How this solution could clarity the
1910 presidential issue is not appar-
ent; moreover, conservative ele-
ments in the Democratic party
doubt that the commerce depart

business. will like the man whose
job has been to dispense SO, $780,
100000 since 1888.
While gossiping over this morsel,
Washington's politicians have let
pass almost unnoticed an equally
important bit of groundwork lead
ing to 1910. John L. Lewis, c. l. o.
chieftain, has spoken publicly
against a labor-sponsored third par
ty, choosing instead to broaden his
Labor's Nonpartisan league. It's pro-
gram: To elect delegates in the
presidential primaries who will as

candidates" This means that c. 1.
o. endorses continuation of the New
Deal, and that a move to the right
would cause the Lewis front to bolt

Congress

Last winter Texas Rep. Wright
Patman offered congress a measure
to tax chain stores out of existence
Its gist: To levy graded assessments
from $50 per store on small chains
to $1,000 per store on large chains,
each store tax to be multiplied by
the number of states in which
the chain operated. Sample: A chain
operating in 48 states plus the Dis
trict Of Columbia would pay $49, 900
per store annually on each store
over 500.
Though boasting 73 co-sponsors,
Mr.. Patman's bill failed. Also de-
feated was a New York state chain
store tax, which signified that chains
had more friends than their foes had
expected. But an apparently dying
issue was revived as congress ad-
journed, for Mr.. Patman announced
his bill would be introduced in jan

OF all the lesser European nations
subjected to Nazi Germany's polit-
ical-economic pressure. Rumania
has alone stood up on its feet and
barked back. Reason: Rumania
has been able to buy her imports
anywhere she desires, but Germany
must have Rumanian wheat and oil.
Until last fall this upper hand
served King Carol well, but the
ring of Nazi-dominated nations
around Bucharest has now grown
so powerful that he must bow to
Berlin or risk economic starvation.
Thus Rumania watched anxiously
as German aggression in Austria
and Czechoslovakia threatened to
wipe out her prospering trade with
those two nations. Since most of
Rumania's Czech imports came
from Sudetenland, now a part of
Germany, the Reich gained an enor-
nous advantage through this ter
ritorial acquisition.
To WOO Rumania successfully,
Germany must only meet the dila-
tory competition of Great Britain,
whose promise to buy part of King
Carols wheat surplus is overshad-
owed by German offer to buy all
of it. Thus heartened, Rumania
has signed trade agreement
whereby the Reich will take almost
a third of its exports, meanwhile
buying half its imports from Berlin.
How long Rumania can remain
Independent Of Germany's beck
and-call is problematical. Like \

On a gloomy November day in
1881, Spains parliament stripped
King Alfonso of his citizenship and
properties. Already, the previous
April, Alfonso had left for France,
soon taking residence in Italy where
Premier Benito Mussolini has not
been unfriendly to his once-royal
guest.
Since the loyalist government that
ousted Alfonso is now fighting los
ing battle to Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco, moreover since Italy
and Spanish royalists are on Fran
co.'s side, observers have long
thought Alfonso has a good chance
of returning to the throne some day.
Franco hinted as much last spring,
indicating that he might retain for
himself the premiership and thus
make the throne a puppet post.
This theory is now strengthened
by action of rebel Spain's council
of ministers, not only restoring AL
fonso's citizenship, but his lands as
well. How soon-if ever-the ex-
king will return to Spain is still
secret. but pessimists regard Fran
co.'s gesture as merely an insincere
bid for continued royalist support
which has been dwindling in recent
months. Still others think Alfonso
would never return to the throne.
that his job would be taken instead
by Prince Juan, compromise candi-

lists.
