enough for the Germans.
Sir Neville Henderson. British Am
bassador in Berlin, was assured that
the troop movements were purely rou-
tine, but Downing Street Is not en-
tirely concerned. The Germans have
again been warned that If they march
into Czechoslovakia, and the Czechs
resist, q general war might develop and
involve France and Britain.
1t can be stated on perfect au-
thority that the British do not intend
to fight for the Czechs and they do
not expect the French or Russians to
do so either. However the official at
titude is that once war starts it may
be impossible to stop its spread. This
attitude was expressed by Mr.. Cham
berlain in the House OF Commons on
March "a, following the annexation Of
Austria by Germany.

Island Sugar Companies
Establish 4-hour Duy

Several Puerto Rlcan sugar COM
panies already have adopted a
four-hour work day and others are
expected to follow suit in an effort
to absorb between $4,000 and $4,000
additional workers, James A. Dickey,
director of the Association of Sugar
Producers of Puerto Rico, said today.
This move is designed to solve
the unemployment problem created
by application of the Federal Wage
and Hour Act to the island territory.
Mr.. Dickey said thousands of
workers in the needlework industry
and other smaller insular factories
have been thrown out of work by
greatly reduced production in some
establishments and closing down of
others claiming inability to pay the
minimum wage of Is cents an hour
The Puerto Rican government has
estimated more than half the is
lands potential wage earners will
be unemployed. Mr.. Dickey said
with no hope of finding new jobs
unless policy of spreading work
is adopted.
The sugar industry on the island
has an annual pay roll of more than
s25 100000 and has been operating
on an 8hour day for both factory
and agricultural labor. Puerto Ri
can sugar workers also benefit from
workmen's compensation act car
rying one Of the highest rates pre-
yailinp anywhere in the United
States, Mr.. Dickey said.

The prince has full month with
his mother in the summer, however,
this representing his vacation
from official duties and schooling.
That's one of his bright spots, for
not only does he see his mother but
he gets rid of the court formalities
which irk him.
King Carol has assumed personal
responsibility for his sons training
and is working hard to make him a
fine man. The two are constantly
together. And they say that the
royal father is doing a good Job.
Mihai is developing exceedingly we'll.
Special School for Mihai.
The King has organized a special
school for his son, and this is at
tended by boys selected from all
classes of society. They live and
study with the crown prince. This
summer they camped out for awhile.
Not only does Mihai have this
democratic schooling, but his father
is constantly throwing him into con-
tact with the people This is the
reverse of the scheme of education
being followed with l5-year- -old King
Peter of Yugoslavia, who is being
kept out of the public eye until he
mounts the throne at 10.
Mihai is what one would expect
to find in any normal boy, prince
or pauper, of his age. Just now he
is at the mechanical stage and is
keen on automobiles. He drives his
own car and knows more than most
people about American automobiles,
which are the favorite machines in
Rumania. Last year the King let
him work one forenoon a week in
an American assembly plant here,
and the prince was right in his glory.
The King is trying to make his
sons training as agreeable as pos
sible, knowing from personal expert
ence how great is the strain on a
boy who is heir to a throne.
Full happiness, however, will come
to Mihai only when his parents are
reunited. The prince is so devoted
to him, that he may indeed have
sufficient influence with them to
bridge the matrimonial difficulties.

By DEWITT MACKENZIE.


Associated Press FOREIGN Affairs Writer.
BUCHAREST, Nov. 15.-Hope has
taken root among the people of
Rumania that 17-year-old Crown
Prince Mihai may prove to be a
medium to reunite King Carol and
Queen Helen, who were divorced in
1928.
Partly the wish is father to the
thought, since the general public
earnestly desires to see the royal
family once more together, with
their Queen on the throne Still.
the idea has reasonable ground in
that the big thing in Mihai's life
now is to get his mother back home,
for he loves both his parents dearly
and the poor lad is having a rather
tough time, with his heartstrings
being pulled in two directions.
There is still another element
which may help Mihai's efforts. A
reunion of the royal couple would
be good move politically.
A>ot oAAAS Wv lAiC pCOpAC do d WlAOlC
want the Queen back, but the un-
tutored peasant folk don't under
stand the divorce at all and are
troubled by it. Under their simple
code of life. man and wife stick
together, no matter what happens.
Would Increase Popularity.
There seems little doubt at all
that Carols popularity would be
greatly increased, and that his
people would be much happier, if he
and the Queen could patch up their
differences. Whether Helen could
overlook the trouble which caused
the original break-Carol's relations
with Magda Lupescu-isnt clear
That's something for the Prince to
solve
Mihai naturally spends most of
his time with his father, since the
heir to throne must undergo the
special and intensive training that
precedes kingship. Being.a crown
prince is one of the worlds tough
est jobs. especially when a fellow
is very young and wants to get out
and play with the other boys.
