Hoot Trade Alow BOSTON. Dee, 5 ( AP-U8DA) puslnesa was rather slow on domes tic wools In the Boston market the pat weer The Lady or the Lion? TES, it's probably the greatest newspaper story in all history, S For nothing quite like it has happened since newspapers were invented. It also is an excellent subject for the next intercollegiate debate, so much can be said on BOTH sides. , " We refer, of course, to the King Edward-Mrs. Simpson ro mance. What a story! What a colorful, thrilling drama of suspense, glumour and heart throbbing human-interest. How interesting it is to have a seat in-the bleachers, be a living witness to an epoch making, tradition shattering romance, that makes the best that Hollywood cad offer, seem tame. and hopelessly synthetic in comparison, a story that will be read about and talked about, as long as the human race endures. Aye verily, history is in the making these days, how the old world slipping into high, is moving on! VTES, so much can be said on both sides, and yet, this paper feels, as it has from the first, that after listening to all the pros and cons, the matter, in the final analysis, comes down to just this: . , Does or does not, Edward Windsor, wish . to beKing of England, and ruler of the far flung British Empire? If he does, then that's bis job, and he should accept the responsibilities and the sacrifices that job entails. . If he does NOT, then he should make his decision known, abandon the throne, and let someone else take over the duties and responsibilities, of his office. But he should not try to do- BOTH, not try to be a king in publio life, and a carefree commoner, in private life, which, as we see it, is what he is trying to do at the present moment. It can't he done. And as long as we have kings, and wish to seriously maintain the royal tradition, no one should expect it to be done. "DUT why" conies the cry from the opposition, "should not a king be entitled to the same happiness, that is the inalienable right of the humblest of his subjects, why should he not be able to marry the woman of his own choice and follow freely his heart's desire, whatever that might bet ' The obvious answer is, because he is KING. He is not presi dent of a republic, or premier of a parliamentary government, he does not owe his position to any political action, or eivil right; he owes it solely and exclusively to the "accident'' of birth, or if one prefers, the sanction of the Divine Power, j He is of ROYAL blood, and was the next in line; that is what made him king, and obviously, the forces that made him king, are forces which it is his obligation to maintain, not for himself alone but for his house and those who come after him ALL right. Where do we go from here) We go directly to the reason why Edward Windsor as king is not a free agent, to do as ho wishes, where tho wife, the mother of his children, the queen of the realm is concerned. True that would be tho right of his humblest subject, of any private citizen but King Edward ia neither, he is the king, and when ho assumed that office, lm first duty became not only the stability and welfare of his kingdom, but the main tenance of the royal tradition and NOT what he, as an individ ual, might desire or prefer. '.. IT may be assumed King Edward is genuinely in love with Mrs. Simpson. It may be a passing fancy of course, but we don't think so. After all the king is no longer young, and cer tainly knows his way around. Only a deep and very real pas sion, as we see it, can explain his willingness to not only risk his crown, but the stability of his empire, by his insistence that he wed this former Baltimore belle, and no one else. That is nil to his credit as an INDIVIDUAL, as a man. Everyone loves a lover, and King Edward was greatly beloved by his people, long before he became such a conspicuous one. But beinc; an individual is one thing, being a king is ;uitc another. Whereupon we return to where we started from, which is this, which does the king wish to be, an individual who can do as he likes, or a king, who CAN'T. That's the whole matter in a nutshell. And it seems to this paper, it's up to the king to decido and to decide quickly. For ho can't be both. IF he wants to be king, then he should play the game as a king and uphold the kingly tradition. If he doesn't want to be king, if the price is too high for him to pay, then he should abdicate, follow the dictates of his heart, and enjoy tho freedom, the personal rights and privileges, of a private citizen. Oh yes we know, common Mood is as good as royal blood (our own belief is it's usually better), aud to compel a kinfl or anyone else to marry some woniau ho doesn't love, and re nounce the woman he does, is wicked, outrageous yes and un democratic. All true no doubt from an American and romantio stand point, ."hit the kingly tradition is NOT American and it's not romantic, vid CERTAINLY it is NOT DEMOCRATIC. Nor is the tradition of a ruling royal house; which is permaueu! and carries on from one generation to another. If the people of England wish to abandon the royal tradition, it is their right and privilege to do bo. But until they do. be it a myth, a pretense, or the essential connecting link in a far flung empire the essential principles and responsibilities of that tradition should be maintained. THE truth as we see it is, neither the king's family, his min isters, the church, nor a majority of his subjects wish their king to be the third husband of an American divorcee or the THIRD husband of ANY woman. That may be bigoted, narrow minded, hypocritical or n-liat have you, but it is certainly true to both the letter and spirit of the royal idea and in harmony with long established British tradition, Edward Windsor as king should bow before it; accept the responsibilities and sacrifices involved in the position he holds in KINGLY fashion, or he should quit entirely and become a private citizen, where whom he marries or does not marry, is onlv his own concern.''

