the system back to the Van Swer

Ball told the committee yesterday
that he bought the controlling
stocks of the 23,000 mile railway
network at auction in 1935 from a
Morgan banking syndicate.
Under a recently-completed py
ramid of Holding companies, Ball
said, control of the huge system
now rested in $8,250 worth of stock.
"Do you mean to say that $8,250
Worth of stock control* Wiltons of
dollars worth of property?" Chair
man Wheeler (D-Mont.) asked.
"Yes.”
“And that one man can tossthll
control around like a toy balloon?1*
Wheeler continued.
“1 wouldn’t call it a toy balloon.”
Ball told investigators he had
I given the Van sweringens a 10 year

Meanwhile, they were given the
right to vote the stock as they
pleased, although Ball retained ac

As active managers of the sy
stem, he continued, the Van swer
ingens were given a drawing ac
count of $100,000 a year by mid
America.

Royal Love Affair
(Continued from page one.)
Duchy of Cornwall, which the king
uses to signify the self-established
demarcation ^etween his state and
private life, Edward groped for es
cape from his quandary, for the
answer which Prime Minister Stan
ley Baldwin says he must and will
make.
At Cannes, Mrs. Simpson's friends
said the American divorcee and the
king both were determined to fight
for the morganatic marriage which
the government of England would
deny them, short of abdication. This,
despite Mrs. Simpson's announced
willingness to give up the king rath
er than harm either her royal suitor
or the mighty throne he holds).
Drives Over Ice
Over the Ice-coated roads to Bel
vedere today came the Duke of
Kent, Edward’s youngest brother,
who alone of the family Windsor
has matrled a princess of royal
blood—Marina of Greece.
Reports said the Duke of York,
Edward's helr-presumptlVe, already
was there. Also in what may be de
cisive consultation with the king
were Walter T. Monckton, the mon
arch’s legal adviser, and his per
sonal solicitor, Albert Oeorge Allen.
Kent drove hie own car over the
glaring lanes to Belvedere. The
roads were so bad that at one point
four cars were piled up, and bicy
clists were unable to move a wheel.
In London, Clement R. Attlee,
leader of his majesty’s opposition
In commons, presided at a private
meeting of labor and parliamentar
ians for a full discussion of the
constitutional position of king and
government. Attless Is supporting
the attitude of Prime Minster Stan
ley Baldwin, but has expressed no
public opinion and has not been
asked for his views.
Paper Is Disgusted
Striking a new note In the em
pire comment, the Communist Dally
Worker said:
“The question of the king’s mar
riage Is not worth a ha’penny of
concern to the common people of
this country. It is a private matter
of concern only to the Individuals
affected x x x Labor should voice
the disgust and contempt of the
masses of the people against these
byzontine Intrigues of a corrupt
and dying class."
Today’s Labortte meeting made It
clear there would be some criticism
of Baldwin, in due time, despite
whatever general policy Is formu
lated. However, there was consid
erable support for the view that
the king should take the advice of
his ministers, when lt is offered.
Attlee was due to ask Baldwin if
he had a further statement in com
mons, but it was assumed the prime
minister's reply would be negative.
Monckton, who is attorney gen
eral of the Duchy of Cornwall, left
Belvedere by royal motor car with
Sir Edward before noon.
The king’s 'repeated consultations
with high officials of the duchy
led to reports that some sort of
financial arrangements are under
consideration.
The king receives about £119,000
C$696,000) annually from the Duchy
of Cornwall and about £90,000 ($450,
000) from the Duchy of Lancaster.
The latter has been an appanage
of the throne since the 14th cen
tury. The title Isnds of Cornwall,
by royal charter, pass to the eldest
son of the king or, laoklng a son,
revert to the sovereign.
Sftice Edward’s abdication would
creat an unprecedented situation as
regard these revenues, speculation
has been rife as to their possible
dlsposlton. It has been assumed by
most observers that parliament
would be obliged to make some pro
vision by special legislation.

COTTON LETTER
NEW YORK, Dec. 8. — Market
quiet and most of transactions were
of a trade character. Sentiment is
apparently more friendly to the
market in the belief that the fa
vorable textile situation will be re
flected in a higher range of prices.
The wide changes in the previous
estimates this season have un
doubtedly restricted business to
some extent. The possibilities for
the pull all seem to be on the con
