owner.
Griffith handed Schacht a blank
contract and told him to sign.
AL conceded he had lost and

Limit Earning Capacity

Secretary Morgenthau's plan to set a limit on the earnings of capital perhaps is wise, in view of the tenseness of the times. There is force, too, in the con tention that capital will have to do considerable sacrificing before 1t is down to the level of the dollar-a-day soldier, It is to be regretted that the Secretary stop ped short of trimming all the branches that may require prun ing. Most of us subsist through the pay check, yet candor forces the admission that MT, Morgen- thau's opposition to setting a cell ing for wages, using that word in a very comprehensive sense, leaves the impression that he has put at the halfway house, instead of pushing through to the end of the journey.

Since the beginning of the War. Washington has been a popular port of call for European dignl- taries, statesmen and royalty, pos sibly because Uncle Sam has changed the cut of his whiskers and donned the rainment of Santa Claus. A prince running at large in Washington has come to mean nothing at all Neverthe- less, the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor attracted good deal of attention, based on a sincere feeling of goodwill. Eng land now does not entrust it's former king with even so small mission as dickerng for aid. He has stepped down from his high estae. Withal, the Duke IS asSur- ed of a warm welcome whenever he crosses American soil IL is all well enough to say that kings are no better than anyone else, yet most persons are pleased to discover that such merchandise as love, sentiment and romance has so high a value that exchang ing a throne for it is not consid- cred a bad bargain.
