Under a front page headline “King May Marry by Spring,” the newspaper asserted rates had been set at 26 pounds, 5 shillings for 100 pounds of insurance—or £131.25 for $500 insurance against postponement of the coronation ceremony. Earlier policies were placed at the rate of 4 guineas per cent—or $21 for $500 worth of insurance—gradually mounting to 15 guineas ($78.75) in August.

They are also among the signatorics of the Locarno pact, devised to keep peace in Europe. Others in the agree- ment are Germany. Italy and Great Britain, but the pact vir- tually became a dead letter last March when Germany rearmed de- militarized Rhineland.
