iloyalNcwlyweds Will Be Active In British Life

By NOR-MAN CRJIEENS Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON. Dec. 23 -(CP) -Re-

turn of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip_ Duke of Edinburgh, from their honeymoon wrote "finis" to a romantic chapter of British history which began early in the Year with spreading rumors of their betrothal.

Now the public has grown ac- customed to them as man and wife, Elizabeth and Philip will settle down to a. work-a-day round of public duties while making a tem- porary home at Buckingham Pai- acc. Their official London resi- dence. Clarence House, is being renovated and will not be ready for some months.

Buckiuglinni Palace officials pre- dicL the Ru_\‘.1l couple will play a prominent rmrt in public life durin" 1313 and will. in many re- sperm: lullow the earlier example set by the Duke and Duchess of Kent, married in i934.

Because of so many commitments at home, it is not expected they will visit Commonwealth countries before 1.049. When they are at llbcrty to travel. it is possible they will accept Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King's invitation to visit Canada.

Princess Elizabeth and Philip, erstwhile prince of Greece and nephew or Earl Mountbatten, Gov- ernor-Gencran of India. were un- doubtedly the most popular and most publicized figures of 1947. Months before their engagement was announced the whole western world was stirred by rumors n! it. Every time Philip's picture ap- peared in the press there was con- jecture as io whether he would ultimately be accepted into the. Royal Family.

A Popular Figure

The tremendous outburst of en- thusiasm following lust July's of- ficia] betrotlial left no doubt-that the Britizh public had taken the young Royal Navy lieutenant to its heart.

Elizabeth too, derived added gia- mor from the cngagrment as her future subjects raw in new photo- graphs an extra sparkle and vi- vaclty.

The long-nwziited marriage cele- mony at the Abbey Nov. flu-Brit- ans biggest social event since the Coronation -v.'as superb and sim- ple; essentially English in its Cﬂl- tarasts. Kings, minces and prelaces, spcndld in uniform and cope, sat only n few feet from men in lounge suits-a cheerful concession to the age of austerity.

For thc first qme in history, at tie wedding of an heir to the Throne, camera men were allowed to film the procession while mic o- phanes carried the service to mil- lions listening in every part of the globe. _ Visitors from distant lands -in- eluding European royalty -enthus- ed over the unaffected dignity of the young couple and spoke in high praise of the brilliant yet eloquent- ly simple service.

“The British know how to blend pomp with simplicity better than anyone." said a Belgian newspaper man, and the wedding passed into history as a brilliant compromise between the splendor of the past and the austerity of the present.

For 1938 Britain faces a regime on intensified savings and increas- ed exports in an oifort to retrain economic independence, whatever aid is forthcoming from North America. .

Success will help Europe toward self-sufficiency. Shipments of Brit-

ish coal would bolster the pro- grams of many countries WIllCJ now must ‘spend precious dollars

on United States fuel. France, for example. Ls lmpOrilng nearly 2.00.).- 000 tons of coal a month, mostly from the United States.

Her own mines were headed to- ward a record output sear- run- ning well ahead of 1938 _ w~r~i scores were closed by strikes fur higher WUIOS. The flow of supplies to French industry, which also was showing a steady improve- ment. was disrupted and will not be restored for months. g At the year-end most other Eur- opean coal producers were still struggling to equal pre-war produc- tion. Much depends on the efforts of German miners in the Ruhr, which once shipped coal all over western Europe but now is produc- ing only 60 per cent of 1938. Poland is one of the few countries to sur- pass lts pre-war outiput.

In broad coUine, France is a test-tube for western Europe's dif- ficulties. Her industry is distressed by shortage of materials and un- rest among workers, whose wak- ing hours are preoccupied by tho diminishing purchasing power of their cunrency.

Her agriculture suffered severe- ly in the war. Fields that were not battle-ravaged were neglected and deprived of needed fertilizers. Manpower was sea red in mili- tary and forced labor drafts and livestock was destroyed. Farm equipment rusted or stood idle ft lack of parts.

Belgium Better Off

But although she seems prosperous in eontraet to her neighbors, her peo- ple groan about the high east of living
