 Less than a year later. on June 24. l932, an army revolt in Siam seized the government. King Pra- jadhipok and Queen Rambaibarni were on vacation when this coup was executed. but were brought back by the revolutionists. The out come was the end of Siam as an absolute monarchy and substitution of constitutional system.
 In October, 1883, one of the royal princes headed rebellion against the new order which was put down only after a sharp, bloody battle. on the ground and in the air, on the outskirts of Bangkok.
 Late in December that year the king announced plans for another trip to the United States. This started in April, 1884, and was rout- ed via the Mediterranean, France and England. It ended in London where on June 6 Prajadhipok un- derwent an operation for cataract on his right eye. The king and queen fingered in Europe, planning to proceed to America in Septem- Der, but political troubles developed at home and after months of ne- gotiations which included visits by special missions from Siam, he ab- dicated. ,g+a .e~

He told the senate that congress

cision on the number of planes,
tanks. ships or other weapons pur-
chased with the $1,000, 100000 to be
released to England. Greece and
China will be made until the ma
terials come off the production line.
Knox also disclosed that Mr..
Roosevelt had created an inter-de-
partmental committee of Secretary
of State Cordell Hull. Secretary OF
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau
Jr., Secretary of War Henry l.
Stimson and Knox to handle the
release of all war materials to for
eign governments under the lend
lease bill.
Knudsen's optimism regarding
this nations productive capacity was
shown in his replies to questions
about the ability of industry to
absorb orders for $1,000 100000
worth of equipment in the next
two years.
Eyes. sir. that will be my prob
lem" Knudsen replied. "Of course
there's a lot of doubt in peoples
minds as to whether we could pro-
duce that many man-hours in
America within a given time. but
we have such great reserve sJ-
plies TO draw from, we have such
great experience behind us. it is
only this learning and tooling, that
we have to go through.
Once we surmount that there
isn't any question in my mind that
We can make twice as much as
anybody else can make; and I say
that advisedly. I have been in the
countries over there. I have seen
the plants. I have operated plants
over there; and when it comes to
getting fooled up, after We do that
over here you won't have to be con-
cerned about the output, l am quite
sure"
Knudsen told the committee that
if congress makes the full S7,000,000
600 Immediately available in cash
1t will facilitate quicker and cheap
er production of war materials.
Knudsen estimated that the ex-
pansion of the defense program
would place another 100000 un-
employed men in jobs before the

Most of the governmental reor-
ganization bills were authored by
Senator John Phillips and a group
of economy bloc" senators. The
first 'Ido pass recommendation
to transfer the narcotics division
into the state bureau of criminal
identification was opposed by Paul
Madden, division chief.
Madden charged the department
of institutions was secretly pros

system of narcotics treatment"
which he said was abolished in 1882
to prevent addicts from receiving
narcotics in clinics.
The league of women voters op-
posed the do pass" recommendation

the social welfare board, making it
only an advisory body.
Favorable recommendation also
was given bills to abolish the Cali

ferring its powers to University OF
California and the bureau of juven-
lie research.
Bills were set over until later
which would abolish the architec-
ture division, schoolhouse planning
division, and name the director OF
public works from among division
chiefs. A move to transfer duties OF
the building and loan commissioner
to the banking department was re-
referred to the financial iHstitu-

The senate labor committee killed
or tabled several bills, including one

This argument is presented with
