South Seas Queen ts Coronation Bid A Queen of the South Seas is to have a seat in Westminster Ab- bey when Queen Elizabeth II is crowned next June 2, despite the British tradition against inviting foreign sovereigns to the ceremony, writes Melita Knowles in The Chris- tian Science Monitor. Britain's long friendship with the 150-island Kingdom of Tonga has warranted this very special invita- tion to the Queen Salote Tupou, an "old and faithful ally". Queen Salote is ruler of Captain Cook's "Friendly Isles", an inde- pendent British protectorate lying in the Pacific about 1,000 miles off the north coast of New Zealand. The famous explorer so named them because of his warm recep- tion there in 1773. In honoring the Tongan Queen, | Queen Elizabeth is expressing warm sentiments similar to those shown by her father, King George VI. When in 1951 the le of Tonga spontaneously celebra the 50th anniversary of the treaty under which the Tonga group be- came a self-governing state under the protection of Great Britain, the King sent a specially signed mes- sage of greeting. "The two kingdoms," King George said, '""have, since the beginning of the cen' ry, been in- creasingly bound ther by tic ment with a speech from the Throne, as Queen Elizabeth does. She opens meetings of her Parlia- queenly attire. Her crown weighs seven pounds as compared with Queen Elizabet's three - pounder. But she usually goes barefoot. Queen Salote was recently in Australia purchasing a wardrobe for the Coronation and studying the complicated protocol for royal behavior at the ceremony. Tonga is probably one of the few countries in the world totally "in the black'. The Queen makes fre- quent business trips to New Zea- land, the country that handles her financial affairs. Her subjects work hard to pay their taxes. Imports are balanced by exports of copra and bananas. AID IN TWO WARS The boys of Tonga on reaching the age of 16 are entitled to 8% acres of land for cultivation and a small domestic plot on which to! build a house; for this, until re- cently they paid an annual tax of 8 shillings a year ($1.20). Another annual tax of 32 shillings met the cost of education and medical, hos- pital, and dental treatment. Queen Salote has come to Brit 'ain's aid with men and money in two wars. In World War II her small kingdom presented two Spit- ' _es to Britain. A detachment of its defense force fought in the Solomon of affection and good will." .

As the only re- maining independent monarch in the Pacific, the Queen rules her is- land kingdom very much on the British pattern. Except that she keeps them completely solvent. The Queen follows precedents of 75 years of parliamentary practice. She openes meetings of her Parlia- dent. Don Ormiston holds the of- fice of secretary, and the treasur- er for the present year is Bill Henry. Working along with these officers and with the special com- mittees for the . Home Builders' Fair is a devoted band of hard- working members all of whom are playing their part to make the 1953 air an even greater success than was that of 1952.

On a land area of 269 square | miles, Queen Salote has 50,000 sub- ects. Her Majesty's biggest prob- em seems to be that the habitable land on the 150 islands may become overcrowded. The young Crown Tungi discuss- ed this on is visit to Britain in 1951. The Crown Prince also report- ed then that the ancient tortoise présented to Tonga by Captain Cook was still seen from time to time in the Palace gardens. Queen's Salcie's other souvenir of the visit of the famous explorer is a piece of bunting which she in- herited from her ancestors. FRIENDSHIP TREATY The Treaty of Friendship signed half a century ago with Britain as- sured Tonga of its heriditary mon- arch. The Queen claims 900 years for her family rule. She now loses no opportunity of doing things the English way. A recent report tells of a three-day visit to British Samoa, when the Queen held audiences aboard the SS Matua with all the pomp and ceremony of a London court. One of the cabins became a Throne m. : Queen Salote has ministers and ladies-in-waiting English style. The throne is portable and may be car- ried in a suitcase. Tongan artisans designed the transformation so that almost any type of chair might be elevated to the dignity of a royal throne for their Queen. THE | R.D.WERNERCO.(CANADA) Ld.

New Data Sought On Stars Britain, relates Scientific Ameri- can, is now building the world's largest radio telescope, an instru- ment measuring 250 feet in diam- eter and weighing more than 2,000 tons, according to Dr. A. C. B. Lovell, professor of radio astronomy at the University of Manchester. "Britain - anticipates a rich har- vest of discovery from the invest- ment," Dr, Lovell declared this week. CAUGHT SIGNALS "Until 20 years ago our only win- dow into space was provided by light waves," Dr. Lovell explained. "Then, quite by accident, a new window was discovered. While studying the atmospheric radio dis- turbances Karl G. Jansky of the Bell Telephone laboratories, pick- er up radio signals coming from outer space." Astronomers took slight notice, at first, of the radio experiments. The first radio telescopes yielded indistinct "images," gave little use- ful information. But after two dec- ades, radio receiving equipment has been improved so that points in space marked by radio signals can be mapped accurately. Much credit Yor this progress goes to the Ameri- can radio engineer Grote Reber. and the British scientists J. G. Bolton of Australia and Martin Ryle of Cambridge. In the meantime, astronomers have learned of a condition in the universe that seriously limits the usefulness of conventional tele- scopes, no matter how large or powerful they may be constructed. Some regions of interstellar space are blotted from view by immense clouds of dust. It.has been estimat- ed that such dust clouds hide over 80 percent of the stars in the Milky Way, the vast star system of which our sun and its planets form an infinitesimal part. Radio waves ignore the dust, hence it is easy to understand ' astronomy's growing enthusiasm for the new telescopes.
