l
LONDON, Oct. (N.AN.A)-
Whatever views his fellow subjects
may hold about the rights and wrongs
Of Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain's foreign policy there is only one
opinion in this country about his
physical toughness.
Here Is a man in his SEVENTEEN
year who, since May, 1887, has been
bearing a crushing responsibility in
the premiership of this country and
who. before succeeding Lord Baldwin
had been for six years chancellor
OF the exchequer, one Of the most
wearing posts in the British cabinet.
In the last few weeks, Mr.. Cham
berlain, in addition to the ordinary
cares usually attached to his high
office, has been working on lines
unparalleled hitherto for gravity and
agonizing nervous strain.
1t was the first time in his life that
he ever entered plane when he flew
to Berchtesgaden to see Chancellor
Adolf Hitler.
Rumors of WEAKNESS Discounted.
I don't think there was much to
the, rumors which were once heard,
but have now subsidized, that Mr.. Cham
berlain was SO wearied by his con-
slant travelling and endless confer
ences at home and abroad that he
was less capable of offering resistance
to Hitler than otherwise would have
benn the case. Mr.. Chamberlain
was careful not to come to any definite
submitting the details to his own
cabinet colleagues, and. in the final
historic meeting with Hitler, Premier
Daladier of France and Premier Mus
solini of Italy at Munich, it is certain
that, even if Mr.. Chamberlain had
been feeling worn out, Mr.. Daladier
was physically perfect.
For at least a fortnight Mr.. Cham
berlain must have averaged little
more than four hours sleep nightly,
because he not only had to undertake
the long trips to Germany and back,
but in both Germany and London he
had to sit down Immediately after
his arrival and discuss the gravest
matters for hours. Especially the Ger
man strain must have been terrible
when one remembers that this elderly
man, after covering hundreds of
miles, was debating with opponents
who were in no wise fatigued either
by travel or debate. Yet Mr.. Cham
berlain appeared astonishingly fresh
both on the balcony OF Buckingham
Palace, where he and his wife stood
between King George and Queen
Elizabeth on Friday night, and after
ward at the window Of 10 Downing
street, his official residence, when
again. with his wife by his side, he
waved to crowds and bade them go
home to their beds and sleep.
Suffers From Gout.
This is all the more remarkable
since Mr.. Chamberlain has been, for
a long time past, martyr to gout in
the right foot. When Parliament rose
for the summer recess Mr.. Cham
berlain went to Scotland to indulge
in his beloved fishing. but after a
short while he was obliged to return to
London owing to an attack of gout

mate designs regarding Spain, that
war-so lightly taken up by Fascismo
at the outset-has long since become
unpopular with the Italian people in
dragging on without results for more
than two years at large italian sacri-
flee in killed, wounded and money and
with large danger Of new complications
for Italy.
But mere withdrawal Of Italian
volunteers" will not end the useful
ness OF the Spanish imbroglio to Mus
solini as pressure upon England and
France.
Reservists Sent to Sardinia.
Indeed, the fact that two classes Of
Italian reservists were modified as
the Czech crisis came to its head, that
some Of these men were sent to Sar-
DINA, which is on the sea road to
Spain, and that it is understood that
the two classes will not be demobilized
until October 10, were in themselves
pressure on Britain and France, after
the Munich meeting, to come quickly
to terms with II Duce.
For although Czechoslovakia was
out Of the way, every one wondered
what Mussolini might do about Spain;
he had and has troops in position,
which raises the question whether
he meant to send them there. Accord
ing to one theory in Rome-after the
world war was sidetracked-he did
not intend to send the troops to Spain,
but kept them lined up as pressure
suggestion.
If Italian volunteers" now in Spain
are withdrawn, Rome can explain this
by saying that the danger Of Com
munism" is no longer viewed as press
ing. But the Spanish civil war prob
ably would long continue. Britain and
France would have to continue worry
ing about the war-and the possibility
of revived lillian participation on a
large scale. Thus the governments of
London and Paris, already having
proved themselves masters in giving
rewards for peace" would be under
long continued pressure to deal gen.
erously with Rome lest Rome decide
that Communism" in Spain again de-
manded an Italian holy war.

