Carol Grows Up
lCincinnati Ennuirerl


Rumania's position during the Central European
crisis has demanded the guiding hand OF man OF
courage strength. and intelligence. Strategcaly but
dangerously situated between Germany and the Soviet
Union the Balkan state has had to deal with disrup-
tive internal forces well as bear the strain of ter
rifle international tension.
Though time will be needed to confirm the judg-
ment Rumana seems to have done well thus far.
She was forced into economic concessions to Germany
but has got something tangible than pledges
of protection" in return. She energies from the deal
ings with her political independence not seriously
impaired Meanwhile, revolutionary influences have
been dealt with surely if ruthessy, and a domest-
cally strong government continues.
All of this, oddly enough, is the work of a man
who was popularity known as the "payboy' of Europe
just few years ago The early escapades of King
Carol II were notorious throughout the world Twice
married and twice divorced Carol rritated European
royalty with his mistresses-first zzi Lambrino and
then the buXom and merry Magda Lupescu. Even as
recently the funeral of George of England there
was the escapade in which Carols marched by
his side in the cortege, while photographers identified
him Rumanan nobeman.
A profound change in King Carol has become
evident during the last two years He became stu
dent of the writings of Machiavel the master of
political intrigue of Cusave LIE Bon the genius of
mob psychology and of Adolf Hitler When last year
he toured the capitals of Europe seeking concessions

The total for the bennium expected from the fish

half of the whole general fund estimated revenue
total which is SO $4,000
The salmon industry is directly responsible for
9O5 600 of the money which will go for Territorial
government purposes in the next two years Thus it
is readily seen what season in which the industry
did not operate would mean to Alaska 1t would mean
that half of the activities government here would

The road fund.- it is admitted, would be hardest hit
OF all because it be cut with less difficulty than
can most other budget items Probably there would
be new construction at all if the salmon industry
failed to operate Services of the Department of
Health would be reduced much more than the amount
by which the Departments budget would have to be

Industries of the future Allowances for relief and
pensions would have tc be trimmed
This is not pleasant situation to contemplate,
but it is the situation which would prevail if any
thing happened to keep the salmon fishing industry
from operating

A Brave Sermon
New York Times

No Palm Sunday sermon delivered in this
city could have been moving than that preached
by Father Francis Quinn to beleaguered gunman
holding two elderly hostages under the point of his
pistol II took brave and stout heart to do it.
And shows that the faith which casts out fear can
still accomplish miracles.
Here was fighting fugitive fresh from hold-up
and cornered by fifty armed police Behind the door
which shut out his besegers he threatened the lives
of the terrified couple whose home he had invaded.
Down the hall and toward that door the Priest ad-
vanced, armed only with message to a criminal S
conscience For hour Father Quinn pleaded against
the argument of loaded gun. What he said he re-
calls only in dsjoned snatches. But in essence it
the old appeal to mans better nature. The Priests
final words use your heart. Come out. Have
heart for the old people here" moment later he
took the fugives weapon and the police came in for
their prisoner.
What went on behind the muzzle of that gun?
Terror and passion certainly contending in the
mans mind when the priest first spoke to him. Per-
haps his passion cooled as he talked and bargained;
perhaps he yielded only to hopeless odds or the assu-
ance that the police would not mstreat him Yet it
possible think that the Priests quiet words awoke
in him something he had forgotten ever there
Father Quinn will think and accept that for his
reward.
