Prince Bernhard Will Return To RADIO

An Office

WORK AT

CLERK'S SALARY

By HILDE MARCHANT

The Hague, Jan. 20.

WHEN Prince Bernhard

and Princess Juliana end their honeymoon, Prince Bernhard will go back to work in his little office in Amsterdam.

There he will continue his studies of economic and business relations between Holland and the Dutch East Indies.

An official of the firm which employs him said to me:

"Prince Bernhard approached one of our directors some time ago, and said that he hoped his room in the office would-be-kept open for him because he intend- ed continuing his work after his marriage."

Prince Bernhard has been employ- ed for some time with this firm. Ho has no official position, but is paid a nominal salary. At his own request that salary was the same as that of the clerks in the office.

"WE MUST CUT LOOSE"

BY EDWARD. THOMPSON

IN my reading of his character, Nehru is not primarily interested in

making India "independent" of the Empire,

If he believed the Empire were really a family of equal nations, whose individual members' hnd a "fair show," he would be willing that India should be one of these nations.

But he thinks that vested interests have us by the throat, and that our own snobbery and brainlessness complete India's subjection, so that there can be no freedom for Indla until she is cut loose from all connection with us,

An official contest to select a city anthem closed last Septem- ber with more than 1,000 solections presented by com- posers aspiring to the prize of: $2,000, offered by the American Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers, Since then the dozen members of the com- mittee of selection, headed by General Sessions Judge James World War.

I do not think the communal pro- blem will present the slightest difficulty when economic questions are being considered.

As for the Indian princes. It is absurd to expect that they should carry on in their feudal. autocratle way because of some treaty they made with representa- tives of the British power a hua- dred years ago.
