EDEN SAYS BRITAIN.
TO 0RELYONLEAGUE.
Parliament Cheers Speech
UphoIding Friendship
With Russia.
a, the Associated Press.

LONDON, November 6.--Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden in Parlia-
ment yesterday pledged Great Britain
to rely on the League Of Nations ana
indicated his country would not desert
Russia for Germany and Italy.
The foreign policy Of the British
government, as outlined by Eden's
speech, is committed to adherence to
the League as the best way Of keep
ing peace in Europe.
Eden said his governments efforts
would be devoted FIRST to strengthen
ing the authority of the League. to
which Great Britain will devote every
endeavor."
Because there has been one fall
Ure," Eden said, apparently referring
to the Leagues failure to prevent the
Italo-E Ethiopian war, there is no rea-
son to say that the world must turn
back on an endeavor which Is the only
alternative to catastrophe and failure"
Our second aim. is for negotiation
of European settlement and the third
is re-equipment Of our nation"
Eager for Italian Friendship.
Britain, he said, was amenable to
friendship with Italy and Germany.
but not at the price Of deserting Rus
sla.
1T Is fashionable in some quarters
to sneer at the League" he said, but
It is our hope and intention to prove
those sneers unjustified."
Both major factions in Parliament
cheered his assertion to stand by
Russia in any future rapprochements
with Rightist nations, such as Italy
and Germany.
Such a friendship cannot be ex-
elusive" he said; "it cannot be di-
rected against any one else"
He took issue directly with recent
declarations of high Nazi spokesmen
who have decried the loss Of German
colonies and economic starvation"
Said Eden:
IT must comment on the tendency
noticeable lately to put the blame
on this country for Germany's eco
nomic difficulties.
THAT Is a doctrine which we can
not for a moment accept. It Is not
in acceptance with the facts.
Loans to Nations Stressed.
Great Britain, he declared, had
loaned almost as much money to
Germany since the war as she col
lected in reparations.
The olive branch was also extended
10 Italy by Eden, with assurances
that England had no desire to dis
turb the status quo Of the Mediter-
ranean, which Premier Mussolini re-
Gently said was vital to Italy.
1--WE have no desire to threaten or
to attack any italian interest In the
Mediterranean" Eden said.
Turning to generalities on European
peace. Eden suggested two things"
Stressing Franco-British friend
ship, Eden brought down q salvo Of
applause when he said:
I'VE have the spectacle of some
nations beginning to sacrifice their
standards of living to standards Of
arming"
The Far Eastern situation, he said,
was considerably eased, with gov
eminent leaders convinced that .
stable understanding between Japan
and China could be expected soon.

The toll of casualties and property
damage inflicted by the insurgent
bomhardment was not Immediately
known.
As the shells began a crashing into
the capital the streets became de-
serted as If by magic. as pedestrians
scuttled into buildings and cellars.
The Fascist bombardment came
shortly after Madrid's women marched
out to join in the fighting, advancing
shoulder-to-shoulder with their men
folk in human WALL against the
onslaught Of Fascist insurgents and
flerce-ighting Moorish hordes storm
ing at the gates Of the capital.
Answer Desperate Appeal.
BY the hundreds, clutching up rifles,
comely young women and hard
muscled housewives answered the
governments desperate appeal for
new strength to hurl into the battle.
They marched grimly, with shining
eyes, toward the rumble Of guns
blazing within few miles of the
heart Of the city.
Workmen in overalls-a shabby but
determined legion-joined the war
bound exodus.
Feverishly, the authorities exhorted
all able-bodied persons to organize for
the defense. They described the
feminine combat reinforcement and
the enrolment Of workmen ss "the
only way" to save Madrid.
(This dispatch, heavily censored,
also spoke guardedly of scores of
n1ilicianos doing what has been de-
scribed as excessive guard duty In
the capital and added that there
are fewer people in the street."

Loyalists Hold Line.
With the bloody battle for Madrid
entering It's third day-the 112th
day of the revolution-war-weary and
hungry government militia still held
their ground along q 15-mile front
encroaching on the capitals suburbs.
The line, as held by government de-
Tenders, zig-zagged in . tumbled

from Madrid, it ranged from villa

to Pozuelo de Alarcon, w miles

The tip of the "v," farthest point
In the government defense lines, lay
east Of Boadilla Del Monte, 7k miles
west OF Madrid. That town fell to
the insurgents last night.
Socialist artillery rained shells on
the Fascist column attempting q flank

but the insurgents continued their
advance on Pozuelo de Alarcon, bring

no reason for transferring control from
the Democrats to the Republicans would
exist. There must be an essential differ
ence II there is to be q change in con-
troll Of Government.
This does not necessarily mean that the
Republican party should not be progress
sive, or that 1t should not respond to the
demand Of the people for liberal meas
ures. looking to the betterment of the
laborer and the farmer. It does mean,
however, that the G. o. p. has much to
hope for by holding fast to the principles
which first gave 1t birth.
In this country there Is . division of

between liberal and conservative. The

Another Program.

