The great dominion of India, which received its independence August 15, 1947, announced that it intended to become a republic.

As a republic it couldn't be a member of the British commonwealth of nations because they recognized the English king as their king. This posed a momentous problem. The commonwealth didn't want to lose India, and India didn't want to leave, but Republics don't have kings. However, in the U4 tn i Jake Bird Sentenced to Hang on July 15 TACOMA, June 10 (JP) -Noose-cheating Jake Bird, often doomed but never hanged, heard his death sentence pronounced for the fourth time yesterday.

There he took the salute of the royal guards in their scarlet and blue uniforms and tall bearskin headdress. A charming touch was added to the picture by Princess Eligabeth. heiress apparent to the throne, who rode a spirited horse side-saddle.

Well now, just how does nil this imperial displav fit in with socialism or does it? Do we have an anomaly here, or don't we? Why this reverence of the king?

Weather Is Better Thus the crown still continues to be the bond that holds the commonwealth together. Actually 53-year-old King George was born on December 14, but a monarch's birthday traditionally is celebrated on June 9, because the weather is better then.

Those who have encountered a December fog in London will understand. The king's official birthday brings a half-holiday to many in England and in other parts of the empire and commonwealth. The commonwealth emassies in Washington closed for half the day, with the exception of the new Indian embassy, which shut down for the whole day. When an official from the British embassy mentioned this divergence to an Indian official, the latter replied: "Yes, we are shutting down for the entire day. So we are twice as loyal as you are."

Rut things are different now.

The monarch is outside politics. King George is liked for himself he is a good fellow. And he has a grand family. "And, of course, this royal pageantry is a fine 'show'. It fills a sentimental gap.