William Brady, 265 El Cam I no, Beverly HUH, Calif, OXYGEN INJECTION VERSUS BLOOD TRANSFUSION It Is questionable whether blood corpuscles transferred from one per son to snot her through transfusion of blood suivlve In the the blood of the recipient. The beneficial ef fect of transfu sion Is r a c n e r s 1 1 m u I at! on of the patient's own blood . bull ding powers and the restoration of volume or bulk to the circulat ing blood. Tueee are not the sole purposes of trans fusion. Sometimes the antitoxic or Immune value of the convalescent donor's blood may be required to help the recipient's battle. Some times the clot-forming ferment in normal blood may be needed to help control bleeding In hemophilia (the bleeder state) end allied maladies. But In such emergencies ss shock, exhaustion, hemorrhage the Immedi ate purpose of the Injection of heal thy blood into the veins of the pa tient is to stimulate the patient snd tide over the crisis. In such cases anoxia or anoxemia (lack: of oxygen In the tissues of the body or In the blood) Is the critical feature. The patient ts unable to oxygenate his own blood. In trans fusion, however, It Is the routine practice to draw the blood from the vein of the donor. This blood may carry some oxygen, but still the blood In the veins has given up most ol Ite mobile oxygen to the celU and tissues and must be oxygenatyl In the lungs of the recipient after It la injected Into the recipient's velna. If the patient Is unable to oxygen ate his own blood how can he oxy genate the venous blood of another person? In actual practice it is l'und that in cases of shock, collapse or hemorrhage blood transfusion Klves no better results and perhaps net as good results as Intravenous Injection of a pint of gum saline solution (S j-er cent gum acacia with 06 per cent saline) to fill the empty vessels and give volume to the blood, and at the same time to Inject subcutanccusly about the same quantity (a pint) of oxygen gaa.

Whatever went on behind the closed portals of No. 10. no one but the principals professed to know snd they kepi the most discreet si lence. There were some Informed persons who aald a decision by either the king or the prime minister might be forthcoming at any hour, but the majority opinion was that not until Monday would the empire know the destiny of the crown. King Favored Masa demonstrations In ths streets or Edward's personal popularity, and the whole-hearted public support of Winston Churchill heartened that section of the British public which would like to see the king's per son si wishes prevail over the dic tates of his cabinet. On the other hand, those firmly opposed to the pro poet of twice dlvorced .American-born woman's be coming England's queen, believed the fourth session between Baldwin and the king In four days Indicated the prime minister would stick to his guns snd Insist on a speedy decision. Edward himself searched his heart for the answer In his secluded coun try seat at Port Belvedere, where he and Mrs. Simpson had spent so msny care-free hours. Late In the dsy he received a tele phone call from Mrs. Simpson aa she halted her flight to a refuge from the eyes of the world to Inquire of Edward himself what she and he might expect their futurea would be. 4 IN STATE BETTER PORTLAND.

Comment of ths Day '$ News By FRANK JENKINS ON THE eve of the opening of the 21 -nation peace conference In Buenos Aires (the 31 nations are all American nations) Argentina gives President Roosevelt a grest ovation on his arrival. That Is pleasing. President Roose velt is the chief executive of the Unlteci States. The United States has long been referred to In South Amer ica as "the Colossus of the North." Suspicion of the Colossus of the North has been responsible for In ability of this country to work as closely wit), tn nations of Central and South America as has long been regarded as desirable. Our smaller neighbors to the south have feared that the time might come when we would take a notion to gob ble them up. 4- IN THB past, such a thing WAflNT Impossible. But we've come fin ally to realize that we have about, all the territory we have any use for. In fact, we're getting ready to turn ne Phllpplnes loose. About all the Colossus of the North wants now Is to get along peacefully with Its neighbors and sell them as much as It can. If President Roosevelt can "get over" that fact to the people of South America, his trip will have been a great success.. NOTE, please, that the day of his arrival in Buenos Aires Is de scribed as a "bright, warm day in early summer." Most of us don't stop to think of It, but in Argentina, which Is south of the ?ouator, summer Is Just be ginning. Down there, the seasons are Just exactly opposite to our sea sons here. IF YOU like summer, and have the means to travel, van ran llv in perpetual summer by the simple de vice of crossing back and forth over the equator. With airplane service steadily improving, that Is coming to be a rather simple matter, 4- WE ALL think we like summer and that It would be grand to live where summer Is perpetual. But, oddly enough, the regions of the earth where summer Is more or less per petual AREN'T the outstanding ones. Humanity seems to have donu better for itself in those places where In easy summer it has to prepare for hard winter. In other words, the necessity to WORK AND SAVE have been a good thing for human beings all over the world. Reckless lirlver Jailed POriTLAND. Dec. 5.
