KING TO CUT EXPENSES DESPITE ROYAL WEDDING British King’s Household to Undergo Reorganization _ to Save Sterling (United Preéss Staff Correspondent) 4.ondon, Dec. 24.—Just at a time when the royal family must stage one of the grandest weddings in years, requiring an outlay of no end of shill- ings, the word goes forth from King George's household that there is to be a complete reorganization of things—all for the sake of economy. The new Lord Chamberlain, the Duke of Atholl, the only peer in the British Isles permitted to maintain a private army, is believed to be part- ly responsible for the decision to thor- oughly modernize the royal establish- ment and put it on a sound business basis. It is not expected, of course, that this new drive for .regal retrench- ment will be permitted to dim the splendor of Princess Mary’s nuptials, but the Lord Chamberlain, it is said, {will not allow those nuptials to delay his plan for saving the sterling. In *.|this decision, he is understood to have the enthusiastic backing of the king, who believes that in these hard times the royal household should set an ex- ample for economy and -efficiency. The king already has foregone his, yacht racing and other pleasures that were deemed too costly. As one of the first steps toward re- duced expenditure a number of sine- cure jobs around the palace will either be eliminated or the salaries reduced. In bygone days, two of the great of- ficers ‘of state were the Lord Stewart and the Master of the Horse, but both of these lately have been found to be redundant and their holders no long- er perform any executive function, The same course, it is learned, has been taken in regard to the Vice- Chamberlain, the Royal Treasurer and the Controller of the " Household, which, in reality, are political ap- pointments given by the government in power to three whips in Parlia- ment, who perform no real duties at court, but receive their pay envelopes from the Royal Household. All these offices are under the Lord Chamberlain, who has'entire- control of the royal establishment, from the royal stables to the royal kitchen, and including the hiring and:firing of the royal employes.