The fact that big business has seen

ignoring its sessions here last week, does
not worry Major George L. Berry. CO.
ordinator for industrial cooperation and
chairman of the council. Nor should it,
If the claims concerning the represent
ative character of the council are cor
rect Back of the council and its chair
man, according to the claims, stand
organized labor and the employers of
an estimated sixty per cent of the Ma
tion's employees. Such an alliance COM
mands respect.
And its legislative program commands
interest. For If the forces thus repre-
Sented are given articulate strength on
Capitol Hill this Winter, new and
persuasive voice will make itself heard
in the shaping of new laws.
The concluding act of the council,
however, was not to offer a legislative
program, cut, sawed and polished for
presentation to Congress. To Major
Berry and a committee was left the
task OF taking the material furnished
by reports approved by the council and
using it in the construction of pro-
gram. No easy task, when the nature
of some of the material is examined.
On their face, the principles embodied
in some of the reports are contradictory,
evidencing a certain desire to have ones
cake and eat it, too. Strict application
of the antitrust laws was indorsed,
along with the recreation of modified
N. r. A., designed principally to help
the little man" in business, and con-
tanning the necessary exemptions from
antitrust laws. The economy of abun-
dance" doctrine was blessed, along with
such elements of control over production
as are represented in minimum wage and
maximum hour regulation. The codes
for effecting agreements among en-
ployers as to better business practice,
wage and working conditions, outlawry
of unfair trade practices, etc., would be
accomplished through voluntary" agree
ments among those concerned. Yet such
voluntary" agreements, If they include a
"preponderant percentage" of industry,
would bind all of industry.
Major Berry and his committee have
been given practically carte blanche
authority to weave legislative pattern
from such fabric. And it will doubtless
be accomplished neatly enough. It's
adoption. Major Berry says will be sought
through laws that are within the frame
work Of the Constitution, which might
appear to some as another contradic-
ton. But If that is not possible Major
Berry and the council are willing to work
for the proper amendment Of the Con-
stitution.
The Council for Industrial Progress
may not represent all of industry or
even that part of industry that usually
has the commanding voice. But it is
moving distinctly in step with the ad-
ministration-of which it may be said
to be legitimate of1spring-toward objec-
tives that are beginning to assume tan
gible form.

THIS AND THAT
~ CHARLES Z. TRAcEHELL.

Observation Of shrubbery, including
the evergreenS, along q familiar route,
10 one OF the best WAYS to occupy ones
self while going around town.
Familiar routes, Of course, are best.
Then one can note changes, from time
to time, - they occur.
Elaborate paintings, while catching
the eye, are by no means best for this sort
of observation.
Often 1t Ii more interesting to note
the addition Of one small shrub to an
otherwise bare yard In the downtown Sec
ton than to see vast changes worked out
where good already exists.
It Is in finding such changes, wherever
they exist, that the best reaches of this
outdoor sport are found.
II any one doubts this is q real sport,
let him engage in 1t for time, before
passing judgment.
An interest in plant life, Of course, Is
necessary before one can do this good
looking.
Let it be said, however, that no expert
knowledge is necessary, that all that Is
required is a simple liking for and inter-
est in the growing plant life Of the globe.
That this rs q special interest may be
admitted, but at the same time 1t Is an
interest possessed in little by so many
persons who do not regard themselves
in any way as botanistS or horticulturists,
that many will Immediately be able to
keep watchout for such changes.
One Of the real beauties Of this good
looking OF which we speak Is that the
observer Is conscious Of seeing what 50
many miss.
Seeing good. where 50 many others ht--
orally see nothing, Is one way Of adding
immensely to life as we 60 along.
1t Is q way open to all. One may not
be an executive" but at the same time
one may, at least in this regard. surpass
the best of them. For 1t is notorious that
the true executive Is interested almost
exclusively in his own. He has little time
for other matters. Hence that stern,
almost forbidding air. (He forbids too
much)

Still, they were swell little trees and

Who got them and why? Who put out

urban streets there are few prettier small
trees than the various dogwoods.
Much good publicity in their behalf has

over here when he gets down to brass
tacks on debt matters. The circum-
stance that M. Bonnet was in confer
ence with former Premier Herriot just
before accepting the Washington diplo-
matte appointment is looked upon as q
favorable augury. M. Herriot resigned
the premiership in resentment of the
French Parliament's refusal to continue
payments to the U. s. A. and has con-
sistently advocated resumption.
Signs are piling up that the ticklish
question Of relief funds will not only be
the first to agitate the congressional
waters in January, but may lead to as
acrimonious and prolonged controversy
as the famous w. p. A. prevailing wage
scrap. Battle will rage over the amount
to which work-relief appropriations
should be curtailed. The administration.
aiming at budget-balancing, wants to
effect at least modest cuts in expenditure.
As revealed by the recent Mayors Con-
ference, there is bitter opposition even
to such economy. If relief costs can be
limited during the next fiscal year to
something like 500. .000. 900 month, it's
thought that . balanced budget might
be Just around the corner. Relief
workers, merchants and others are

are supposed to be sewed up by cam
paign pledges to keep relief dollars

The G.. o. P.'s Future.

