That is the rela-+ dence of King Prajadhipok to arrest the King and bring him back to Bang- kok, the capital ‘The movement, which is likely to en- danger the dynasty, was organized by officers and students who want the King to abandon absolutism and give the country a democratic constitution. According to reports from Bangkok, the population, which is in favor of the movement, has no particular grievance against the young King and merely wants him to surrender into the hands of the people his medieval prerogatives. Siam is the only civilized country where the monarch is the supreme pow- er of the land. He appoints ministers of state and all high dignitaries, who hold office at his pleasure. All the cabinet officers and the high dignitaries are at present “Royal High- nesses,” that is to say, members of the royal family. The Supreme Advisory Council, established by the King at the beginning of his reign in 1925, is also composed only of members of the royal family. The whole country is run as a family affair. Lately, the word depression has hit Siam, too. The price of rice, in the production of which 83 per cent of the population of the country is engaged, has slumped considerably and no relief lw“ in sight. The government, run by the royal family, with a liberal-minded, but young and inexperienced king at the head, was doing little to alleviate the depression. In spite of this situation, no serious movement of discontent was noticeable on the surface. Everybody in Bangkok, including the foreign representatives and the royal family were consequently greatly surprised when yesterday a group of army and navy officers backed by the troops in garrison in Bangkok, quietly arrested the king's officlals and issued manifesto threatening to punish with death anybody opposing their movements.

NEW YORK, June 24 (#)—Reports of revolution in Siam today brought from Prince Subba Svasti the declara- tion that “there must be some mistake.” The prince, brother to Siam's Queen, is in America to study police methods. For the past few days he has been the guest of the New York Police Depart- ment. “That can't be.” he said when he was shown a dispatch reporting the revolu- tion. “Our people in Siam are very peaceful and much contented. When I left, a year and a half ago, all was peaceful and I don’t believe a revolu- tion would start, for there is no cause to start ane.
