FOG THAT KILLED IL

LONDON, Nov. 27.-Millions OF
Britons breathed moderately fresh air
again tonight after three choking days
Of fog that was blamed for the loss
Of IL lives.
Before the fog-one Of the heaviest

soupy gloom had "blacked out" half
Of England. cutting visibility In many
places to a scant yards.
There were scores Of accidents as
pedestrians made torches of neWspa-

they groped along the sidewalks.
Buses ran behind schedule, or quit

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The French
Premier, Camille Chautemps, and his
Foreign Minister, Yvon Delbos. arrive
here tomorrow on an important mis-
sion which may serve as an antidote
to the recent Hitler-Halifax talks in
Germany. The distinguished French
visitors will tell Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain that Britain would be
shortsighted and foolish to buy peace
with Germany, either by relinquishing
colonies or by throwing Czechoslovakia
and Austria to the NaZiS' mercy.
The two top members Of the French
cabinet will see Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden as we'll as Mr. Cham
berlain during their two days stay.
There is no need for them to persuade
Mr. Eden, as he already shares their
point of view. Mr.. Eden is willing to
make an all-around peace settlement
with Germany. but not under the
compulsion of Teutonic threats to seize
colonies or march through Central
Europe.
Needless to say, MIR Eden is not a
member of the pro-German bloc
within the British cabinet, which be-
lieves that another European war
could be prevented or at least post
poned by allowing the Germans to
take certain liberties with Czecho-
slovakia and Austria. 1t is now before
M. Chautemps and Belbos to con-
vince Mr.. Chamberlain that the
dreaded war can best be forestalled by
closer cooperation between Britain
and France to make the London-Paris
axis more than match for the Berlin
Rome axis.
Three Schools in England.
There are no less than three schools
of thought in England today on the
problem Of how to prevent another
European war; or anyway how to keep
England out of it. One school COM
prised chiefly of Liberals and Labor
ties contends that Germany was
unfairly treated under the Versailles
Treaty, that Britain and France should
take the lead in returning all or part
of Germanys pre-War colonial empire,
provided Germany abates her active
preparation for another war.

World Trade Outlook
As q result. our snare of foreign
commerce has shown q much sharper
increase than that Of the world ct
large. In 1887, for instance, our ex.
ports and imports were 81 per cent
higher than In 1896, while total world
trade was up only Is per cent. This
year there should be modest gains In
overseas commerce, but the rate Of
increase will slow up. I expect that
Scandinavia, South America, Great
Britain and her DominionS will again
be our best markets.
International relations will not i'm
prove noticeably in 1898. think that
gangster diplomacy will continue IN
vogue for another year at least. But
am convinced from my trip abroad
this fall that 1898 will see no general
war. am not very hopeful over the
long term future, however. A bitter
conflict seems inevitable unless . new

this year! America Is suffering just
now from an attack Of business In
digestion complicated by severe case
of filters. The ups-and-downs OF
business seem to have been growing
deeper rather than shalower dur

cause the country Is swept BY sue
