PAPERASKS I RENDUNCE FINCE Compares Bravery in War to That Exacted by Brit- ish Situation. BY the Assoctated Press. LONDON, December 7.—The con- servative London Post, in a two- column editorial, called on King Ed- ward to renounce any intention of wmarrying Mrs. Wallis Simpson. The Post pointed out this could be the only choice for the monarch, and compared the bravery it said he should show with that of his subjects in the World War. “It (the decision) may be hard, but {s it not simple?” the paper asked. Papers Plead for Time. The Post joined with the Daily Mirror, News-Chronicle and Express in pleading for time so nothing re- grettable would be done by either King or cabinet. Under the heading “45,000,000 De- mand to Know——" the Daily Mir- ror devoted its whole front page to listing these five questions: “1. What, justly stated and in detail, #s the King's request to the cabinet? “2. What steps were taken to ascer- tain the views of the people of the Dominions and to explain to them the issue involved in this great crisis? “3. Is the British cabinet prepared | to approach the governments of the | Dominions with a frank request that | that they should reconsider their ver- | dict against the King and consent to marriage even if it involved new leg- islation? Blow at Monarchy. “4. Is the British cabinet sure, beyond doubt, that abdication of King Edward VIII would not strike a ter- rible blow at the greatest institution in the world—our monarchy—and thereby cause irreparable harm? “5. Would the abdication of our King mean he would be exiled not only from Great Britain, but also from every other country in his em- pire?” Then, in a heavy, black fnishing headline, the paper said: “——And then they (the people) will judge!” Simpson (Continued From First Page.) seclusion. The road to the villa was closed a quarter mile from the en- trance to all save the residents and others with important business. A Scotland Yard detective and a local gendarme barred the way to the curious. The servants were virtual prisoners, obliged to remain at thel‘ estate. | The former Baltimore belle, whose | romance shook a throne, will spend | most of today and tomorrow in bed. Rogers said, recovering from the ef- fects of her arduous automobile Journey. At Monte Carlo the captain and crew of the yacht Sister .Anne held the craft in readiness for Mrs. Simp- son should she suddenly decide to seek farther haven. Some reports said King Edward, should he abdicate, would fly to meet her aboard the vessel. Mrs. Simpson occupied a master bed room overlooking the lighthouses :g the crags that form Cannes Har- r. Occasionally, clad in a light blue | silk wrap, Mrs. Simpson appeared at the window over the orange terraces that lie between the villa and the sea. Once she noticed a small group of Joungers near the guarded gateway to the estate. Quickly she drew back, pulling tight the draped curtains. All members of the household re- tired early last night, the last lights of the villa winking out at 10 o’'clock. In the gardens behind the archway burned a single bright light, illumi- nating the grounds. The shrubbery cast long eerie shadows while the gendarmes paced away the hours in the crisp night air. | Lord Brownlow, private secretary | to King Edward, accompanied the | American divorcee on her trip to| Cannes from London, it was disclosed | TUESDAY N 7T TILL 8 ON AU These Stema INCLUDED!

Court (Continued From First Page.) action of the Court of Appeals, dix-‘ agreed flatly with one, which stated| that the power to stay suits is con-| fined to cases where the issues and parties are the same, and decided both of them were too confusing to be | followed by the District Court. Rules Are Laid Down. In enunciating its own rule, defln-‘ ing the circumstances under which a stay should be granted, the court| sald: | “l. We find ourselves unable to assent to the suggestion that before proceedings in one suit may be stayed to abide the proceedings in another, the parties to the two causes must be shown to be the same and the issues identical. * * * | “2. The power to stay proceedings | { is incidental to the power inherent in every court to control the disposition of the causes on its docket. * * * Only in rare circumstances will a litigant 1n one cause be compelled to | stand aside while a litigant in an- other settles the rule of iaw that will define the rights of both. Consider- ations such as these, however, are counsels of moderation rather than | limitations upon power.” | The justices then stated that in cases of extraordinary public moment, the individual may be required lo‘ | submit to delay not immoderate in ex- tent and not oppressive in its conse- quences if the public welfare or con- venience will thereby be promoted. In these holding company cases, the | court added, “great issues are in-| volved.” Case Sent Back. The justices then expressed the be- lief that in any event the District Court should not grant the stay to continue in effect after the initial deci- sion in the Government's suit against the Bond & Share Co. In sending the case back to District Court, however, the justices pointed out that “in the suit against the Bond & Share Co. the facts have now been | '« ONLY 50c WEEK | measures were intended to prevent settled by stipulation; the briefs have ' been prepared; the case has been argued on the merits, and a decision may be expected within a reasonable time.” | In the telephone decision, & new | method of determining rates, by re- quiring companies to record the “orig- inal cost” of purchased properties, was | upheld by the court in a test case of | the Communications Commission’s| order directing a uniform accounting system. Justice Cardozo read the unanimous opinion that affirmed a ruling by a three-judge Federal District Court in New York denying an injunction against the order. The phone companies had con- tended that “numerous requirements” | of the order “are so contrary to the| fundamental principles of correct ac- | counting and so arbitrary and unrea- sonable as to amount to an abuse of | the commission’s power.” They asserted the new system, dis- placing one in which “prudent in- vestment” was the determining fac- tor, would set up a false rate base and they would suffer “serious finan- cial loss.” The “fair trade” act decisions, both delivered by Justice Sutherland, sustained rulings by the State Supreme Courts upholding the legislation.

Constitutionality of the Illinois law was attacked in two cases by the Old Dearborn Distributing Co. and Me- Neil's Liquor Store of Chicago. The former was enjoined by the State Court from selling “Seagram” and “Kessler” branded liquor products anywhere in the State at prices below those fixed by Seagram-Distillers Corp. The latter was enjoined, on petition of the Joseph: Trinier Corp. of Chi- cage from selling “Schenley products” at Ibss than the standard price. the Spreckles Sugar Refining Co. case, and said: * “The Supreme Court of the United States did not question the validity of a tax imposed upon the doing of business. It would seem to follow that a tax upon having individuals in employ would not be open to the question whether the Congress has ex- ceeded its powers in thus levying & tax.” Constitutional Taxes Mentioned. The court then cited many excise taxes which have been held consti- tutional, including a tax on the use of carriages for the conveyances of persons, a tax on the issuance of State bank notes and a tax on the selling of lottery tickets and liquor. “Holding as 1 do,” the court said, “that the tax imposed does not g0 beyond the authority of Congress to impose this tax as an excise, it fol- lows that there is no confiscation as urged by the petitioner, unless the tax exceeds the limitations imposed by the Constitution. “As to the question of uniformity the tax in question is laid on every business throughout the United States without regard to geographical loca- it tion or intrinsic value. There is no S question raised that the tax imposed Secul'lty does not cover all industries of & sim- ilar nature wherever situated.” R P it e. . __(Continued From First Page) Prison Cells Empty. the Supreme Court made & final de- New Zealand reports that it has cision. many vacant cells in its prisons, In deciding the case, the court cited which were crowded five years ago.
