BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1936 A 3 Spotlight Europe -By CONSTANCE DREXELMr. Roosevelt Learns About Floral Decorations--Scaring People a Smoke-ScreenLady Astor Questioned admiration was expressed GREAT President Roosevelt, it is reported, over the floral decorations of natural white lilies around the tops of lamposts at Rio di Janeiro. If the President ever goes to Geneva, from early Spring to late Autumn, he will find them on the principal avenues. In Summer, they are mostly pink hanging geranimum mixed with particularly lovely fernsonTb2 take hotels and on the promenade along the lake front of the. Quai Mont Blanc and Quai President Wilson.

Indeed, the cultivation of flowers and sweeping up of leaves in the public parks was undersified, during the worst of the For thus part. were There the neat unemployed circular usereen boxes fittel around the tops of electric light poles--below the lightswhose tasteful blooms are changed three or four times in the season, until the cold bise blowing down from Alpine glaciers fell even the hardiest of Autumn chrysanthemums. An Angry Awakening THE British Tory government expected to cover up its neglect of the distressed areas where hundreds of thousands forgotten human beings are living on a belowsubstance dole, and nothing being done to alleviate their plight, present of future, the King's a visit and its aftermath has brought an angry awakening. Even the Liberals and Labor party have been so busy cursing dictatorships and speeding up the armament program that they, too, have overlooked their promises to these sections of the British people.

At that, according to a letter loined the King during his trip, it appears that his tour was so arranged that he didn't see the half of it. But the King's visit has brought the government face to face with some ugly facts. What is going to be done about it? to make them forget Scare the British public, some more No plans for the distressed areas forthcoming, but an announcement is made that the government must go about hiding stores of food in case of invasion. "What we must do is scare the Birtish people to death." announced Sir Alfred DuffCooper, British Under Secretary for War, a few months ago. Such an atmosphere of fear has served as a smoke-screen for other things besides armaments, in democracies as well as in dictatorships.

Why, Lady Astor! IN VIEW of such a situation, one might be condoned for wondering what Lady Astor meant on the eve of sailing for home the other day. She stated that Britain was ahead in social and labor ideals and that even President Roosevelt, in comparison, was far behind. One might ask Lady Astor, as a member of Parliament, why the British government and British employers have consistently refused to support international legislation for a 40-hour week, when brought up for approval at meetings of the League of Nations' International Labor office at Geneva? A Word About Mrs. Davies most surprising element in the appointment of such a wealthy capitalistic corporation lawver AS Joseph Davies of Washington, D. to go to the Soviet Union as next American Ambassador, is the identity of the present Mrs.

Davies. Born Marjorie Post, she inherited the millions made out of one of America's favorite breakfast foods and is now one of the active directors of the giant corporation. As the former Mrs. Edward Hutton, wife of the New York stockbroker, her home on upper Fifth Ave. comprising several immense floors of one of Manhattan's most luxurious apartment edifices, was cathedral-like in its proportions.

A Palm Beach estate and a palatial racht are but other perquisites of this American fortune. And now she chooses to live in Moscow tr watch an experiment where such wealth has been re-distributed, and where it is no longer possible to acquire nor to hold such fortune. Phone Thief Suspect Held on Dope Charge Willard Jones, 33, no home, will be arraigned in the Bay Ridge Court today charged with "stuffing" a telephone coin box and the possession of narcotics.

Crashes Into Porch; Driver Is Arrested Babylon, Dec. 2-Charles Kloock, 38. of 976 1st Manhattan, was arested here today on a charge of driving an automobile while intoxicated. Kloock's automobile left the highway and crashed into the front porch of the home of Mrs.

Simpson, said: "We know nothing of any alleged White House expression of views. In fact. we know nothing whatsoever about Mrs. Simpson." An unconfirmed rumor said the Cabinet had decided to resign Saturday unless the monarch acceded to a demand to give up his friendship with the American by that time. In Fleet Street the rumor was described as coming from high quarters.

England's stock market dropped sluggishly today, reflecting, brokers said, the growing concern lest the King's romance result in resignation of the Cabinet or even the abdication of the King. The differences between King and Cabinet over the "Simpson affair" made the pages of a London daily newspaper for the first time today. The Evening Standard devoted a page comments of the provincial on the Bishop of Bradford's speech yesterday. Informed sources in Whitehall would not deny that the Cabinet intended to resign, contending themselves with the statement: "There to do now but await developments." Another rumor, likewise unconfirmed, said the King's Proctor, British supervisor in divorce matters, had confided to the government Mrs. Simpson's decree nisi would not final.

