Speech; Honor For

spect of World and

London, Oct. x26.-(AP) - David
Lloyd George broke his silence on the
peace OF Munich today to warn Prime
Minister Chamberlain that If would
end in a war without friends" for
Great Britain.
The white-haired wartime nra-
mier delivered his grim predictions
while the presentaprime minister and
his cabinet met FOR two and ! half
hours to review vital matters rang
ing from defense of home stores to
the colonial cost of Britain satisfying
Adolf Hitler. The cabinet announced
no decision.
In his first speech since the Munich
pact saved Enrope's peace at the price
OF Czechoslovakia's Acknowledgement.
Lloyd George declared the peace ewas
a bad peace. and a bad peace is no
peace at ALL"
Then he pronounced this judgment:
Il will tell you what we shall find
and | am thinking now as one who
has taken great part in the affairs
OF this country at the most critical
moment in the whole of it's history.
We shall have forfeited honor, we
shall have lost the respect of the
world, and, what is still worse, we
shall have lost our own self-respect.
And in the end there will be no peace.
There will be war and war without
friends
Lloyd George declared, that, in MAX
ing the Munich accord, 1--WE handed
over little democratic state in cen
trail Europe, wrapped in the Union
Jack and the trio-color, to a ruthless
dictator, who will deny freedom to
both Czech and Germans alike"

also are many Democrats upon whom
the New Deal looks askance. Upon
an average I always have considered
Democrats as somewhat more liberal
than Republicans. Nevertheless, quite
a few Democrats are at least as con-
sentative as the more liberal type of
Republicans. Such are the Democrats

Vast Spread.
In Tax Rates

DAILY nIsnafch IRurQnvr

Raleigh, Oct. 26.4The tremendous
spread in tax rates of North Caro-
lina's hundred counties is emphatical-
ly shown by the fact that a resident
of Cleveland county, whose Accent
rate is lowest in the State, pays less
than one-sixth the ad valorem levy
laid upon the citizen of. Clay where
taxables are assessed $3.50 on every
500 Of valuation.
Residents of 80 counties enjoy rates
of 81 or less, those in six are forced
to pay So or more, while the inter-
mediate 62 counties vary in rate from
$103 to $1.90.
The attractive look of many of the
low tax brackets, however, is some
what spoiled by the fact in many of
the larger counties most of the cit
liens are also subject to heavy city
taxes, and so residents of Forsyth,
Durham and other big cities do not
escape quite as easily as appears on
the surface.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Nov. 22.-(UP) Selection of jury was begun in superior court today to try G. Leroy Kemp, former Republican legislator and highway appraiser who was in- dicted by a grand jury on charges of allegedly splitting $86,000 in commissions obtained from the &C., quisition of $6,100,000 rights-of-way for. the Merritt Parkway.
 Kemp was one of eight persons against whom true bills were hand ed up by the jury last March in its investigation of the $25, ,000, ,000 Parkway land sales. The others will be tried at the conclusion of the current case.
 Four indictments were returned against Kemp, specifically accusing him of splitting commissions with Thomas N. Cooke, Greenwich, and Samuel L. Silberman, Stamford both real estate brokers and who also were arrested.
 A panel of 55 veniremen reported today before Judge Frank P. Nc Evoy. States Attorney Lorin w. Willis said he expected it might take the balance of the week to select the jury and that the trial probably would consume more than a month.

 Studying Trends
 The executive committee under the chairmanship of Levi Wilcox and the Y. M. c. A. staff of secre- taries have arranged so that Secre- tary Loh may have an inside look into the work of the Waterbury Y. M. c. A. The object of his visit, is that he may become acquainted with the major trends in the Amer ican Y. M. c. A. movement"
 Officers of the local Y. M. c. A. are proud of the fact that Water bury is again selected as one of the cities as representing the modern trends in Y. M. c. A. work. A year ago, Herbert Tonisoo, the national secretary of the Y. M. c. A. for Estonia, made 8 similar visit to Waterbury.
 Shanghai has one of the largest Y. M. c. As in the world. At one time it's boys division was the larg- est in the world. There are 115 Y. M. c. As in China, with mem bership of 42.038. They have 300 Y. M. c. A. secretaries, of which 286 are native Chinese secretaries, and IA are from the United States and Canada.
 Great Strain
 The Y. M. 0. A. in China is un- dergoining a great strain at the present time because of the war. It is aiding in the refugee work, is cooperating in the International Relief committee, and in war work with the Chinese troops. Because of its experience in training, and because of the large numbers of na- tive Chinese members, the Y. M. c. A. is a most important factor in war relief.
