! If You Meet
King and Queen

If you should be presented TO the
King there are few don'ts you will
have to remember eXcept-don't t
smoke unless he does, don't keep
your hands in your pockets. don
sit unless he does.
AS you're introduced, you can
say, How do you do, your majes-
ty." You address the King or the
Queen as your majesty" when
you're presented, but in conversing
afterward, just use sir and
madam"
If you're man you'll shake hands
with both the monarchs and bow
as you would to the President"
If you're woman, you'll shake
hands and curtsy if you want to-
It's customary in England but is
not required in America.
You may be nervous at first, but
you'll. soon find them an easy cou-
pie to talk to.
1t will not be necessary to back
away after meeting. them. Even
in England that's only done now
occasionally at the most severely
formal functions.

He's got two tickets from the
British Embassy inviting him to at-

morrow, but he can't use either OF
them.
Such is the sad plight of English
born Arthur Treacher, famed butler
of the films, who is in Washington

the Capitol Theater. Unfortunately
Mr.. Treacher goes to work tomor-
row. The show must go on-even
at Mr.. Treacher's expense.
Just why he received two tickets
was not clear to the genial Mr.
Preacher, former officer with the
Queens Westminster Rifles, who
served at Ypres during the World
Var.
In fact the only way Mr.. Treacher
could plan to see the King and
Queen was by straining his neck out
Of a Fourteenth street window at
the Willard Hotel" around the cor
ner and onto the Avenue"
Mr. Treacher who is we'll over 6
feet tall. apparently was not in

Film Butler to Miss Royalty,
For Show Must Go On :.

Describing himself as "a bit of
shrinking violet in spite of his 6
feet, Mr.. Treacher feels that it's
far more important that the King
and Queen meet Americans during
their Washington visit than spend
ing too much time with fellow
countrymen.
MIR. Treacher was born in Brigh-
ton, Englands famed seacoast re-
sort town.
His family was "one side lawyers
one side brewers.
After attending Uppingham Pub
lie School, he was Immediately
taken into the law offices OF his
father. Then came the war. After
the war, acting-both in New York
and in London, first on the stage
and later in the films-he finally
became first butler of the screen.

| Takes Official
Photograph

George r. Skadding, veteran As
sociated Press cameraman was the
only still photographer admitted to
the reception room at Union Station
to take official pictures Of the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt" welcoming
the King and Queen % Washington.
He has been trailing the King and
Queen ever since their arrival at
Quebec, making the trip with them
across Canada and back again He
flew down from Toronto last night
to get here ahead of them
Selected as the official cameraman
from all the syndicates, he will make
reprints of his pictures of the official
reception under pool arrangement
for general distribution. His equip
ment was candid camera which
he uses without a flash.
The King and Queen are very
gracious and agreeable" Mr.. Skad-
ding said today in referring to his
camera experiences while on the
royal train. Once you get by the
Scotland Yard forces and the
Mounted Police. the rest is very
easy. Frequently, their majesties
would inquire of us, Well, how are
you making out? Are you getting
what you Want?''
There are special rules governing
the taking of pictures. he explained.
For instance, no picture can be
taken closer than 20 feet and if a
flash is used the cameraman must
stand so feet away.
Both the King and Queen were
very obliging when it came to their
relations with the cameramen. he
said, and often went out of their
way to do nice things to make the
job of picture taking a bit easier
and the pictures bit more human.

