British Send Gas Masks,
1000 Rifles to Ethiopia

LONDON, Dec. 27 G.N.S0-As
Anthony Eden, new foreign minis
ter, and other British leaders re-
turned from their holiday hide
aways today to face the solemn
realities of the European crisis,
news from the far-flung Afro-Eu-
ropean front showed that Britain
is pursuring the dual policy Of
avoiding possibly inflammatory
incidents but at the same time
Fastening preparations for trouble.
Experts in the three defense
ministries worked on plans for in:
creasing the air, sea, and land
fighting enlarged appro-
priations for which were forecast
recently in speeches by King
George and Neville Chamberlain,
chancellor of the exchequer-and
diplomats prepared for the next
sanctions move at Geneva in
January.
Base Changed
The News Chronicle at the
same time said that, following the
mistakenly rumored clash between
italian and Egyptian troops on
the Libyan frontier, British and
Egyptian authorities decided to
evacuate the frontier post Of
Sollum. In future, the paper
understands, British forces will
make their base at Mersa Matruh,
farther east on the coast line.
The Egyptian cabinet, according
to Exchange Telegraph, has
authorized a grant of 100000 to
enlarge Alexandria harbors, now
jammed with British fighting yes
sels, provided Britain supplies the
remainder of the much larger total
cost.
Lifting of the arms embargo as
formerly applied to Ethiopia-the
League of Nations sanction No.
lis at last being felt in Africa
after several weeks, reported the
Daily Mail, with the arrival in
Berbera, British Somaliland, of
the first big cargo Of war ma
terialS from England for transShlp'
ment into Ethiopia.
The supplies consist of 15,000,'
900 rounds Of small arms ammuni
tion, 1000 rifles, SO anti-tank
guns, several thousand gas masks,
and forgeS and other equipment
for field armorers' workshops.
The first nation to give formal
answer to Britain's request for
armed cooperation in the enforce
ment of Sanctions, Yugoslavia, has
replied affirmatively. Exchange
reported from Belgrade.

HITLER INSISTS
UPON RETURN
0FCOL0NIES
Rebuffs British Efforts
to Check German
Rearnament

BERLIN, Dec. 27 d.N.SO .-Bri-
tish attempts to check German re-
armament with a revival of the
"air Locarno' and allround dis
armament schemes during
Europe's peril over the Ethiopian
war have met with a blunt rebuff
from Chancellor Hitler and a de-
mand for fighting equality and re-
turn of Germany's lost colonies.
Germany must be granted an
air force equal to the strongest
on the European continent-in
other words, France's-before she
will consider favorably an agree
ment among the Western powers
to give automatic aerial assist
ance against an aggressor. Hitler
vigorously replied, it was learned,
to British "feelers."
The Reich, emphasized the
Fuehrer, is ready to reduce her
mounting ornaments at the same
time and to the same extent as
VIC JULIET pOWcIS.
Playing Own Game
At the same time, unofficial
circles said, Germany continues
to play strictly her own "opor-
tunist" game in the League of
Nations coercion struggle with
Italy, while keeping a watchful
eye on French and British efforts
to keep Italy bound in the old
"Stresa front" against the re-
armed Reich.
Preservation of this three-poWer
union. from which sanctions
threatened to force Italy, was
one of the chief reasons back of
the disastrous Franco-British plan
for the settlement of the Ethi-
opian conflict, it is understood
Paris advices at the time said
that Sir Samuel Hoare, then Brit
iSh foreign secretary, and Pre-
mier Laval of France spent more
time discussing tre German sit
uation than they did the African
war.
Reports published abroad that
Germany is dissatisfied already
with the agreement under which
her navy might reach 35 per cent
of BritainS are, however, dis
counted here.
The Anglo German understand
ing is still regarded as sufficiently
elastic to suit German needs, but
it is believed that Hitler pointed
out that if Germany was expected
to cooperate in any future naval
limitation agreement, the powers
must invite her into their confer,
| enceS such as the five-power meet
ing soon to resume work in Lon
don.
Military Ration Up
Showing how completely the
cycle eff events, revolving dizzily
about the Ethiopian struggle and
Germany'S re m m n t, has
swung right back to those earth,
shaking days of last spring, comes
word from Paris that the same old
problem of a Franco German mill
tary ratio has arisen again.
In a debate in the Chamber Of
Deputies on the army bill depu
ties pointed that under Germany
rearmament program she would
have a standing army of 100000
men, while France would have
only 400 900 domeStically-Statio
troops.
Frances thesis, one of the block
AIDES to an arms reduction agree
ment, is that she must nave mill
tary parity with Germany without
considering French colonial troops
Counters Germany:
"YOur colonial troops can be
on French soil within a couple
of days; besides Germany, too,
must have colonies"

