Obey Or Lose Estates"

Kitzbuhel.

TX-PRINCE NICHOLAS OF RUMANIA, stripped of his rank and exited eight months ago because he refused to give up marriage to a commoner, has been forbidden by his brother, King Carol, to export £44,000 with which he planned to build a home for himself and wife in Italy.

King Carol also warned his brother that if he disobeyed his estates in Rumania might be con- fiscated.

curl

The King's command, in phrases, was given in a letter de- livered to the ex-prince to-day in his lonely villa two miles from Kitz- buhel, Austrian winter sports centre.

The Queen-Mother, ill In the Cotroceni Palace outside Bucharest, denies rumours about the parting of her two sons.

It had been stated that at the height of their quarrel eight months ago Nicholas seized a revolver and attempted to shoot King Carol. Their mother threw herself between them, receiving the shot intended for the King.

RUMOURS DENIED

The Queen-Mother, in her letter, states that that was not true, adding that the quarrel was provoked by Mme. Lupescu, who thought she had been snubbed by Nicholas's wife. red twentynine-year-old -haired

She continued: "The two brothers disagreed and parted, alas on un friendly terms. But even my short tempered son (Nicholas) never lifted his hand against his brother. We are not savages!"

Sir Frank Swettenham, best known of Malayan ex-Governors, in a letter to the Daily Telegraphs to-day.

Sir Frank refers to the recently published report of the Commission of Enquiry into the Trinidad riots last year, and suggests that "this was

not the first time that there was trouble with the native population in Trinidad."

Agreeing with the Commission's inding that the conduct of the Administration was lamentably weak at the criticnt moment, he suggests that such troubles might be avoided Its future by the method he proposes and declares that "It is extraordinary how ignorant the Government auth- orities in one Crown Colony are of the methods pursued with success in another where the conditions practically the same."
