BRITISH ROYALTY
 RUNS INTO FEUD
(Continued from Page 1)

Continued from Page D the queen finally asked her escort to take her and the king back to their automobile.
 Booing at the station had subsid- ed by the time Aberhart greeted the royal couple. He escorted them to the legislative building, where he had placed the Social Credit band to play in place of the 18th Bat talion band.
 After the royal couple entered the building a detachment of naval re- serves took positions in front of the Social Credit band and a band of pipers marched and counter marched, playing, while the king and queen rested in Bowen's cham bers.
 Bowen's Daughter Snubbed
 Aberhart failed to invite Bowen's daughter to the provinces official banquet to the king and queen. After the ceremony at the legislative building, Bowen rendered a tea to their majesties in his own room at the legislature without inviting Aberhart, who waited 20 minutes with his wife.
 At the banquet table, Premier Mackenzie King sat between Mrs. Aberhart and Bowen. Aberhart de- voted most of his attention to the queen during the first half of the meal and conversed animatedly with the king during the remainder of the time.
 Aberhart, leader of the worlds only Social Credit government, closed the government house where the lieutenant governor lived, sev- eral months ago, forcing him to move to a hotel. Bowen had re- fused to assent to several bills, in- cluding a press censorship" meas ure.
 Political opponents of the premier said he acted out of spite. Aber- hart said it was an economy meas. ure. Alberta has not met matur- ing bond issue since the Social Credit government came into power.
 From Edmonton the royal train moved eastward for its next sched- uled stop at Saskatoon at 5 p. m. (EDT). There the king and queen were scheduled for brief drive through the city and departure two hours later.

Adolf Hitler was represented

dispute with Poland, which has
led Europe to the brink of war.
In rejecting direct negotiations

Poland not only included return of
the free city of Danzig and the Polish
corridor, but also vaguely implied he
would insist on other adjustment"

Mussolini would be acceptable as a
mediator, reliable sources said that