Premier's Physical Toughness
Is Esteemed Highly by Britain
Chamberlain Has Held Up Yell Under
Heavy Strain of Negotiations on
Czech Settlement.

as well as catarrh, whiih forced him
to remain in close touch with his
doctor.
Some months previously he had
again undergone treatment for gout
1t was almost miraculous that the
Prime Minister remained immune
from gout during the political crisis
since 1t is well-known fact that
worry and acute nervous strain are
two OF the most aggravating factors
Of gout. and such attacks bring not
only physical disability but such Sc
we're pain that concentration is diff
cult If not impossible.
1t may be said the Premiers re-
sistance to fatigue and his general
well-being is due largely to the loving
care Of his wife, who never leaves
him by hands breadth except at
cabinet meetings and watches over
him and regulates his life. It is the
daily practice of Mr.. and Mrs. Cham
berlain to emerge in the forenoon
from No. 10 Downing street and walk
down the steps into st. James Park
for brisk constitutional. Both
Chamberlains love the park, which
is one OF the most attractive open
spaces in London, with lake crowded
with waterfowl, while groves Of trees
form a regular bird sanctuary.
Deep Love for Birds.
Mr.. Chamberlain, like former Prime
Minister Lord Grey and former Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt, has profound
love for and knowledge Of bird life
and not infrequently letters appear
in the London Times signed Neville
Chamberlain, saying he had seen some
rare bird during his morning walk.
When outside London, fishing is
the Premier's great hobby. He casts
an admirable fly and works the waters
with infinite patience. He has also
the flsherman's true instinct for fan
tastic clothes when fishing. His fish,
ing hats and coats are a delight and
a godsend to the cartoonists.
Otherwise the Premier and his wife
lead quiet life. Mr.. Chamberlain
likes glass of wine, but the English
mans favorite, after dinner port. is
denied him because Of gout. The
Chamberlains love Chequers, the Pre-
miers Official country home in Buck
inghamshire, and there, on an autumn
evening, with the curtains drawn and
the lamps lit, Mrs. Chamberlain plays
bach while the Premier, with his right
foot on a footstool, smokes a cigar, Of
which he is greatly fond, and watches
the cares of state go up in blue smoke.

FRANCE BATTLES
ISOLATION TREND
Hastens to Nominate Envoy
to Italy, Recognizing
African Conquest.

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent
ROME, Oct. (By Radio).-Rome
today is buzzing with diplomatic ac-
tivity, all based on post st-Munich real
politik"
In deciding hastily to nominate an
ambassador to the King of Italy and
Emperor Of Ethiopia, France, as seen
by observers here, is moving to check
the progress Of her new isolation as
Neville Chamberlain, British Prime
Minister, rushes to get settlement"
with Premier Benito Mussolini on the
heels of his settlement" with Richs-
fuehrer Adolf Hitler.
In recognition Of the Italian con-
quest OF Ethiopia-for that is what
accrediting an ambassador to the King
and Emperor will mean-France ap-
pears likely to get under the wire just
ahead Of Great Britain.
Ground Being Laid for Pact.
In conferences between British Am
bassador Lord Perth and Italian For
eign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano-
including a new parley this morning
ground is rapidly being laid for put
ting the long dormant Anglo-Italian
pact into effect, including recognition
Of the Italian Empire by England.
The Perth-Ciano parleys, it is indi-
Gated, will continue this week.
According to Mr.. Chamberlain's
stipulation when the pact was signed
last April, settlement" of the Italo-
Spanish question had to precede its
going into effect. Now, according to
impressive diplomatic grapevine in
formation. Mussolini is practically
ready to withdraw his volunteer" di-
visions and sky bombers from Spain
and thus give Mr.. Chamberlain his

other question.

WORLD CAMPAIGN
OF REDS SPURRED
Communists Expected to
Press Drive Especially
in France.
BY the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, Oct. 5.-A prediction o1
sharp revival of Communist interna.
tional activity, especially in France
was made today by some foreign OBJ
servers, following cooling OF Soviet
French relations.
The semi-official newspaper lie
Journal de Moscow, often the mirror
Of foreign views, said emphatically
that, as a result Of the four-power
Munich agreement France had lost
all her European allies but England
and demanded who can rely on
England?"
Isolation Cost to France.
Isolation is the price France will
pay for Munich, where she received
not even scrap Of paper but only
an oral promise from Adolf Hitler"
the paper asserted.
1t added: After the capitulation Of
Munich (where France. Italy and
Great Britain reached an accord Sep
tember 80 granting Chancellor Hitler
Sudeten German areas of Czechoslo-
vakia, a French ally) who will believe
again the word Of France? Who will
remain her ally?
"Rumania or YugoSlavia (with
Czechoslovakia, French allies in the
Little Entente) will not hesitate any
longer to swing over to the side OF
German Fascism.
And as for Poland-Poland GER
tainly Is lost to France"
The journal did not state specifically
that Moscow intended to cancel the
French-Soviet pact of May, 1885, but
asked, What is it worth now that
France has torn up its treaty of alli-
ance with Czechoslovakia?"
French Answer to Reich Arming.
The French-Soviet treaty provided
for assistance in case of attack on
either party by a third power 1t was
regarded widely as Frances answer to
the threat of German rearmament
under Hitler, but because of the acutely
anti-Soviet policy of the Nazi regime
the pact also became an obstacle to
French-German rapprochement
With the pact seemingly relegated
to the scrap heap. the question was,
What will Moscow do?"
Opinions among qualified foreign
observers were not unanimous, but
some believed one result would be an
intensif1cation of Communist activity.
