Eden Warns That Another
World War Impends

CAPT. ANTHONY EDEN, British
~ foreign minister, stood up in the
house of commons and warned the
world that recurrence of the World
war was imminent and in his opinion
could not be averted except by sys-
tenn of collective security embracing
all nations in an authority which is
unchallenged and interchangeable"
Eden impressed upon members of
the parliament the difference between
a policy of collective security and one
of enlightenment, such as the "ring Of
steel" which Germany complains is
being forged about her by France.
''The British government will have
no lot or part in enlightenment" Eden
said.
Earlier In his speech the minister
announced that the sanctions already
imposed upon Italy by members of the
League Of Nations are achieving their
purpose Of Fastening the cessation of
war between Italy and Ethiopia. He
failed to satisfy the opposition on the
question Of an oil embargo against
Italy by sidestepping definite COM
mitment on such boycott.

out by F. d. Roosevelt, he had the sat-
isfaction of seeing his repeal plank
put into the Democratic platform. OF
late he had been an outspoken critic
of the New Deal policies, for he was
a champion of state rights.
Henry L. Roosevelt was the fifth
member of his family to serve as as
sistant secretary of the navy, and in
recent months he had played an in
creasingly important part in the af-
fairs of the department, acting as
secretary during the illness of Secre-
tary Swanson. He was student in
the naval academy class of 1909, but
left before graduation to become a
second lieutenant in the marine corps,
in which service he rose to the rank Of
colonel. He was buried in Arlington
National cemetery with full military
rites after funeral ceremonies that
were attended by President Roosevelt
ARD many other high officials.

Weekend Activities of
President Roosevelt

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT had a
L busy weekend. First he went to
Philadelphia and received from Tenn
pie university the honorary degree of
doctor of jurisprudence. He deliv-
cred an address in the course Of which
he said: "True education depends
upon freedom in the pursuit Of truth.
No group and no government can
properly prescribe precisely what
should constitute the body Of knowl-
edge with which true education is con-
cerned. The truth is found when men
are free to pursue 1t.
ut is this belief in the freedom of
the mind, written into our fundamental
law and observed in our every day
dealings with the problems of life,
that distinguishes us as nation"
Next the President hurried up to
Cambridge, Mass, to see his son John
initiated into the old aristocratic Fly
club of Harvard. Returning to Hyde
Park, Mr.. Roosevelt delivered radio
address marking brotherhood day of
the national conference Of Christians
and Jews, and he called on all be-
lieving Americans to unite against the
wave of irreligion that challenges all
faiths,

souri,. Democrat, author Of the resolu-
ton for the investigation. 1t was I'M
derstood that Mr.. Bell had already
gathered a mass of information to
substantiate the charge that the
Townsend plan has become huge
racket, The leaders of both parties in
congress have been getting rather
nervous over the growth of the Town
send movement and are glad to see it
attacked; but some impartial observ-
ers call attention to the fact that the
way the committee is going after 1t
smacks of unconstitutional abridge-
ment of the right to petition.
It was expected that one of the first
questions to be considered by the COM
mittee would be the salaries received
by DR.. Francis E. Townsend, author OF
the scheme, and R. E. Clements. for
mer California real estate operator,
co-founder and general manager. Glenn
ents has revealed to newspaper report
ers that he and Doctor Townsend re-
ceive salaries of 500 week each
from OARP-the old age revolving
pension organization-and $50 week
each from the Townsend national
weekly, which claims circulation Of
100000. 1t has been charged on the
floor Of the house that this newspaper,
privately owned by Townsend and
Clements, has a reserve fund of at
least 100000.
Congressman John Steven McGroarty,
California's poet laureate" says the
Townsendites will control the house Of
representatives at the. next session,
and adds: "They haye built up che
largest political organization in the
history of America, with 10 million
enrolled members. If you include those
who have signed petitions favoring the
Townsend plan the number is increased
to so million. By November it will be
twice this large This investigation
will vastly strengthen the Townsend
movement and anybody that knows
anything knows that. The American
people like fair play and they know
that this investigation is just dirty
politics."
