LONDON, June Is O.N.SD
Gravity of the European crisis re-
sulting from the neutrality contro-
versy over Spain's civil war was
emphasized in the house Of COM
mons today by Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain.
In solmen tones, the new prime
minister pleaded for calm and con-
sidered action. 1t was one of his
first important public pronounce
ments on the European situation
since assuming his new post. He
said:
"The Spanish conflict is a per-
petual danger to the peace of
Europe.
"Britain's policy remains that
Of confinii & the war to Spain.
The situation is serious but not
hopeless. We must keep COOL"
The prime minister, at the same
time, made a strong bid to regain
German good will for Britain. He
paid tribute to Germany for the
restraint shown following the as
serted attack on the Reich cruiser
Leipzig by Spanish loyalist planes.
Majlor Clement Attlee, laborite
opposition leader. replied by de-
m anding abandonment of the
Spanish non-intervention policy
and urged action by the League of
Nations and restoration of free

S41,5O6 RAISED
IN B0YSCLUB
CAMPAIGN

Voluntary contributions to the
$4,000 fund campaign of the
Police Boys Club of Washington
were urged last night by Thomas
Ellis Lodge, president of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations,
speaking over radio station WRC.
The address was delivered as
the campaign fund moved past
the half way mark with total
of S41,506 on hand. The total
reported at the workers meeting
yesterday was 5000.
History Traced
Lodge, who has Just been
elected a member of the board of
trustees of the Boys Clubs, traced
the history Of the Boys Club work
in Washington, stressing recrea-
tional and educational opportuni-
ties to scores who otherwise would
be overlooked.
Explaining that the fund is
required for the operation and
maintenance of the clubs, Lodge
said:
II know that you, too, with
hundreds of others will become
actively interested in this cam
paign. This amount of money
is needed Immediately for ex-
panSiOn and for maintence in
order that these activities may
be carried on and additional
clubs established.
CAREFULLY CHOSEN
ut is of course impossible to
furnish clubs for every COM
munity. 1t might be unwise to
do so even if the funds were
] available, and, of course, they
are not. Let me make it clear
that careful consideration is
given to locating new clubs and
that it is the hope that every
community which needs a club
will at some future time have
one.
"That the Police Boys Clubs
are very fine community in
vestment from any standpoint,
Is, / am sure, entirely clear,
vet in addition to the general
advantage to the community
which these clubs bring,
want to tell you that in the
four precincts where clubs have
been opened juvenile delin-
quency has been reduced from
IS to IS per cent. This means
greater protection for your
property and that the cost Of
administration of justice in
your city has been reduced pro-
pOrtiOnately."

1.-THE SLOT MACHINE MENACE"

Sometime ago The Examiner CAME
to life with an article on gambling,
which was well taken by all think
ing men and women.
THE SLOT MACHINE is one Of
the most damnable forms of gambl-
ing the world has ever known,-it
is the means of teaching the boys
and girls the road that leads down
ward to ruin.
think that fair estimate of the
amount of the money that goes into
the pockets of the slot machine
owners and operators and the pro-
lection they pay in Pinal County in
round numbers is Fifty Thousand
Dollars a year.
That gambling is getting more of
a grip on the State was shown by
the debate in the State Legislature
now in session. 1t has come to the
point where the question is, "Wsll
the People Govern" or will they
permit the racketeers to run it.
Does any one believe that gambl-
ing exists without the knowledge of
the peace officers and the county
attorney? Officials become indebt-
ed to gambling operations where
games of chance are permitted to-
operate in defiance of the law.
Graft is bound to exist and grow
under such conditions. Citizens
must take UP the cudgel for honest
and fair enforcement of the law,
gambling laws included; with
racketeers controlling the officials,
the people have no government.
An official who receives money or
any other consideration from s'ot
machine operators or other gambl-
ing interests for permitting opera
tion of any gambling devise is a
racketeer.
1t is high time that people take
more interest at the polls and elect
men who will not be brihed to
wink at unlawful conditions.