Breakdown Rumored Still another story related that Mrs. Simpson had been confined to her bed for two days by nervous breakdown. This, it was learned. was scarcely true, since she dined with a small party of friends at a secluded retreat near London last night, and made arrangements for a similar party tonight. The Week, privately circulated journal, carried a report that King had replied tartly, to an "ultimatum" from the Archbishop of Canterbury and a "threat" from Prime Minister Baldwin when the heads of the Church and Cabinet "raised the riot act over Mrs.

Simpson." Baldwin. said the magazine, has "put it about" that he could' prevent any one else from forming a government, and. it was suggested, "force" the abdication of the king. The Week outlined what it called the "thundery atmosphere around throne which broke into a storm yesterday." It added: "The Archbishop of Canterbury threatened to refuse the King 'communion of the church' if the King announced his intention to marry his friend. Mrs.

Simpson. (All of oLndon is quoting the King's classic to the Archbishop: 'Please remembr, I am the head of your organizat on')." Sound out Parliament Those persons who were sponsorreport that the Cabinet had threatened to resign said the Government already had thoroughly sounded out the opposition in Parliament and had gained a promise to co-operate in any crisis which might arise. The implication was that if the present Cabinet should quit. other parties would refuse to assist the King in forming another government. Should that be true, even the King's staunchest admirers would be forced to admit the cards were stacked against him.

Lord Derby Retires Lord Derby, one of the most loyal friends of Edward's late father, apparently his weight on the side of the Cabinet in a speech anpoliticing his retirement from active Counseling loyalty to the government, he said: "If you throw out this government now you would have a government which would bring this empire to dust in 12 months." Copyright. 1936, by United Press London, Dec. 2 -Great Britain was plunged into one of the gravest constitutional crises its history today over the friendship of King Edward for Mrs. Wallis Simpson.

It was learned absolutely trustworthy authority that the result may be the King's abdication or the resignation of the Cabinet. The Cabinet has "notified" the King, or in technical phrase "advised His Majesty," not to marry Mrs. Simpson. The King thus far has refused to accept the Cabinet's present the situation is deadlockedAt The Cabinet Met Today Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin has threatened, unless the King promises to accept the Cabinet's to rush through Parliament a bill making it compulsory for any sovereign to obtain the approval of the Privy Council for his marriage. Associated Press said that Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and his ministers at their session today King Turns Down Coronation Garb London, Dec.

2 (U.P)-King Edward emphatically rejected today the new dress uniforms which the army has designed for his coronation and which were proudly displayed to him in a miniature fashion parade at Buckingham Palace. An officer and three privates strutted before the King in the new uniforms, but His Majesty was in no mood to be pleased. He said he didn't like their color, their facings or their buttons or much else about them and refused his approval. The soldiers slunk away abashed.

On his arrival in London he motored direct to the King's country home, Fort Belvedere, and had a long talk with him regarding the state of public opinion in Great Britain and the empire as to the King's friendship with Mrs.

Simpson and his intentions. Beaverbrook is a Privy Councillor and is widely regarded as most familiar with empire opinion. Mrs. Simpson in Seclusion hers. Simpson in was Cumberland in seclusion Terrace.

at A spokesman for her said that she would not speak on the telephone to anyone, would not see anyone. It suggested that Mrs. Simpson might clarify her position if she made a statement. "It's past praying for now," said the sp spokesman-meaning apparently the whole situation. Church and State united to bring upon the young King a pressure that was becoming terrific.

A reminder to the King of his duties, his position as the symbol of unity of a kingdom and an empire, by the Bishop of Bradford yesterday became today the subject of a most astonishing campaign of editorial pressure in provincial newspapers. It was expected that within the next two or three days, if not later today, the London papers would join. The editorials talked of the King's duties, of the great example set by his late father, of his position as head of the Church of England. The people are being told nothing of the friendship of their King for Mrs. Simpson.

