LONDON, May 2. (UP).-Ger-
many gained unexpected support
of her rearmament plans, in the
house of lords yesterday when
peers defended Reichsfuehrer
Adolf Hitler's break with the
powers over Versailles treaty
arms clauses.
The day was marked by two
other moves:
First, Britain officially open
ed consultations with France on
German naval re-armament, par
ticularly her plan to build sub
marines.
Second, The cabinet approved
statement on British foreign
policy.
These significant developments
were overshadowed by the unex-
pectedness of the support gwen
Hitler by some members of the
usually passive house Of lords.
The opportunity came in debate
on the air defense pact.
Germany is not the only pow
err which has repudiated the trea-
ties" said Viscount Esher. 1.-The
sins of omission of this country
and France are little better than
Germany's sins of commission
Britain repudiated the YER
sailles treaty by not making Ell
fective her pledge to disarm a1t-
er the World war"
The government spokesman
Earl Stanhope, added to the sur
prise when he admitted: "There
might be some doubt as to who
won the war, but there can be no
doubt but that Mr.. Lloyd George
lost the peace. 49,,
at is doubtful whether there
is anybody in any part who Wonlo
not rejoice if the Versaliies
treaty had been drawn up in a
different spirit"
Lord Lothian rose to comment
Germany as one of the great
world powers has suffered Ter
rible things"
Viscount Cecil: II always De-
lieved Germany had good case
on it's merits, but they seemingly
have done everything which hu-
man. ingenuity could devise TO
put themselves in wrong"
Sir John Simon, foreign secre-
tary, opened talks with the
French naval minister, Francois
Pietri, in his offices in the house
of commons this afternoon.
The initial conversations were
secret. Pietri conferred inform
allv with Sir Bolton Eyres-Mon-
sell. first lord of the admiralty;
He apparently is trying to find
out what the British position will
he when the informal anglo-Ger-
man naval conversations take
Mace here later this month.
The cabinet met at IL am. ana
accepted the German aerial chal-
| ienge. The government reliably
was said to have decided that
, under no circumstances would
Britain allow Germany to OUT
build this country in air force.

LLOYD GEORGE HIT
AS LOSING PEACE

LONDON, May 2.-(UP) Mem
bers of parliament listened with
anxiety as Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald explained Britain's
new foreign policy in the face of
the European arms crisis.
"Our policy combines the col
lective security with international
agreements for armament and
peace" Macdonald said.
He declared Germany could
make a valuable contribution to
the security of Eastern Europe.
Hitler has stated his willingness
to sign a multi-lateral non-aggres-
sion pact, although we had hoped
he would be prepared to join a
more comprehensive arrangement:
Nevertheless, the Hitler proposal
should not be dropped" it was de-
clared.

WASHINGTON, May 2. (UP).
Americans will be the most heav-
ily taxed people in the world un.
less new deal spending is curbed
Immediately, business leaders
warned yesterday in appealing to
the government to give industry
a chance to function normally
again,
The, threat of rising levies was
made by William B. Bell, presl,,
dent Of the American Cyanamld
Co., and other nationally proml-
nent men addressing delegates to
the Gard annual convention OF
the u. s. Chamber Of Commerce.
"Few know it but Americans
already are more heavily taxed
per capita than the French and
the Germans" said Bell. "Un-
less we cut out public works we
will soon be more heavily taxed
than the English"
He cited figures showing that
the per capita tax in the United
States today is $79, 81 more than
a year ago, compared to $685.
in Germany and $46.71 in France.
AS American taxes soar, the Brit
ish have balanced their budget
and are lowering levies. The per
capita tax in the United Kingdom
was $91.81 in 1884 and has been
cut to $3.50. ..-,..,
In defense Of this situation,
Bell said, the new dealers only
say: ..;,

Bells observations came as the
representatives of trade and com.

their bombardment on the recov-

attacked the socia lsecurity pro.

holding compsnies, the NRA. the

speakers have loosed upon the

 BINCO CONTESTS
No Admission to Be Charg= ed Nightly Starting
 Tomorrow.

The general public is invited to attend a Bingo game to be held every night throughout the winter Sundays included) at the Eagles hall, 119 North Main street, this city, starting Tuesday night, Oct. IS. The Waterbury lodge of Eagles who are sponsoring these nightly Bingo parties have announced that for the past several weeks they have been purchasing a very choice collection of assorted merchandise to be given away as prizes at each game, included among which are hundreds of very handsome lamps of all shades and descriptions, din- ner sets, glassware, bridge tables, dolls, toys, novelties and many other beautiful articles.
 Any patron has his choice of any article on display on the stage of the hall or if he so desires he may ask for a gift certificate which he can take to any one of many of Waterbury's leading merchants and cash it in there for food, clothing, groceries, etc. The Eagles hall which housed the marathon dance last winter has been thoroughly renovated and very tastefully deco rated by Waterbury artisans and will undoubtedly prove a surprise to those who see it for the first time. There will be absolutely no admis- sion charge and play will start promptly each night at 2 p. m., and those patrons who are there in time to play the first game will be allowed to play that game free.

tigate Situation Before Donating Cites Instance Where Church Got 20 Per Cent AbettOrs Rest

Secretary Frank Green of the Chamber of Commerce to-day warned Waterburians and residents of nearby towns against contribut- ing to church-aid drives without knowing just how much of their donation goes to the church. The warning is the result of the cur- rent solicitation of funds on behalf of Suburban church, in which the church gets but 20 per cent of the money raised while the promoters get the rest.
 Name Kept Quiet
 Secretary Green did not give out the name of the church involved to- day, but hinted that he might do so unless all those approached for funds are given the true facts of the situation. The drive is being conducted in the form of 8 sale of Go to Church" stamps, which sell for 2 cents each or $1 for each sheet of 50.
 The minister of the church signed a contract with the firm which prints the seals and received an ad- vance of SIC. A copy of the contract is now on file at the Chamber of Commerce here. It is definitely le- gal, but Secretary Green to-day was emphatic in declaring that he wanted all those approached by stamp salesmen to know that only 20 cents out of every dollar they gives goes to the church.
 A Great Racket
 It is believed that the salesmen and saleswomen who are distribut- ing the stamps are out-of-toWners.
