B E w DIE Y, Worcester
shire, England, April 49,
Brltain's prime minister,
Stanley Baldwin, today hailed
Adolf Hitler of Germany as
the man who holds the peace
of Europe and called upon
him to end the Nazi dictator
ship" in Germany as a step
toward European goodwill.
In an important speech before
his constituency here, the bluff and
stalwart Prime Minister called for
a campaign to restore the collec-
tive security of Europe, pledged
Italy that Britain did not seek it's
defeat and humiliation" as a re-
suit of the Ethiopian war and adj
mitted the failure of the League
OF Nations efforts to halt that
conflict.
Baldwin declared the world still
has some way to go before it at
tains collective security and that
any security system will never
work unless all nations who par
tlcipate therein are prepared si-
simultaneously to threaten with mill
tary sanctions any future agrees
sor." 1t was partial confession
of the failure of British and League
efforts to halt the Italio-E Ethiopian
conflict.
Denies Closing of Canal
Baldwin indicated that Britain
will refrain from attempting to close
the Suez Canal as final last dras-
tic penalty against Italy.
F. After citing the Leagues inabil-
ity to prevent the war and referring
to the weakening effect upon the
penalty program Of the non-par-
ticipation of the United States, Ger
many and Japan, the prime min
lister said:
1T is difficult to see how in the
existing membership of the League
a blockade would be agreed to by
members forming the League"
Referring to Italy's alleged use
OF poison gas against Ethiopia, Bald
win asserted that the end of civil
izatlon is certain if the same meth
DDS are employed in Europe.
Fears Anarchy After War
IF such thing were done, when
war came to an end, the raging peo-
pies of every country, torn with pas
sion and suffering from the horror.
would destroy every government in
Europe and we would have anarchy
as protest against the wickedness
of those in high places" Baldwin
said.
The next few months are vital in
determining war or peace" the
prime minister said, and appealed
to Adolf Hitler Ito lift a dictatorship
which in the long run brings moro
perils in its train than it removes"

is in a better position to do so than
any other living man in Europe" to
help Danish the specter of war.
Pledges Britain's Help
He has it in his power. God
grant that he will have the will. If
he is willing, nothing Britain can do
will be left undone to help him.
Il am convinced that if Hitler
has the will there would be no peo-
pie in Europe but that would CO.
operate with him for they look
toward war with horror" Baldwin
continued.
Looking into the mediate Euro
pean future, Baldwin asserted, Il
would not say that omens are
wholly unfavorable. The sky is dark
in many places"
He reaffirmed Britain's eagerness
to mediate the Franco-German TN

Very good" Just 1lne,' and many similar expressions were heard following the grade school entertainment given in the Douglas high school auditorium, last even ing as the large crowd of patrons and other attendants voiced their appreciation of the performances.
 First number on the program, "Santa's Recovery" a one act play, was presented by the pupils of the First, Second and Third Grades under the direction of Miss Eli zabeth Fraser. Based upon the re- covery of Santa Claus from an ill., ness, the play afforded the little children opportunities for appro- priate juvenile interpretation, pleas ing to the audience.
 Large Orchestra Heard The school orchestra of eighteen pieces, largest in the history of the institution played three selec- tions, Bouquet of Roses al waltz, | by Johnson; Make It Snappy' a march by Niles, and Tn Days of Tore" a vagette by Young. The young musicians have made excel lent progress under the leadership of Clifford Carter.
 "Tomboy Jo," an operetta given by the pupils from the Fourth to Eighth Grades was the final num- Der on the program. This feature made a hit with the audience and reflected due credit to Miss Ma ghel and MT. Carter for their ca pablo direction.
 Each one of the children in the operetta did remarkably well with Borghild Havdahl and Annabel Ed wards having the leads, being sen- titled to special mention.
