border with his life. his playmate Magda, and
not much else Michael now 20, was old
enough to rule in his own right a real king
at last. and started out to live like one only
to find himself with more clothes and less
liberty than ever, He is still prisoner in the
palace and his ministers are even more in
exorable in telling him exactly what he must
and must not do.
Following in his fathers footsteps. he
decided to play with an interesting girl-frend,
Irene Malaxa, known as Lulu"
Presently his ministers informed him that
for reasons of state. it would be impossible
for the King of Rumania to go out and see
Mademoiselle Lulu any more. This was most
annoying but perhaps it would be just as well.
if she visited him at the palace in Bucharest.
The servants were therefore ordered to
air out and dust off the apartment which
used to be occupied by Madame Lupescu.
Lulu. hoping to become power in the coun-
try like Magda and get her picture in all
the papers as the power behind the throne,
was delighted but failed to appear at the
appointed hour.
Instead came Michael's Minister of the
Interior and his Minister Of War. These dig
nitaries whom he had already learned to dis
like were inexpressably desoiated but must
inform His Majesty that visits by Mademoi-
selle Lulu to the palace would be against the
best interests of Rumania and its Nazi bosses
This was too much. The young King reached
for the telephone, but was told that 1t would
be inadvisable to call the lady's number. 1t
proved to be worse than that, in fact impos-
sible, to get anything but don't answer
through the palace switchboard.
In royal dudgeon, King Michael ordered
the Ministers to leave his presence which
they did, bowling and backing their way out.

liberty was no longer his.
The Nazis had sanctioned Michaers access
sion to the throne and told the world that it
with the unanimous approval of the Ru-
manian nation. To let him abdcate would
perhaps suggest that everything was not JOY
and happiness under the German occupancy.
This would be embarrassing, but even worse
would be for him to get to the United States
with its free press to print the truth which
he would doubtless tell.
The Ministers informed him that he must
remain King of Rumania, during the Nazi
pleasure, until after the war, as long as he
lived. The slight accent on that last word
suggested that the only way to abdicate would
be into the next world.
Just long as Michael is a good boy
from the NaZi point of view and does exactly
as he is told, his life is safe while German
bayonets are there to support his throne.
After the war he may remain a royal non
entity, or worse still, IL his. people ever re-
gain their independence he may have to pay
a terrible price for his Nazi associations. In
the Balkans, they say it with bullets and
knives.
Exactly the opposite but equally full of

Peter happened to be in lucky position which

history of any part of his country, a situation

He was a king in name only under the

more heavily upon them than any other

salaries
1t has been estimated by Senator Taft
that five billion dollars of additional re-

BALTIMOREAN PASTOR
BEMOANS LACK OF
LEADERSHIP AMONG BAPTIST
Ponders Successor to Late DR.. L K.
Williams i. Says National Baptist
Convention Needs Reorganization 4.
Advocates Free Thought And
Expression Among Ministers

BALTIMORE -(ANP) Rev.
George A. Crawley, pastor of
Baltimore's st. Paul Baptist
church, declared this week that
the recent death in an airplane
crash of DIR. L. X. Williams, presi-
,lent Of the National Baptist Con-
vention, left that great confer
ence body cropping in the dark
and without adequate leadership
to carry on the Baptist program.
DR.. Williams, who pastored
Chicago's famed Olivet Baptist
church (said to be Americas
largest Protestant church organi-
zation) was also nationally known
as a Race and civic leader, and
as q lifelong Republican held
rank in the inner councils of the
Party.
Pointing to a solution of the
difficulty now confronting the
National Baptist Convention, Rev.
Crawley said:
'The great question of today
in our UNCONVENTIONAL circle is:
Who shall be the next president
of our great National Baptist
Convention and what type Of
man shall he be- When Dr. L.
K. Williams died, the convention
program came to sudden halt,
and we are ready now to crap
pie over the problem of the next
president at the expense of the
cause. : Personally, | am more
concerned about making the per-
petuity of the convention safe,
than | am about any man in the
country as president of the Con-
vention.
I'VE have convention and
everything that is needed to make
il the most powerful body upon
earth, but it is like dissembled

knows how to assemble. When
he is out Of place nobody goes to-

Strikes Are Not Necessary
BY Verlin D. Gordon

Everyone hears about the strikes that
happen. But little attention is given to
those that didn't happen.
Those are the strikes that are settled
by conciliation-by meeting of minds
of the various interests involved. During
the past year, for instance, the United
States government conciliation service
handled more than 300 situations in
volving over l.45O.OOO people. In the
majority OF cases, a settlement was reach
ed and the strike avoided.
John I. DAILY, Commissioner of Con-
citation. recently observed that every
strike is an economic loss to somebody.
management or labor And in these
days, the element of loss goes farther
still--to the whole country. A major
strike taking place now might slow the
defense drive to standstill. The deci-
sion of few willful men. possibly taken
in contrayention Of the desires Of the
workers might imperil Americas safety.
The public is sick Of unnecessary
strikes. 1t is sick OF racketeering ele-
ments in both labor and industry which
make such strikes There never was a
strike which couldn't have been prevent
ed, and an equitable agreement reached,
if those on bo h sides had honestly faced
the facts and met around the arbitration
tabe in a sincere spirit
II both labor and industry refuse to
arbitrate, if they permit strikes to be call
ed, only one thing can happen-the es-
tabishment OF some dictatorial govern
ment authority which will make and en-
force decisions whether labor and indus
try like it or not In the interest Of self
preservation alone, it is vital now for la
Dor and management to get together and
settle all disputes before the strike stage
is reached.

Controlling The Floods
OF Hatred

When the SHOWS melt on the far of
mountain tops and the spring rains begin
to fall, then those who dwell by the great
rivers watch for flood waters. What are
,ife-giving streams to great parts OF our
land are devastating torrents to other
sections Flood control is a vital subject
to those who dwell in the lowlands thru
which the rivers course.
The government engineers have made
great strides in averting the damage OF
food. They have built great walls to
wall off the rivers; they have reforested
great tracts of land to absorb the excess
water; they have built great dams to
hold back the torrents and to control
their flow into other great areas so they
may make fertile great wastes
All this Is most essential-but even
more necessary today is a system Of hate
control. AS the fortunes of war wage
abroad, there is growing in this land of
ours increasing hatred and bitterness
Shall we let this flood warp and destroy
much of what We hold dear
We need to build walls Of understand

We need to reforest the SCARED places

bitterness, despair and in tolerance-to
reforest them with compassion, friendli-
ness and love.
We need to dam back the floods Of
hate with bulwarks of ducation-educa-
ton in positive democratic living, in put
ting into practice in our everyday life the
things in which We believe.
We need to divert the stream of hate
into useful channels, concentrating it on
an theology, not on people-hating
only the evil act OF quality. Our hatred
must run between such concrete walls of
our wills, that we will not be guilty of
either injustice or intolerance to any man,
regardless of race or creed or color, no
more than we would want him to be
guilty Of these towards us. Thus and
only thus can we control the flood waters
of hate.