DEFENSE PLEA
TO CHAMBER
Blum Demands He
Quit; Renews Pledge
to Great Britain
BY MICHAEL WILSON

PARIS, Dec. 81 G.N.SO .-Ad.
dressing a Chamber of Deputies
ready to oust him for his conduct
of foreign affairs, Premier Pierre
Laval today declared bluntly his
course had been charted in fear
of war which might come upon
France at any moment.
Laval deplored the lack Of
universally" in the League of
Nations, declared Britain is an
essential element for maintenance
of world peace" and pledged
again that France would support
Great Britain "on sea. land, or
in the air" in the event of an at
tack by Italy during application
of sanctions.
Defends Proposal
Defending the peace plan he
and Sir Samuel Hoare. now re.
signed British foreign minister,
had devised to end the East Afri.
can war, Laval cited the fear
that Italy would interpret an oil
embargo as an act of war, and
that he and Sir Samuel had tried
to obviate its necessity.
Laval's defense of his peace
plan was similar to that Sir
Samuel made in the house of
commons after he had resigned.
In fact, Laval quoted from
Hoare's speech today.
Laval also hinted that his &C.
ton was designed to prevent
Italy from quitting the League
in anger, as Japan and Germany
did.
The implication was that Italy's
threat to quit Geneva was real
and that efforts to reach a peace
must be continued for this as well
as other reasons. France desires
no weakening of the League if it
can possibly be avoided.
BRITAIN ESSENTIAL
Britain is an essential ele.
ment for maintenance of world
peace. 1 do not regret the peace
effort was made. Peace must
be reestabIiShed one day.
1--WE are concerned at pres
ent in debating whether failed
to live up to Frances engage
ments toward the League, and
if / compromised our security
for the present and the future"
Among the charges which re.
suited in the downfall of the
Hoare-Laval plan was the accusa-
ton that France and Britain had
betrayed" Ethiopia and the
League.
For years Frances policy has
been built upon security first, com.
ing through the League.
Laval declared he always had
lived up to the sanctions voted by
the League.

painful, have been applied

"In order to diSsipate any

publicly"
Leon Blum, Socialist leader, at
tackled Laval, asking how he dared
to remain foreign minister (Which
post he holds along with the pre-
mierShip) after having made so
many mistakes" Blum shouted:
'YOu ought to go. You seem

for several minutes, came as the
climax to health lecture by DR..

The dancer threw open a wicker
basket and lifted the rattler out.
Several times she extended her
barred right arm toward the snake,
hesitated, and drew it back. Then
she slowly moved her arm near
the wide-open jaws.
Suddenly she screamed, snapped
back her arm and stood swaying with
the rattler held at arms length. She
hurled it into the basket and slammed
the cover down.

who clustered around q closed door
heard two shrieks at long intervals
and then saw her taken out of the
building, weeping and speechless. The
third finger and thumb Of her right
hand were bandaged.
DR.. Shanklin said she would be
on the platform with him tonight,
alive and well, to demonstrate the
efficacy of a vegetable diet.
