Princess Sues Lord Rothermere
For Aid to 'kinqmuker' Role
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. ga suit by Prin-
cess Stefanie Hohenlohe- Walden
burg-Schillingsfuerst against Lord
Rothermere, publisher of the London
Daily Mail, for breach of contract,
under which she asserts she was
to receive $4,000 (about 100000 a
year for acting as his special politi-
cal representative in Europe, was
heard today.
Counsel for the former wife of
Hungarian prince said Lord Rother-
mere told the princess in 1927 that
he had decided to work for the
restoration of the Hohenzollern and
Hapsburg dynasties He wanted to
be a modern Warwick-the king
maker-and work on the European
rather than the English field"
Later, the counsel said, the prin-
cess rejected an Idea that was put
forward that Lord Rothermere's son,
Esmond, should be suggested as the
king of Hungary"
Other high lights in her attorneys
arguments were:
Cd She obtained from Adolf
Hitler in 1894 an invitation for Lord
Rothermere to visit hlm in Berlin.
Cd Lord Rothermere had royal
reception and told her that Hitler
would make her a duchess
90 THE accounts showed that
over a period Of five and one-half
years Lord Rothern1ere paid the

rulers raised objections to the sug-
gestion submitted more than once to
the Dutch government by the Bel
gian in the last few weeks to the
effect that the military defenses of
both countries should be closely
co-ordinated
Neutral Policy Creates Peril.
To understand what followed, it
must be kept in mind that when
Belgium was released by France and
Britain from her obligations of al
lance in March, 1887, and, to replace
them, obtained a unilateral promise
of French and British military help,
she pledged herself in return to keep
an adequate army and to resist the
invasion of her own frontiers.
AS late as last September Bel
GUM had a chance to be included
within the protective framework OF
the Franco-British military system.
Now, as she perceives that Hit
lerian Germany is inclined to con-
centrate upon an aerial and sub
marine attack on Great Britain, she
fears to be turned into battlefield.
Her policy of neutrality has there
fore created for her the very peril
from which she strove to escape.
An obsolete conception of neu-
trality is, in the last analysis, at
the root OF both nations trouble.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1939-11-08

congratulatory message, and no
official comment was forthcoming.
Several Congressman who did not
attend the Embassy party made it
clear that they did not merely forget.
They were not quite sure, they said,
that they wanted to eat pastry
swirls or sausages on toothpicks
under a picture of Soviet Premier
Molotoff, who criticized President
Roosevelt and the administration
neutrality legislation last week.
The crowds sampled the Bullets,
although many were disappointed
during the latter half of the party
when they were told that the
sturgeon and champagne were gone.
There was vodka, however. both dry
and sweet; Scotch whisky mixed
with Soviet-imported soda labeled
"The Peoples Commisariat of Public
Health; punch, spiked and I'M
spiked; coffee, tea, manhattans and
martins.
Despite the absence of ranking
officials, the crowd present was
large. Among those seen were Edwin
S. Smith of the Labor Board with
Mrs Smith, a White House Army
aide, 1t. Chester Hammond, and
Leon Henderson, securities commits
sioner.

ceptions unless they are given by
a foreign Minister or visiting head
of state. Many diplomats have
SHE'D away from social functions
recently on the plea of too busy"
Reasons for other absences noted
were varied. Lord Lothian, the Brit
ish Ambassador. had "a previous
engagement" French, Japanese and
Italian Ambassadors were said to
be in New York. But many Con-
gressmen had announced ahead of
time that they were not going; a
few declaring the reason was the
international situation"
President Roosevelt was not in
town and he never goes to such
affairs, so his absence was not
notable. However. he did not send
President Kalinin his customary
