London, May 20.-(AP)-Reliable
signs today indicated unusual un-
animity of British opinion favoring
a tie-up with Soviet Russia as nego-
tiations designed to bring Moscow
into the French-British front shifted
to Paris.
Significantly, only one newspaper,
the Daily Press, was cool to quickest
possible action, and it conceded that
the public want an alliance"
why don't they get on with it?'

to the negotiations, which now are
more than two months old. In buses.

were anxious for an agreement with
red Russia, whose communism no
longer seemed to cause misgivings.' y

sire Of the country if they rounded
off their other signal successes in
forming a peace front by coming to
an agreement with Russia with as
little further delay as possible" said

Ottawa, Canada, May 20.-(AP)-
Two regiments of Canadian guards
performed the .time-honored cere-

king was born December IA, 1895,

United States
The king was driven in an auto
mobile from the governor generals
residence to Parliament Hill with
an escort of mounted Royal Cana

Elizabeth preceded him to the vast
square in an automobile with Lady
Tweedsmuir, wife of the governor
general, and watched from a window
of his chamber in the Parliament

Trooping the colors, a ceremony
whose origins lie deeply in English
tntiquity, was carried out by the
governor. generals footguards of
Ottawa and the Canadian Grenadier
Guards of Montreal
There were at least 10000 per-
sons in the milling crowds, the
largest ever to assemble on the hill.

Argentine's
Beef Cheaper,
Not Better
By CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, May 2O.-It was to
have been expected that President
Roosevelt's approval of big order
of Argentine canned beef for the
United States navy would evoke an
immediate howl from our own live
stock growers. But what seems to
have hurt even worse than the ac-
tual approval of the Argentine or
der was the supplementary presi-
dental remark to the effect that the
southern republics meat is cheaper
and infinitely better than ours.
Well, it is cheaper That is to say,
the Argentinos considerably under
sold our domestic packers on this
particular order. We have a stiff
tariff on the South American prod
uct, but, tariff and all, they offered
to undersell us. Our cattlemen re-
join that the Argentine government
subsidies its meat exports. Possibly
it does. Yet the fact remains that our
navy saves money by taking that
canned stuff. Being personally free
trader, like State Secretary Hull, who
is said to have inspired the Argen-
tine purchase, in connection with his
reciprocal commercial policy,
haven't much sympathy with the pro-
tective argument against buying from
our Latin American neighbors.

NO CENSORSHIP

Presidential Secretary Stephen Early has clarified his statement that the President does not in- tend to impose any censorship oi press or radio for the present al least" He meant, Early explain ed later unless the United Stat es goes to war"
 Well, that makes 1t clear. Ev erybody already understood that in case of war all the accustomed liberties of free speech and the free printed word, as well as a lot of others, would go down the drain.
 The assurance that there are no such plans at present is good. But with the eternal vigilance that is the price of liberty, Am ericans will do well to watch closely for any infringement on it. Meanwhile, they can do much to prevent consideration of any such steps by accepting the re- sponsibility of speech and print and using neither for unruetral purposes.

K. R. Reorganization
Steps Pretty Hard
on Favorites' Toes

Observation-Disclosures
Roosevelt played no favorites
in his first reshuffling of fed
eral offices under the reor-
ganization act. If anything,
he stepped rather hard on four
favorite cabinet members
Messrs. Ickes, Morgenthau,
Hopkins and Wallace.
Mr.. Ickes lost four important
functions hitherto performed by
his department, and stripping him
of authority over PWA grieved
him. The secretary of the treas
ury lost personal control of the
budget bureau and the public health
service, and the latter agency was
one of his favorites. Mr.. Wallace
had to give up the bureau of pub
lie roads, which brought him more
political prestige and local con-
facts than is generally realized. In
return he got only farm lending
agencies which often cause more
headaches than pleasure. Favorite
Hopkins lost few minor offices
and got nothing in return.
