IN COMMONS
ON COLONIES

LONDON, April ~ G.N.S0.
The incessant attack on the gov.
eminent by members Of Parlia-
ment who fear that some Of
Britain's inundated territories may
be handed over to Germany
brought today the strongest state
ment yet made by Premier Stanley
Baldwin on the issue, a flat pledge
that no secret action to dismem-
Der the empire would be taken.
The government has not con-
Sidered and is not considering the
transfer of any inundated territory
to any other power, Baldwin told
the House Of Commons in an at
tempt to allay fears raised by his
earlier refusal to promise that a
readjustment of colonies would not
be considered in the future.
Still refusing to bar an interna'
tional discussion of mandates,
Balwin stated that the British gov
eminent has no intention Of
raising the question itself.
If some other power brings up
the matter. however, the British
government will not commit it.

lens at issue without giving the
fullest opportunity for discussion

DUE TO LACK
OF BUYING
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, April ~ G.N.S0 l..
Stocks dropped / to 3 points
in exceedingly light dealing
today, an absence Of new
buying rather than actual liqui-
dalton bringing a weak under
tone.
The strong Leftist movement
in the early returns on the
French elections was a factor in
the decline.
Motors, steels, rails, rubbers
and chemicals were hardest hit,
with a few individual thin issues
slumping as much as 6 points.
Chrysler Declines
Chrysler after opening frac-
tionally higher was carried 2
points under its previous close,
while General Motors lost more
than a point. Auburn tumbled
more than 2 points.
Indications of a tapering off IN
steel operations attracted selling
in steel shares, Bethlehem and U.
S. Steel each slipping more than
a point and Republic losing nearly
as much.
Delaware and Hudson was par.

i. 5. OPPOSES
LEAGUE FOR
AMERICAS

AutSEuhtAOBdA NEWS 0SEVlCO e
The United States Government
is likely to oppose the proposal Of
the Latin-American republics for
creation of an American League
of Nations. ~
This was learned today as o,
diplomatic committee proceeded
with the drafting of a tentative
agenda for the Pan-American
Peace Conference to be held in
Buenos Aires this summer.
The view prevails in American
quarters that establishment on.
this continent of any body organ.
lied along the lines Of the League
Of Nations would prove imprac-
ticable. Z,
Proposals Stunned
This government is particularly
disinclined to support two of the
proposals which would form the
foundation of the proposed Amer
lean League. e..
These call for conclusion Of q
mutual assistance pact and estab-
lishment of permanent court Of
justice for the Americas modelled
along the lines of the Hague
Court.
In connection with the proposed
mutual assistance pact, this gov,
eminent still adheres to its tradi..
tional position of avoiding politir
cal alliances involving military
commitments, even with Latin
America. r
Lack Army and Navy :
Apart from the traditional
angle, the practical disadvantages
of a mutual assistance pact with
the Latin-American republicans
IRE considered to outweigh the
advantages.
Latin-America as a whole pos
sesses comparatively insignificant
military forces. None of the
Latin-American republics possess
powerful navy and few possess
armies of any importance from an
international standpoint.
