Britain yesterday was start
.led, as much as the British can
be startled, by MacDonald's
proposal of a dictatorship. He
demands that the cabinet be al
lowed to govern "by the king's
orders in council," without
sanction of parliament. The
king's orders would be written
by MacDonald, with the ap
proval of his coaliation govern
ment, and three men, MacDon
ald at the head of the triumvi
rate, would rule England arbi
trarily. That would surprise British
labor particularly, and wilL not
please it. Fortunately, those
that hold the power will use it
worthily.

More cheerful news from
Germany. The reichsbank's
gold supply is now sufficient to
give "required courage" for
reiehsmark issues. The resump
tion of practically unrestricted
speculation on the Berlin
bourse today will show the
state of the public mind.
With the assistance of Amer
ican finance, Germany will
probably come through the win
ter much better than she hoped
to do.
American financiers that have con
sented to "freeze" short time credits
In Germany will learn with Interest
that Germany la now able to finance
for her Industries thirty-seven mil
Hon dollars worth of business in Rus
sia. That is the same Ru&sla that
refuse to pay our bankers their dues.
Regardless of financial and other
troubles, Germany continues to get
things done. Yesterday mall was de

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. (AP)
The new national soldiers' home to
be constructed at Roseburg, Ore., will
cost no more than 1.000.000. This U
the inference taken from the text of
the hospitalization board's recom

vealed today.
While the resolution cited authoriz
ation of a 92,000,000 Northwest sol
diers home made by congress in 1930,
the text of the resolution specifically
states that at Roseburg "such addi
tional construction not exceeding H,-
000,000 be undertaken as may D(
found necessary."
The resolution mentions that "cer

as to permit ready conversion into
domiciliary facilities," and it Is as

original appropriation for the Pacific
Northwest will be spent In this work

"Whereas, the federal board had

"Whereas, It has; been determined
that certain of the existing buildings

"Whereas, the city of Roseburg has