They are being told in ponderous, cryptic phrases in editorials, that the King is failing "his people" by neglecting to live up to his position as their spiritual father. as head of the Church of England. Reproved by Bishop King Edward had just motored in from Fort Belevdere yesterday to get to work at Buckingham Palace, and other members of his house party had left separately--Mrs. Simpson with her chaperon aunt--when the Bishop of Bradford, at a diocesan meeting at Bradford yesterday, brought the crisis into the open. Using as his lever a suggestion that heads of the evangelical churches be invited to participate in the coronation, the Bishop spoke of the Divine Grace which the King would need for his coronation.

He expressed doubt that the King was aware of this need. Rare Serum to Aid Stricken Girl Arrives; Fear It's Too Late Little Rock, Dec. 2 (U.P.)-A package of rare serum, needed save the life of Miss Jaypee Easley, suffering from streptococci veridans infection, arrived here by plane today from Montreal. Physicians prepared to administer the serum at once, but they feared it was too late. The girl has fought a losing battle with death since the last available supply of the serum was exhausted two weeks ago.

Today's supply came overseas to Montreal from Paris. It was rushed here by plane delay in shipment had caused fear that it was lost. The supply was sent after the girls mother, Mrs. J. P.

There was organ music, singing and an invocation and a benediction by Dr. Samuel J. Levinson, rabbi of Temple Beth Emeth.

The speakers, appropriately for the occasion, paid compliments to this newspaper and spoke of the ideals and purposes of Judaism and the Jews. Those who sat in the temple pews, lodge members and their friends, listened, applauded. But 18 the ceremonies continued the event took on the color, the flavor, the implication of larger principles racy was dead and dictatortyrannies the new thing, of the superiority of friendship among the races to mutual hate. It was natural for Postmaster Goldman to say, on this occasion: "This great newspaper for 95 years has performed the function for which we, as American citizens, look to our newspapers. We regard liberty of the press as one of the cornerstones of our national existence, and this liberty is indeed true of the great publication which is being honored tonight." Liberalism Is the Theme It was natural of Mr.

Rodgers, in reply, to refer to "the compelling tradition of liberalism" of The Eagle and of America. And he added that, despite the hatreds the war -mad fevers of Europe the Orient, the liberal way of life. the democratic way of life. was 1n actuality stronger than it had ever been, having proved itself in the test of fire. Other speakers pursued the same theme.

Dr. Levinson referred, in the invocation, to "oases of hope. oases of peace," which those who heard him could not but contrast with the warlike deserts in the dictator-countries abroad. "There is room for bigots in this great nation ours," challenged Mr. Perskin, and it seemed, in a very real way, that there was not.

Then she must leave the children in the care of her husband, an unemployed milliner who sells a few neckties now and then to help make both ends meet.

She wouldn't trust the children with anyone else and since her family lives too far away to help she thinks she might have to go to the movies herself and let her husband mind the children and let that serve.

Depends on Public The constitutional question is most thorny one, because of the probable difficulty of forming another Cabinet in the event that Baldwin resigned.

It was learned that an editorial in today's Times, referring to the possibility that children of the Duke of York, the King's brother and heir presumptive, might reign was written with deliberate purpose. Present indications are that the method of solution of the crisis will depend largely upon the state of public opinion. Conservative provincial newspapers, aiming to bring the matter into the open, deliberately broke away today from the self-imposed censorship on which London newspapers had agreed among themselves. Their editorials did not mention Mrs. Simpson or the King's friendship for her.

They merely warned the King that he is a sovereign, born to rule, and that it is necessary for him to set an example of the highest sort of self-sacrifice and service to his country. But there were signs that whole matter might break into the open in the newspapers soon. So serious was the situation today that publication of the program for the King's forthcoming tour of distressed areas in South Staffordshire was postponed. It was hinted that it might even be announced that the King was indisposed or something of the sort AS an excuse for abandonment of the tour. Rebuffed by Archbishop INSURANCE RATES UP London, Dec.

The new rate against any postponement is 26 1-4 pounds sterling ($129) per 100 pounds ($490.88) of insurance, against the former rate of 21 pounds. Lloyd's also stepped up its rate for insurance against postponement of the tion beyond the end of 1937 from 15 3-4 pounds ($77) per hundred pounds to pounds It was said on reliable authority that the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose opposition as head of the Church, under the King, to the friendship has been known for weeks. ignored a recent command of the King to visit him at Buckingham Palace. The same informant said that the printing of the Church of England coronation service is being held up because the Archbishop has withheld his approval on it.
