10 BRITISH KING'S SON TAKES CROWN POST Prince George Leaves Navy and Begins Foreign Office Work. BY WARRE B. WELLS. By Radio to The Star. LONDON, March 23—With King | George's approval for the appointment | of his third son, Prince George, to a post in the foreign office, an interesting new precedent has been added to a reign already 1’ h in precedents. The prince’s resignation from the navy wes impelled primarily by reasons of health, but the departure from the custom that only the navy and the army can provide careers for the royal princes may be re- garded as a significant pointer to the developmens of the official duties of the younger members of the royal family. ‘The naming of the first royal prince who has ever entered one of the peace departments of the state is known to have been the outcome of d!scussions segarding the future carcer of Prince George which have been proceeding be- tween the court circles and the govern- ment for some weeks. The appointment was generally approved by public opin- ion here, but at the same time one ques- tioning note was struck. The majority 3t the commentators welcome a breach with tradition which has hithertc con- fined the royal princes to war services, pointing out that peace service in a life of diplomacy provides training and equipment which may well prove of much greater value should Prince George some day become, say, Governor General of Canada. Course Is Questioned. On the other hand, the Liberal Man- chestsr Guardian raises the point that “it is sonceivable that the presence of a | member of the royal family within the foreign office might at some time be- come an embarrassment, both to the ministers and to the crown, and might involve the crown in just that sort of controversy, which all parties agree to | | | THE SUNDAY STAR.

In line, also, with this new con- ception is the challenge which it has just been disclosed by Dublin is thrown down by the Free State cabinet to the constitution of council of state named to carry on King George's duty during his {liness. The council, contrary to preedent, includes two ‘members—Pre- mier Baldwin and Lord Chancellor Lord Hailsham, of the present British Con- servstive administration. The Cosgrave cabinet maintained— and Sts viewpoint is understood to be now _accep! by the Baldwin ‘sgwern- ment—that the council exercising the King's functions should consist either ©of members of the royal family alone or alternatively include the official repre- sentatives of other parts of the British empire as well as Britain. It is re- garded in political circles here as ex- tremely probable that this incident di- rectly inspired the idea that the Prince of Wales should be named as regent— the appointment of which would com- pletely meet any similar case ‘which might arise, as well as relieving the King of delicate constitutional duties if the coming genera! election should lead to any kind of political deadlock. Crown’s Power Grows. With the attainment. by the self- governing dominions of & new status as co-equal nations with Great Britain, as SINCLAIR DIRECTOR 0il Company Executive, 70, Despite Age, Continued in Active Business. By the Assoclated Press. MINEOLA, N. Y., March 23.—Wil- liam H. Isom, a director and a member of the executive committee of the Sin-| clair Consolidated Oil Corporation, died | 1sst night in the Nassau Hospital. He | was in_his seventleth year, but, until he | was taken ill a few weeks go, had con- | tinued actively engaged in the business of the company. Mr. Isom in 1898 drilled the first pro- ducing oil well in Oklahoma and during the Alaskan gold rush at the end of the | last century, he became the active head | in Alaska of the North American Trans- | port & Trading Co., which was owned | by the Cudahy packing interests of Chi- cago. He entered the oil business in Toledo, | Ohio, in 1879, as a jobber and there| built the first oil refinery west of Cleve- land. John D. Rockefeller bought him out in 1887 and for several years Mr. Isom had charge of all the Standard Oil interests in the Northwest from Du- luth, Minn., to Seattle. In 1897 Isom became identified with Michael Cudahy, the Chicago packer, but when the Cudahy interests for time went out of the oil business, M Isom went to Alaska. He re-entered the oil business in 1808 laid down in the last imperial confer- ence, the importance of the crown in imperial things—in which it is now the sole link—has steadily grown. George’s appointment to the foreign of- fice, where he will be.groomed in the science_of government, follows the re- port from India that the King's second son, the Duke of York, may be named as the next Viceroy of India. When a dominion governor general was as much an agent of the British government of the day as a representative of the King, there were many good reasons why a politician in close touch with the Brit- ish governmental views should be ap- pointed. This does not apply now, when the governors general are in the strictest sense of the term viceroys, and the King's representative in all great over- seas dominions have been completely “regalized.” The Duke of Connaught, Prince Arthur of Connaught and Earl of Athlone are all members of the royal family who have proved successful and popular viceroys within recent years. As they get older it is fairly certain there will be requests for the King's | sons to represent him overseas, and Prince George's nomination to the for- | eign office may be regarded as pointing | to an extension of the practice of ap-/ inting junior members of the royal family to act for the King in the do- | minions.
