He speaks loudly and bit- terly against “pulling Enwlamh‘ chestnuts out of the fire.” And if he should do again just as the King was setting foot on the Plaza at Union Station, adding a trifle about paying something on the war debts, Yankee diplomats would not be) made happier. Only recently Reynolds said in a | speech in New York: “I swear that I shall never cast a vote in that Congress to send the son of an American mother across| the turbulent waters of the Atlan- tic to save again an ungrateful peo- | ple for the so-called democracy of | Europe.” That sort of thing, while no end patriotic, is not considered by the diplomats as exactly the right thing to say while the King is lay- ing a wreath on the tomb of the| unknown soldier. They reassure | themselves Wltll the recollection | that after all Reynolds is a gentle- man of the South where hospitality is unmeasured.

We made this awesome discovery while hunting a pleasant spot to view the King over a bottle of pop | instead of jostling for four hours with the other 300,000 for a fooL\ng\ on the sidewalks.

The Washington Hotel demands a three-day booking | for $30 because it is on the corner where the parade swings off the avenue toward the White House so the customers get a double-jointed view. Such prices for a two-minute| glance at a British sovereign ap-| palled us so we went down to the junkier portion of Pennsylvania Ave- nue to see what there was to sell, A King from any other window should look as sweet. Once you leave the big hotel dis- | trict you find Pennsylvania Avenue full of history, hock shops and beer dens. One side of the street is grand and gorgeous with the marble and | | | | eral Triangle, but the other is a hodge-podge of rusty, white-washed ruins. If you have a drag with some of the Federal help with offices along the happier side of the avenue, that is nice—for you get a grand view for nothing. But those places are in demand, what with a hundred thousand job holders loose for the ig day.

In a telephone call from Se- attle to Juncau between Ale torney Edward Allen of the In- ternational Fisheries Commis~ sion, and H. L.

After picketing the tanker, it is understood from all reports that the seiners took over the plant itself and “ran the bosses off.” Craig has been one of the fes- tering trouble spots in the cur- rent pre-season trouble between siners and packers, the seiners demanding “twenty per cent rllmlnallon of fish crnps."
