’ ESTABLISHED 1873 \ Li UNLESS HE LEAVES WALLIE, RUMOR SAYS Duke of York May Become King of Scotland, London Pa- per Hints LONDON STOCK PRICES EBB Bishop's Criticism of Ruler’s Private Life Touches Off _ Comment London, Dec. 2.—(7)—Prime Mints- ter Stanley Baldwin called upon King: Edward at Buckingham palace Wed-' nesday night for what was reported to be a showdown in the constitu- tional crisis caused by the monarch’s friendship for Mrs. Wallis Simpson. The premier was believed to have informed the bachelor king that the cabinet, with the backing of parlia- ment, is prepared to resign unless Edward surrenders any plan he may have to wed the American-born di- vorcee. England's stock market dropped sluggishly Wednesday, reflecting, brokers said, the growing concern lest, the king’s romance with Mrs. Simp- son result in’ resignation of the cabi- net or even the abdication of the king. Cabinet May Resign A wholly unconfirmed rumor, one of many hundreds about the King-|°~ Simpson affair, had it the cabinet had decided to resign on Saturday unless the monarch accedes to a de- mand to give up his friendship with the American by that time. In Fleet street the rumor was de- scribed as coming from “high quar- ters.” Cabinet members presé¢rved & stony silence. Worried British ministers met, the Times hinted at possible -breakup of the realm with the Duke and Duchess of York as king and queen of-Scot- land, and the question of “constitu- tional crisis” was sounded—openly and gloomtly—by the Yorkshire-Eve- ning Post. Paper Issues Warning This latter newspaper, one of the directors of which is the father-in- | law of Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, warned: “National concern will be deepened by the implication in some responsible comment that the constitutional issue may arise—the issue of the readiness of the king to be guided by his min- isters in regard to any step wherein the welfare of the throne and the commonwealth may be involved.” The stock exchange, England's tra- ditional barometer, was rife with dis- cussion of the Bishop of Bradford's speech Tuesday in which he expressed concern over the king’s awareness of his need for “God's grace.” King Edward, meanwhile, outwardly unruffled over the unprecedented in- vasion of his private affairs, inspected the new blue “walking out” uniform designed for England’s soldiers to wear at his coronation. Informed sources in Whitehall would not deny that the cabinet in- tended to resign, contenting them- selves with the statement: “There 15 nothing to do now but await develop- ments.” Another rumor, likewise uncon- THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1936 German Specialist Studies Talking Boy’s.

Laments Passiveness He lamented the “tolerance and passiveness” of other nations toward the civil war in Spain and declared their attitude was a source of “great danger.’ Socialist officers in Madrid de- clared the insurgents’ “striking power” appeared weakened, possibly broken, after the most bitterly fought battle in the nearly month-long siege of; the capital. Insurgent air raiders, however, again visited the heart of the be- leaguered city, dropping at least 20 bombs into the central section near the Puerta del Sol. Fascist Line Advances Delayed reports from the Fascists moreover, declared the front line had advanced 500 yards from Casa del ‘Campo park toward Madrid proper. Great Britain sought to prevent for- eign volunteers from fighting on either side in the Spanish civil war. Tension, meanwhile, was eased by Hoarders Hitler Imposes Drastic Econ- omic Order to Govern Rehabilitation Berlin, Dec. 2—(7)}—The “brass Knuckle” policy of Gen.

Sen. Elmer Thomas’ “icicle radishes and frozen spuds” in the Matanuska val- ley, termed as a joke Wednesday the four “sentiment” votes cast in agree- ment with his idea that the colony is a failure. Senator Thomas (Dem.-Okla.), vis- ited the colony last summer, voiced disapproval of the project, said the colonists were dissatisfied and that vegetables grown in the valley were half frozen. | Colonists from all parts of the valley met in Palmer Community hall Tuesday and voted 135 to 4 approva! of the colony. Joe Flakne, agricultural agent for the colony, said he “knew all four men who voted against the coiony and there is little doubt but that they voted such as a joke.” Flakne and several other colonists asserted the four were “all good farm- ers and have made a success of their’ operations.” The first beef from Matanuska went on sale this week at Fairbanks.

The official count was 147,330 in favor of the measure and 128,064 against. Members of the board determined that question first in their efforts to complete the work before the effective date, and Assistant Attorney General T. A. Thompson declared the measure, legalizing the sale of hard liquor in the state, becomes effective Thurs- day. Whether tax stamps would be sold by State Treasurer John Gray Thurs- day remained uncertain. Some stamps, ordered from a printer by him, have been received, but Gray said he would decide later in the day whether they may be sold. ‘There was some question whether state and federal permits could be ob- tained by dealers in sufficient time to} begin the legal sale of liquor Thurs- day. * Canyassing board members contin-| ued the work of checking official ! by counties, but no: quor Law Faces New Court Figh King Edward’s Romance Threatens to Disrupt Empire)! 10 i CABNET 10 RESIGNDeath Decreed for PRESDENT LEAVES SCOUTS JOIN MOVE FOR OUTPOURING OF GOOD WILL IN CITY Check Lists Being Distributed by Young Workers to Every Bismarck Home Requests for the cooperation of all citizens in the annual Open Your Heart campaign will be in the hands of every Bismarck householder by nightfall.

Effort, However, Probably Will | Not Prevent Initial Sales Thursday STATE TAX STAMPS READY | Court Order Contains No Mens tion That Immediate Action Will Be Restrained the initiated lquor law, launched Wednesday afternoon in the supreme court, will not prevent the act from becoming effective prior to a ruling by the court, it appeared Wednesday. The suit, brought in the suprems court by Francis Murphy of Fargo ‘as attorney for Prof. James E. Com of Grand Forks, state dry leader, asks that State Treasurer John Gray be restrained from selling, issuing or giv- ing away state liquor tax stamps, with- out which hard drinks cannot legally be sold in the state. In a similar suit recently in Bure leight County district court Gray was enjoined from pledging the states credit to purchase the stamps but he obtained them anyway without pledg- ing such credit. Although Gray was ordered to show cause on Dec. 9 why the court should not assume original jurisdiction in the case and why a restraining order should not be issued, no temporary restrain- ing order was made effective. As a result, Gray presumably can go ahead and sell stamps on the same basis as though no suit had been filed. Gray held a conference with Aasist- ant Attorney General T. A, Thompson ‘Wednesday afternoon but neither he nor Thompson could be reached to learn what course it was decided to pursue. Murphy not only challenged the duly printed in the pamphlet but claimed it was sent to less than ball the voters in the state.