in the way of a possible step toward
adjustment of that problem.
Lord Halifax, in his statement
said: Il do not share the view that
war is unavoidable
There are problems in Europe
only too likely to lead to war but I
find it very difficult to believe with
the certain prospect of resistance
that those who might feel tempted
to risk the arbitrament of war
would not think it wiser and more
profitable to resolve their difficulties
by negotiation"
Regrets German Charges.
The Prime Minister said in the
lower house that he had observed
with great regret that German
officials continued to make the
allegation that Britain was planning
destruction of Germany's trade.
He made no direct reference to
Reichsfuehrer Hitler's statement
Tuesday that robbery of foreign
colonies has always belonged to the
tried and approved methods" of
Britain and France, but reiterated
his declaration that Britain was
willing to discuss the colonial ques-
ton with Germany.
"On May 49," Mr.. Chamberlain
reminded the House, Il said we
would not refuse to discuss any
methods by which reasonable aspi-
rations on the part of other nations
could be satisfied. even if this meant
some adjustment of the existing
state of things. but I insisted that
such discussions could only take
place in an atmosphere of mutual
confidence.
Confidence Not Assisted.
Il can only repeat my regret that
declarations, whether official OF
otherwise, should be made in Ger
many which.do nothing to assist in
creating such an atmosphere.
Il understand that the B. B. c
British Broadcasting CorpD norm
ally include in their German news
bulletins any important statement
on the policy of his majesty's gov
ernment toward Germany and I
have no doubt they will do so in the
case of my present reply

u S. Sidesteps Row Over
Blockade Of Nuzi Goods

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80 (UP)-'
The United States will suffer "some
loss" as a result of the British
blockade of German exports but
will not be drawn into a controversy
concerning its legality, Sen. Key
Pittman, D., New, Chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations commit
tee said toay.
In view of Pittman's position as
a semi-official spokesman on for
eign affairs for the administration,
his statement was regarded as set
ting at rest persistent rumors that
the United States would follow the
lead of several neutral nations
which protested the blockade. Ban
ming of exports from Germany, the
neutrals contended, illegally de-
prived them of necessary supplies
and materials.
ut is futile to discuss the aca-
demic question as to whether the
blockade is contrary to international
law" the Nevadan said. 1.-The right
of retaliation is recognized as the
justifiable exception to the rule of
law. The question as
to which party was first guilty of
violating international law is mat
ter difficult of determination. Both
sides in the present case contend
that the other first violated it. The
United States is not called upon to
to determine this question.
We provided against becoming in
volved in any major controversies
and successfully. We certainly are
not going to permit ourselves to be-
come involved in any minor contro-
versies."
He pointed out that the recently

Migrants Called
Threat to State
Unless Settled

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 30. cUP)
Harrison S. Robinson, chairman
of state chamber of commerce
committee which investigated Cali
fornia's migratory labor problem,
said today conditions created by
transient labor threaten the Sc
curity of the established order"
Urging business to give attention
and aid to the problem. Robinson
suggested the question be consider
ed from an entirely new approach.
This, he indicated, would view the
migrant as a permanent resident
and "as the California citizen of
tomorrow"
Reporting in advance of the for
NAL recommendations of his COM
mittee, which will report to the
agricultural section of the state
chamber today, Robinson urged that
the people of the state tackle the
problem with a smile-"a smile in
Imperial Valley press., 1939-11-30

which there are evidences of both
good humor and friendlineSS.
"All California business must un-
derstand and aid in settling a
problem which has brought 332. .52f
transitory workers to the state be-
tween Jan. /, 1896, and Sept 80
1889" he said.
This problem cannot be solved
unless We adopt a program that
has never been carried out in Cali
fornia. We in this state and in this
nation are concerned with contin-
uance of social and economic sys-
tenn in which the essentials of free
enterprise are maintained"
He recommended the state under
take social and economic surveys
to provide reliable information re-
garding the average employable
person, the fact of whether he has
a job or not. and the number of de-
pendents he supports.
He said two questions business
men must answer in the problem
were to what extent comfortable
mass action in a democracy can
move the graph of individual failure
up or down and how can those
who succeed give continually to
those who fail or who never get
started.
Business leadership, labor lead
ership and political leadership may
ere long discover that unless they
possess enough wisdom and unset
'ishness to find a common ground
n service to the state and the ma
lion they will have nothing worth
while leading" he said.
The good of the transient work
ers and the good of the state must
be merged, Robinson said, because
he migrants are the California
,itizens of tomorrow"
He said the federal government
lad taken major responsibility in
he first stages of the transition of
migrant into a permanent res
dent by establishing migrant
amps.
California must now step for
ward in carrying the program
hrough," Robinson said.
