one of the instruments recon

The Latin-American ether has
been flooded with Nazi and Fascist
propaganda put out from German

but in recent months this has
been partly offset by broadcast:

which inaugurated special Serv

Perhaps the most potent factor
of all is the proposal for broader

Game of Skill

LONDON, Nov. 3O.-Stud
poker is illegal when played
for money, the Lord Chief
Justice of England and two
of his associates have de-
cided.
Lord HOwart exhumed
the Gaming Houses Act Of
1854 and cited a ruling given
many years ago by Justice
Hawkins, who had found
that unlawful games were
"ace of hearts, faro, baSSet,
hazard, passage, roulette and
every game of dice. except
Backgammon, and every
game of cards which is not
a game of mere skill"
"Whatever might be the
degree of skill an expert
enced player at stud poker
might acquire" observed
Lord HOwart, 1.-The game as
described in this case must
always remain a game of
chance, and in the language
of Justice Hawkins, with
reference to baccarat, it
would be a perversiOn Of
words to say that it was in
any sense a game of mere
skill"

from being successful.
In Paris virtually all taxis,
buses and trains functioned on
schedule at midday and Partisan
garbage trucks tardily FASTENED
to make their collections, which
had been neglected during the
morning.
A tour Of the "red belt" suburbs
Of Paris revealed that even
factories, where the strike at first
hit hardest, were able to resume
operations as the workers re-
turned to their jobs.
The region hardest hit by the
strike was ValencienneS. but even
there the strike was far from gen.
eral. At Amin industries were
working so per cent of normal,
and at Lyons 10 per cent of nor
NAL.
At ValencienneS, where a clash
occurred yesterday between work
erS and mobile guards. the govern
ment took special precautions to-
day. The 509th army tank corps
was held in readiness to maintain
order.
Government circles were highly
elated today over the failure Of
the strike to cripple the nations
normal life. They were extremely
wary, however, about the silence
Of the Communists. Fears were
expressed that the Communists,
rather than accept a crushing de-
feat, might attempt violent dem
onstrations with lightning sudden
ness during the next few days.
STERN MEASURES
Thoroughness of the strikes
failure was the direct result of
stern measures taken by Daladier,
who requiSitioned workers under
military supervision to operate
trains and other essential public
services.
In addition, Paris reinforced
police force took an active part
by arreSting large numbers of agi-
tatOrs early in the morning.
Interior Minister Sarraut an

this number, he said, 80 were de-
tanned for interfering with work

Sarraut declared:

port. The public services are
working. Only Is per cent of

BRITISH RUSH
REARMAMENT
AS PEACE AID
Chamberlain Meets Hot
Criticism in Commons
BY CHARLES A. SMITH


LONDON, Nov. 80 GNS0.
Britain's accelerated rearmament
program will prove in the long
run a contribution towards arms
limitation. Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain said in the House
of Commons today.
Amid a barrage of opposition
questions about Britain's relations
with the dictator-ruled countries,
Chamberlain stressed that the
possibility of a European arms
agreement would not deter this
country from building an air
force great enough for all defense
purposes.
EXPLAINS POLICY
Chamberlain told the House:
His majesty's government is
aiming at an agreement for the
limitation of ornaments as the
first stage toward their practical
abolition. We believe that the
steps being taken to strengthen
the royal air force will con-
tribute to this end.
This does not withdraw pre-
vious declaration that it is the
governments policy to build up
an air force adequate to insure
the protection of Britain, pre-
serve our trade routes, defend
our overseas territories, and full
fill our obligations to defend the
territories Of our allies in the
event of war"
SCORE ITALIAN TRIP
The "appeasement" trip which
Chamberlain is planning to make
to Italy came in for hot attacks.
Laborite Frederick Bellenger
asked assurances that in Rome
substantial British in erests
would not be bartered in exchange
for appeasement."
Postponement Of the trip until
italian intervention in Spain has
ceased, or until Premier MusSolini
has shown a more visible sign of
participating in appeaSement"
was asked by Clement R. Attlee,
laborite leader.

Today a Frenchman has to pay
more for his cigaretS, his phone
calls, his subway ride, his stamps,
his tobacco, and many other COM
modities that bear upon his every
day existence. General income tax
has been boosted 80 per cent.
1t is the announced aim of the
government to step up production
80 to 40 per cent. Since the hir-
ing of all unemployed would raise
this only Z per cent, it will be
necessary for overtime work in all
industries.
Public works projects are being
dropped. In explaining this dis
continuance, Paul Reynaud, min
lister of finance, pointed out to the
citizenry:
Our position in regards to
public works is very simple. A
country which next year is 60
ing to spend Is billions for ma
tional defense cannot afford
the luxury of great public works.

sary to today, alas, than stone