The hope OF the Republican party
lies more particularly in education than
in organization. Until the people, the
farmer and the laboring man, as well
as the business man, reach the conclu-
sion that they prefer the G. o. P; until
they are convinced that the Republican
party and its principles are to their best
interest, organization can do little.
Political movements Of major impor-
tance come from the people. This does
not mean that there must not be leaders.
But leader is secondary. When leader
Is the proponent Of ideas which have al
ready terminated in the minds Of the
people, he moves forward. 1t is because
a leader is imbued with these ideas that
. he is able to take the spotlight.
In this Nation and under It's form Of
Government q strong minority is an es-
sential. And always q strong minority
has developed. It is far too early to make
predictions regarding the future Of the
Republican party. 1t has, however, his

Of the people themselves. It may, per-
haps, be wise for the present-day leaders
Of the party to think back. The party
has stood for freedom. It has demanded
sound financial basis for the Government
and for the country. It has demanded In
the past better and better standards of
living for the American people. These
are principles that any political party
may regard with pride.
In democracy, such as exists in the
United States, too much power has in
evitably proved a stepping stone to dis
aster, politically. It is for that reason
particularly that q party in control Of
Government should welcome strong op-
position-though short sightedly that is
not often the case when q party is in
power.
There is feeling in some circles that
the Republican party has passed its days
Of usefulness; that it must make way for
new party. There Is q demand that the
Republicans-some 100000 in number
as shown In the last national election
throw into the discard an ancient and
honored party name. But the chief rea-
son for advancing that idea Is that the
g. O. p. has suffered two overwhelming
defeats in succession.
There is demand, also, that the Re-
publican party model itself along the
lines of the New Deal Democratic party.
Such . move would bring into being two
major political parties with principles
almost parallel. III that we're 10 happen.

The Chinese Puzzle.

Even keen students of Oriental poll
tics will have difficulty in fathoming the
true inwardness of the latest turn OF
the Asiatic kaleidoscope. The mutiny of
troops in China's Shensi Province, COM
manded by Gen. Chang Hsueh-Liang,
former little marshall" of Manchuria,
followed by their seizure and imprison-
n1ent of Chang Kai-Shek, generalissimo
Of the Nationalist government, presents
Chinese puzzle utterly without parallel.
Pending Qualification of the circum-
stances which produced it, only one
thing is certain-that it plunges the
whole Far Eastern situation into incal-
culable confusion. That it may hasten
war between China and Japan is the
first and natural conclusion which will
be drawn, with imminent peril of that
general confagration in Asia, for which
conditions have so long been ripe
Marshal Chang processes to be actu-
sted by a patriotic desire to liberate
China from the japanese yoke. After his
capture of Chang Kai-Shek, the mutt
nous general called upon the Marking
government, besides declaring war on
Japan, to pledge itself to recover all lost
territory, including Manchuria, and to
readmit Communists to the Nationalist
party on terms of former equality The
governments reply was to strip Chang
of all authority and declination to con-
slider any of his demands until Chang
Kai-Shek is liberated. Refusal to COM
ply will result in drive to suppress the
nutinous leader as common traitor.
Chang Kai-Shek has been engaged in
q progressively successful effort to re-
establish Markings authority in the
northwest. It was essential, for this
purpose, to eliminate Marshal Chang,
whose loyalty was gravely questioned,
especially since his troops were reported
30 be fraternizing with the Chinese
Communists they were supposed to fight.
Chang himself planned to lead govern
1nent forces against the mistrusted mar
shal and went to Sian, capital of Shensi,
on that mission. There, on Saturday, he
was surrounded by Chang's men and
"kidnaped," together with a group Of
his principal aides.
Curiosity is widespread as to the sub
terranean role Japan may be playing in
this weird business. When the Japanese
began their Manchurian adventure in
1881. Chang held the province with
250o0o efficient troops, whowere elected
without resistance by three Japanese
divisions. During the intervening years
Chang has worked in more or less good
faith with Nanking, which gave him
various posts of responsibility and oppor-
tunity to rehabilitate himself.
Chang Kai-Shek's disappearance from
E1e leadership of the government at this
time would be calamity for China. He
has succeeded to a remarkable degree
IN unifying the Nationalist spirit and
making 1t possible for the Chinese to
show their teeth to Japan recently in
manner that has not been without effect
IN Toxic. The suspicion is bound to
arise that 1t is more than mere mutiny
by Marshal Chang that has brought
about the suppression of the man who
has come to be the chief thorn in the
side Of Nippon's war lords.
