Perhaps the most striking tribute Edward of Wales was ever paid-or is ever likely to be paid-was voiced last week by notorious "Emperor" A. J. Cook, the ruthless apostle of "class war" who provoked the disastrous British General Strike (TIME, May 10-24, 1926). Nine Tories out of ten would not disbelieve anyone who told them that Mr. Cook has actively plotted to topple down the British Throne.

Some years ago the Union of South Africa forbade laying on of the kiboko by private individuals; but this law, like U. S. Prohibition statutes, has suffered practical modification.

The majority may be right again, but last week some very pessimistic information about the Reich was vouchsafed by an expert known to have the ear and confidence of U. S. President Herbert Hoover. Indeed this expert, Dr. Julius Klein, was responsible for building up under Secretary of Commerce Hoover one of the most favorably-known trade in formation bureaus possessed by any state.
