The Queens
Minister

1t began auSpiciouSly, the
relationship between the 18-
year old Queen and her
worldly foreign minister. Vic
toria, delighted and tenta-
tive in her new role, sought
the advice which Palmerston
was only too happy to pro-
vide. Advising her about the
mode of inviting a minor
foreign ruler to dinner, he
wrote urbanely: Your Maj
eSty may think this is a small
matter, but the Duke is a
small sovereign"
Alas, for Lord Palmer
ston, this idylic state of af-
fairs did not persist. The
Queen was a quick study, and
in time a natural imperious-
ness was fortified by the con-
currence of her adored hus-
band, Prince Albert. Out of a
volume of their correspond
ence edited by Brian Connell
aptly titled REGINA VS..
PALMERSTON Doubleday;
$4.95), PalmerSton emergeS as
a man who would not have
been tolerated a week in the
Kennedy cabinet. He was
not only inSubordinate, send
ing off dispatches to am
bassadors without the Queens
approval, but between him
and Her Majesty there existed
a basic incompatability about
the conduct of England's
foreign affairs. She was, of
course, a monarchist, he a
firm believer in constitutional
governments.
Man of Expediency
PalmerSton was both
cheeky and willy. Every one
of his dispatches begins
"Viscount Palmerston pre-
sents his humble duty to your
Majesty" but there was lit
tie humility and no dutiful-
ness in what followed. Dur
ing the Italian revolt, he
was on the side of the reb-
els; she with the Austrian
occupierS. Queen Victoria
complained about the flip
pant, harsh tone Of his
dispatches. She told Lord
John Russell that the for
eign minister was a man "of
expediency, of easy temper,
no very high standard of
honor"
In 1848, after nine years
of unrelieved evaporation,
the Queen got Palmerston's
seals of office. In no time
at all, or so it seemed to
her, he was back as Prime
Minister. Some of the early
serenity was restored as he
helped her with pet projects
the resignation of Prince Al
bert as Prince ConSort, the
marriage of the Princess
Royal with one of those
minor German princelings on
whom Victoria so dotted.
Not every word of every
dispatch will enthrall the
general reader. But the book
is an interesting study of a
favorite Washington sub
ject, the relationships of
power. One marvels at the
stamina of these two pen
enemies, who wrote volumi-
nous screeds to each other
and reduced every crisis to
writing.

THE LATE LORD BYRON.
BY Doris Langley Moore.
1inpincott. $S.50.)

(hpplnCOII, $o'0U')
This book is a biography
of the posthumous Lord By
ron. When the poet died in
Greece at the age of thirty
four, he left behind him vo-
luminous unpublished men,
oirs, a reputation and a per-
sonal following probably
greater than that of any pres
ent-day Hollywood star, a
fortune, a literary executor,
an estranged wife, and an in
coherent sister. Posterity
knows much about his life,
and has come to admire Don
Juan" as a unique work in
English literature. Doris
Langley Moore tells the story
of Byron in England during
the months following his
death.
1t is a fascinating account.
The moment the news that
. Byron was no longer alive

through donations from bus
iness and political leaders
and scientific and geograph-
ical societies.
Mr.. Freeman names the
Peary Arctic Club as the
chief architect of the attacks
against Cook. Once the
smears gained headway,
members of Cooks party re-
vised their stories of their
leaders exploits. Scientific
observers adopted an anti
Cook attitude. Cook had
been on five expeditions
prior to the disputed one.
On the Peary side, the au-
thor puts the New York Times
and the National Geograph-
ic Society. Those remaining
loyal to Cook included the
Danish government and
Ronald AmundSen, the ex-
plorer.
Well DOcumented
The ultimate ignominy in
Cooks life was a prison SEN
tence in connection with a
Texas oil swindle. This SEN
tence, as interpreted by Mr..
Freeman, was imposed by a
judge to punish the explorer
for his polar fraud" The
oil lands in which he urged
the public to invest subse-
quently became highly pro-
duetive.
Mr.. Freeman has done
painstaking and extensive
research for many years in
documenting this story in an
effort to do justice to a man
he considered maligned.

This tongue-in-cheek and

Germs a pirate who made the
wrong boat after a binge.
The vessel turned out to be
the Mayflower. Kept within

goals in the current labor con-

ment of policy adopted at its
special convention here in

the burden Of paying rising

Asks Pension Raise
"Other major industries" the
union said, have faced up to
this problem by paying the full

In negotiations at Ford yes

optional early retirement at age
