"Not until the Old Gang has objective is the overthrow of the present power. No War Against Crown ijf Fascists will reach power through the parliamentary system or, through a situation far beyond the control of parliament will depend upon the rapidity with which the situation degenerates and the willingness of the British people to accept new forms.

"In no case will we resort to violence against the crown. We will fight only the forces of anarchy if and when the machinery of the State has been allowed to break down into powerlessness." Sir Oswald advocates a "corporate State" similar to the system introduced in Italy. He would have the operations of vested interests and individuals controlled by the government.

'New Harness' fur India The attitude has been explained as one of "holding India still until the new harness is ready." Last year there was an air of conciliation, with pleas from Britain's side for cooperation. Sir Samuel Hoare, Secretary of State for India, said recently: as long as we are responsible, we are determined to govern." Good Chances for Action Much of this stiffening of attitude is undoubtedly due to the change in government with the Conservative majority in the House of Commons in absolute control.

But, as a matter of fact, the chances of, immediate action are much brighter than last yearw The situation is like this: The round tablers meet in mid-November. By Christmas, or the first of the year, their constitutional plan Is to be ready.

5 Responsibility for feeding Soviet Russia's masses rests on 37-year-old Anastasy Ivano-vitch Mikoyan, Georgian by birth, who is one of the country's youngest leaders. As the People's Commissar for Supply, his Job Is to co-ordinate the production, manufacture and distribution of foodstuffs so as to insure an adequate supply for every table. With the food question at its usual critical stage, and with added difficulties this year in harvest "collections" from the peasantry, his post is trying and unenviable. Has Revolutionary Background This swarthy southerner, whose sharp features are set off by a high forehead, piercing black eyes and bushy mustache, has a revolutionary background typical of the men at the head of the government. Born of a worker's family in the Tim? province In 1895, Mikoyan sultered from the hardships with which, that cla.ss was afflicted, and he Joined the Illegal Bolshevik i party In 1915.

From secretary of the Tiflis com-' mlttee of the party, he became a member of the Baku presidium and remained head of the clandestine Bolshevik organization there when the Soviets were overthrown by the "whites." until the restoration of the Bolshevik power. rSraped Firing Squad In 1898 he was arrested along with members of the Baku Soviet government, whom history records as the "26 Baku commissars." But he managed to escape their fate before a "white" firing squad. Remaining In prison almost a year he orgumzed a strike in Baku Immediately on his release, was rearrested and escaped. His first government post came In 1926 when he was appointed People's Commissar for Trade, which at that time embraced the functions of both food supply and foreign trade. In 1930 this commissariat was divided Into two organizations and he was made the head of the supply department.

In addition to this post, he Is a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union, chief administrative arm of the government. Also he is on the Central Committee of the Communist party.

Middlesex. Oct. 26 Lieut. Hugh Baker, 27, of the Royal Marines, drove up to the entrance of the Mount Vernon cancer Hos-pital here in a motor car a few nights ago, and. knocking at tne front door, announced himself as a patient about to enter the hospital.

He asked the servant who answered his irnock where he should park his car. He was told to leave it at spot near the entrance, and that it would be garaged later. Found Dead lit Car The servant reported to the staff that a patient was about to enter, and when the man did not return a search was made for him, and he was found dead in his car, a bullet wound in his head. The mystery shrouding the incident was cleared away at the inquest when it developed that Lieut. Baker had been ordered to the hospital for-an operation.

Coroner Kemp put in evidence a letter found In the pocket of the dead man. It w.js addressed to Dr. Fitzwilliams, a specialist at the hospital, and read: "I would like to thank you all for the trouHs you have taken over me I am going to perform a surgi cal operation on myself which will be a complete and lasting cure for my disease. If I do not do It now I think it would be necessarwin a few months'tlme. I shall be glad if you will inform my commanding officer at Chatham that I have had cancer since 1931.

It will be easier at the hospital to dispose of my remains." Had Carried on Bravely. Mr. Kemp, recording a verdict of i suicide while of unsound mind, said: i "He carried on bravely and pluckily without any complaint. What his state of mind mult have been when he drove to Ihe hospital one cannot I imagine. He had suffered mentally and bodily, and perhaps the recent death of his father added to his 1 dl'tress." Lieut.

Baker's father, Valentine Baker, who lived for many years in Parkstone Parkstone, died a short time before, and the lieutenant attended the funeral. Liaut. Baker's father was understood to be a nephew of Gen. Valentine Baker (known as Baker Pasha), who served with the Egyptian army, and was killed at the battle of Tcl-el-Kebir in 1887. Old Superstitution Locates the Body Of Drowned Girl Broad Loaf, Loaded Willi Quicksilver, Comes to a Rest Where Corpse Lay Special Correspondence of The Eagle Bcdworth, Warwickshire, Oct.

27 Ethel Wright, 15, disappeared from her home here a few days ago. When last seen she was on a path leading to the canal at Coventry, and later her purse was found on the bank of the canal. The water was dragged in the hope of finding ths body, but without success. There is an ancient superstition in this section that if a loaf of bread loaded with quicksilver is placed in a river or canal It will come to a stop over the place where the body of a drowned person lies. Girl's I'ncle Tests Superstition Alfred Orton, the girl's uncle, decided to resort to that test, and put a quantity of quicksilver into a loaf of bread, which he threw into the canal.

The majority of the present generation had never heard of the old superstition and when they learned what Orton had done were skeptical of the success of the ef- fort thus to locate the body. Next morning, however, Oiton, i accompanied by several police of- licers, went to the canal and organ a search for the loaf. It was found rpttlnT nn the water a few vards from a bridge over the stream. Grappling irons were thrown Into the water and In a few minutes the body was located and brought ashore. After many years an old country superstition had its justification.
