LONDON, July 3.-A practically
certain" deficit in the British budget
because of defense expenditures was
forecast today in the House of Com
mons. At the same time the empires
participation in the European arma-
ment race was defended by Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin.
Neville Chamberlain, chancellor Of
the exchequer, pronounced the deficit
warning as Commons passed the
finance bill embodying budget pro-
posals.
Baldwin, speaking before a Con-
servative Association dinner upon his
return to London from the country,
declared Great Britain Joined the re-
armament program Of other Euro
pean nations because adherence to fu-
ture League of Nations obligations
will very probably bring war in its
train"

He acknowledged large expenditures
for defense, "if protracted too long,
may ruin us all" He expressed hope,
however, armament reduction may be
discussed sooner or later"
Prime Minister Baldwin's firm state
ment-"I will retire when I think
f1t"-meanwhile failed to halt parlia-
mentary rumors he will resign next
month. His friends believed he would,
after further consideration, step out
of office when Parliament adjourns
about August /.
OF his personal position, Baldwin
declared:
1.-THE first moment I feel myself
incapable Of sustaining the burden
now resting on me I shall be pre-
pared to pass it to other hands. But
1t is for me to decide and for no one
to dictate to me-"
Agree on Reich Planes.
Baldwin adjusted what he termed a
misunderstanding" with the Mar
guess of Londonderry, former air Sec
retary, concerning figures on the rate
of German rearmament. His reply
was made to opposition members in
the House of Commons after La
borites charged the prime minister
lied"
ut is not a case Of there having
been any difference between myself
and the air ministry as to our earlier
estimates Of the rate Of German re-
armament in the air having been
falsified by subsequent acceleration, u
Baldwin asserted.
Lord Londonderry said he was
quite satisfied" with the explanatory
statement.

BIG MEADOWS. Shenandoah Ma

what he described as the tragedy Of
waste-human as well as material re-
sources-President Roosevelt in a
speech here today dedicating the
Shenandoah National Park made an
ardent appeal for the preserving and
developing the natural resources of
this country.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that the Ma
tion's natural resources are "our price
less heritage" and that by developing
them 1--WE are equally conserving our
priceless heritage of human values by
giving to hundreds of thousands of
men the opportunity for making an
honest living"
The President delivered this dedica-
tory address from a platform this
plateau in a remote section f0f ~
Blue Ridge Mountains, in the presence
Of large crowd. Speaking in a
natural amphitheater, after motor
trip from Washington, the President
said the creation of the park is one
part "of our great program of hus-

human resources and our natural re-
sources" and he took occasion tc
praise the men of the Civilian Con-

have done on the park.

The share of the c. C. c. men In
this park work. the President re-
minded his audience, is as significant
as though, instead of working for the
Government, they had worked in a
mill or a factory. The men, the
President said with feeling, have a
right to be as proud of their labor
here as if they had been engaged in
private employment.
Mr.. Roosevelt was introduced by
Gov. George c. Peery of Virginia,
following invocation offered by Right

used to protect the covenants"
ny the Associated Press.
GENEVA, July 3.-France called
today for a reinforced system OF re-
gional pacts, supervised by the League
Of Nations, to guarantee world peace
by military force.
Yvon Delbos, French foreign min
lister, urged before the Assembly OF
the League a speedy reformation OF
the international peace body by which
aggressors would suffer swift armed
punishment.
He addressed a group Of statesmen
whose nerves were on edge after the
firing Of two shots in the assembly
hall. A Czech newspaper man. seated
in gallery adjoining the delegates
benches, had shot himself. The
wounded man, a Jew, left letter say
ing he wished by his act to draw world
attention to the situation Of the Jews
in Germany.
Delbos announced France planned
to establish new treaties and to
strengthen existing pacts.
He advocated elimination from the
League covenant of the requirement
in Article XI that unanimous vote
OF the Council is necessary on meas
ures to safeguard peace. However, he
said, the fundamentals of the cove
nant should not be changed.
The French foreign minister as
serted a system of regional pacts
under League supervision would estab-
lish a close link between economic
and military sanctions and would
strengthen provisions of the punitive
Article XVI to make automatic mill
tary action against an aggressor scer-
tain.
Dangers Increased.
Declaring "the prolongation OF un-
certainty increases the dangers of a
situation" Delbos asked the members
to submit suggestions for reform be-
fore August IS, in order to allow the
September Assembly to make decisions.
He emphasized that "the League met
defeat Gin the Italo- Ethiopian con-
f1ict) because the arms of the Cove
nant were not employed in full"
He argued that to reduce the League
to a purely consultative institution
would be to strike it terrific blow"

The League must be made practical
and must be made more than q great

Portuguese foreign minister asserted.
Spanish Foreign Minister Augusta
Barcia vigorously opposed reform of
the League Covenant. He argued to
the delegates:

The Spanish delegate declared what
should be reformed is, not the COW
