One Tongue for All Though more than 500,000,000 people today acknowledge English as their natural language, there are still no fewer than 1,500 dif- ferent languages written and spoken in the world. With wire- less, the movies, and airplane welding civilization together, it is vital for world peace and goodwill that all nations should have a com- mon international language of communication. This, in brief, is the contention of the Orthological Institute, pio- neers of Basic English. Only 850 words are used, but these do the work of 20,000, The list can be mastered by a foreign student in 30 hours, while in 50 hours’ study he may grasp the meaning of a No need to suffer agony of muscu- lar aches and pains!

BLACK-DRAUGHT A GOOD LAXATIVE IN REVIEW ~ YY UU Edward May Abdicate to Marry Mrs. Simpson N ERE scandal and gossip have no proper place in this de- partment, but the ‘‘affaire Simp- son,” as the French would term it, has progressed until it assumes world importance. As ar- rangements are be- ing made for the quiet and uncontest- ed divorce of Mrs. “Wally” Simpson, American friend of King Edward VIII of England, it is ru- ! maored in London so- y ciety circles that the King Edward bachelor monarch will abdicate in favor of his brother, the Duke of York, and marry the attractive woman who has shared s0 much of his time in recent months. In support of this rumor is the reported fact that plans are being made for renting the farms of the Sandringham estate in Nor- folk, which is the king's private property. Also, there is a story that this estate may be sold to the Aga Khan, the immensely wealthy spiritual head of the Ismaili sect of Mohammedanism. Should Edward give up the throne, it would eventually be occupied by Princess Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the Duke of York, and this suc- cession would be decidedly popular with the people of England. The abdicating king might revert to the dukedom of Cornwall, which pro- vides a net income of about $350,000. There is nothing in British law to prevent the king from marrying whomsoever he pleases, but no ruler of the country since Henry VIII has wedded a commoner. Court gossip in London’ says that Prime Minister Baldwin and the archbishop of Can- terbury recently appealed to Ed- ward for greater discretion in his relations with Mrs. Simpson and | were hotly rebuffed by the king. English newspapers imposed on themselves a voluntary censorship in this affair, but it has been broken by the Sunday Referee which prints an article declaring the king “may marry by spring,” that this would result in postponement of the coro- nation, and that tradesmen have been insuring themselves against | such a delay. Japan “Not Fortifying” Isles Under Mandate OR some time there have ap- peared in print stories about how Japan was establishing air and submarine bases in the former Ger- man islands of the South Pacific over which she holds a League of Nations mandate. It has been ex- pected that the league's mandate commission would investigate these reports, and now Japan seeks to forestall such action by a formal report to the league in which she asserts she has ‘'no fortifications, military or naval bases" in those islands. The Tokio government says it is scrupulously observing that part of the mandate which forbids the use of the islands for military purposes. Following establishment of a south seas bureau in April, 1932, all Japanese armed forces and men of war have been withdrawn gradually from the islands, the report says, adding that the natives of the is- lands never have been subjected to military training.

Monarchists of Austria, who would like to make Archduke Otto em- peror, were encouraged by a speech delivered by Chancellor Kurt Schus- chrigg in which, defying the little entente, he shouted: ‘“Ne outsider, but only Austrians will decide whether the monarchy shall be restored!" The day of a plebiscite to decide on the question of restoration of the Hapsburg claimant to the throne is ‘not yet in sight,” the chancellor said. But, with Princess Adelheid, sister of Archduke Otto, listening, he declared that monarchist propa- ganda has a "proper place in Aus- trian life. “New Gold Standard” Tried by Uncle Sam ¢4TT IS a new gold standard, a way of doing business which has never been tried before,” was Secretary Morgenthau's character- ization of the agree- ment just entered into by the United States, Great Brit- ain and France, whereby, subject to 24 - hours’ cancella- tion, they will ex- change gold for each other's currencies, Financiers, econo- mists and business men were taken by “ surprise by the Secretary move and immedi- Morgenthau ately gave it close study. Some were disposed to label the maneuver *‘po- litical expediency,” but experts gen- erally said it was a logical step in the sequence of monetary events but not positively in the direction of stabilization. The new plan, Mr. Morgenthau said, differs from the old gold stand- ard in that it will permit the export or earmarking of gold only to and between governments instead of private business institutions and traders “The door is wide open.” said au. “We're not going welcome all other countries which want to participate.” According to the Treasury depart- ment, the United States alone will announce a selling price for gold. France and England will keep their lling prices secret, though there ye a free flow of gold between tabilization funds of the three t was believed that Great Britain was the prime mover in this new pact. As one commentator put it: “The sary when France debased her cur- rency and placed an embargo on gold exports, because Great Britain suddenly discovered that nowhere in the world was there left a fixed yardstick against which to measure international commitments and han- dle international exchange.” No More Army Chaplains, Say Disciples of Christ THE Disciples of Christ, in an- nual international convention in Kansas City, voted to send no more of the church's ministers to serve as chaplains in the United States army. The resolution adopt- ed also asked the Federal Council of Churches ‘‘to sever its connec- tion with the war system by dis- solving its chaplaincy commission’ and "to provide a non-military min- istry of religion to men armed services at the church's own expense and under their own author- ity without involving the Church of Christ in any alliance whatsoever with the state or the military sys- tem.” Nineteen Die When Ship Sinks in Lake Erie JCIGHTEEN men and one woman perished in the waters of Lake Erie when the Canadian ship Sand Merchant foundered off Cleveland during a gale. Seven men, includ- ing the captain, were picked up after clinging to life boats for eleven hours. The woman who was lost was the wife of the first mate, who also drowned. Northern Italy was shaken by earthquake shocks that were felt as far away as Jugoslavia and Aus- tria.

The maritime commission had peremptorily demanded that the Pacific coast ports be kept open Francisco to discuss the conditions which have long threatened to bring on industrial warfare. In telegrams to President Frank- lin Roosevelt and the commission, the committee said the commission had caused ‘‘great unrest” among the workers through its participa- ticn in negotiations between ship- owners and dock and shipboard em- ployees The seven unions, membership of nearly 37,000 work- ers, are the International Long- shoremen’s association, the Ameri- can Radio Telegraphists’ associa- tion, the Marine Engineers’ Benefi- cial association, the Masters, Mates and Pilots of America, the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific, Marine Cooks and Stewards, and the Marine Fire- men, Oilers, Watertenders and Wip- ers’ association claiming a Russia Using Spanish War to Foment Discord « OVIET RUSSIA made a nd “determined effort to aid the be- leaguered of Spain, and sustained a second rebuff.

It was understood in London that Lord Plymouth replied that if the propo- sition were seriously made, it should be presented through diplomatic channels to the governments con- cerned.