Current Business
Is Holding j High
Levels Of 1886

~current business, on the average,
is maintaining the relatively high
levels reached at the end of 1886
ard the beginning of 1897. The
short tern outlook. so far as produc-
ton, sales and profits are cCnLern-
ed, is good. The long-term outlook
is questionable.
In those three sentences is found
the theme song of most of the busi
ness writer's at present. They have
at hand the cold statistics which.
with very few exceptions, are en-
couraging. But they are puzzled by
various conflicting tendencies and
opposed trends
There are three principal ele-
ments that make it extremely
hazardous to attempt to forecast the
course of industry and business be-
yound the next few months.
One of these elements is politics.
No one knows what the President
may have up his sleeve to present
to a Congress that, for good or eNi,,
Is in most matters completely sub
servient to his wish. At this time
the Supreme Court isse naturally
overshadows everything else. It is
.
certain that it will be long time
before the proposal is brought to
a vote. But there is at least an even
chance, once the showdown comes
and the cheat" is turned on, that
1t will pass AS a result, many ousi-
ness leaders fear that Mr.. Roose-
welt may have in mind legislation
of the type Of the late NRA, and
wants a more friendly High Court
in order to assure it's legality-they
anticipate that the Administra-
ton has a definite, even though
devious, program in mind that will
regiment industry.
Second element is labor. John l..
Lewis and his Clio didn't get any
where near all they demanded in
the General Motors strike They
did get some concessions and, mere
important, got official recogination
as bargaining agency in employer
-employe difficulties. Mr.. Lewis
Is now known to be looking at the
coal and steel industries, and con-
sidering plans for conquering them.
Other strikes are in the offing-
notably in textiles. The "sit down"
technique has apparently become al
tablished phase of strike strategy,
and laborites believe that both en-
ployers and government officials
will hesitate to evict site-downs IS
even though they have court in
functions behind them, because of
the possibility of violence and
bloodshed. With great labor-capital
wars impending, the investor and
the induStrialist are naturally

peace officers have not read "the
handwriting on the wall" and in
this connection the thought has oc-
Cured to me that perhaps they

year the people will have forgotten

are cheap, not knowing whether
there is real worth back of them or
not, and this heavily stimulated de-
mand, of course, boosts quotations
Summing up, it can be anticipated
with reasonable certainty that,
barring a major epidemic of strikes,
the business situation will relative
ly unchanged until after the middle
of the year, may even improve some
what. But there are too many
jokers in the deck to look ahead to-
the end of the year and into 1898
without resorting to plain guessing.
1t is significant that only the
amateur, inexperienced prognoati-
Gators are confident of what will
happen then-the experienced
authorities just shake their heads.

UTILITIES
OFFER FAIR
PROPOSALS

Advocates of governmental war
to the death" against the light and
power utilities say that the utilities
are non-cooperative, that efforts to
deal with them fairly are fore
doomed to failure.
And yet, when representatives of
the Tennessee Vallye Authority and
of private utilities in the South
eastern met recently to discuss vari-
Gus questions, the private utilities
presented specific suggestions in
writing, which included:
1. The creation of a power pool
or grid system, as suggested some
months ago by the President The
utilities are willing to have their
technical staffs join with the TWAS
technicians in making the necessary
studies.
2. Every effort will be made to
induce the utilities in the South
east to purchase all of the power
generated by the IVA, and use 1t
ism place of power now generated
by the utilities steam plants. This
power would be resold unded the
regulations of the Federal Power
Commission or any other Federal
agency.
8. Should the government wish
to purchase the generating, trans
mission and distributing facilities
of the utilities in the Southeast, the
ptiyities will aid the IVA in arriv-
ing at a fair basis Of dealing.
4. The utilities will, if desired,
interchange power with the IVA,
on the understanding that IVA will.
not then compete with the private
companies in areas in which such
power is distributed.
These proposals appear fair in
providing protection for the in
vestment of the government in
power facilities as well as for the
investments of private citizens in
| private utilities. They would elimi-
nate wasteful duplication and COM
petition which will cost the people
Of the United States hundreds Of
millions if the past IVA policy is
pursued in the future. They would
go a long way toward slowing a
question which grows steadily
more important.
Only time will tell whether advo-
Gates of death to private utilities
will triumph over the advocates Of
fair and reasonable arbitration of
differences. The outcome will es-
tablish a precedent of the utmost
moment to all business. If govern
ment can use its authority and ad-
vantages to swallow the electric
industry, it can likewise absorb any
other industry.
Today the issue is clear. Is the
morale Of our government to re-
main on a high standard of justice
and fair dealing, or is it to be re-
duced to ruthless, opportunist
basis?
