t: the coronation of King George VI
; r.d Queen Elizabeth of England, said
she believed the romance between the
D. ke cf Windsor, former King Ed

brated writer declared: "It is my
jpinior. that thr rraried life of the
I).ke and the Duchess will last two
years or less. They have shown a to
tr disregard for everyIv dy and ev
erything. except their attachment for
etch other. 1 heir romance in a small
v i’age in Austria will be a pretty
fiat substitute, however, for the man
who as King, had his adventures on
yachts was master of half a dozen
castles and had the homage, respect
and adulation of millions of persons.

ged t ay in London at $34.72 cents
an c once in an effort to stem the 9ow
ef yellow metal from Great Britain
» he United States, where the mint
pu-chasing price is $35 an ounce. The
m pnee of $34.72 an ounce in Lon
ion is an advance of 9 8-1® cents an
ante and cuts the profit that Bri
tish exporters stood to make, about
5 cents an ounce on shipments to the
United States as compared with
about 14 cents before.
It costs about 23 cents an ounce to
ship gold from England to New York
so shippers must buy at $34.77 ar,

ure soothed the nerves of London’s
g-'d bullion stock brokers by issuing
a statement declaring that “there is
no ndication of any unhealthy credit
developments. As a result of the gold
price situation" and that England has
no intention of departing from her

BUDGET BALANCING FOOLISH
SEATTLE — “Balancing- Seattle's]
budget is nonsense," Mayor John F.
Dore told the municipal council, which j
held a meeting to reorganize as the ■
result of the advent of two new mem
bers chosen at the recent city election
The mayor, in the course of his ad
dress to the council, said: *‘In an
swer to the loud cries fra- economy,
1 declare the city government has
spent too little instead of too much.
The federal government never intends
to pay .ts debts. It issues bonds and
renews them. We can wreck the city
by being penny wise and. pound fool- 1
ish. Balancing the budget means 1
taking* things from the city that it •
needs. Don't let the 'balance the bud- :
get' people stampede you."
The Mayor advocated a five-day
work week and a minimum wage of
£150 a month for municipal em
