theless responded to the partial mobilization orders preceding the agreement with great calm and determination.
 Ministers Are Attacked
 The dissenters, however, continued to wage their bitter campaign against the government. Four or five cabinet ministers, including Reynaud and Georges Mandel, who had been stigmatized as the leaders of the War Party, were exempted from the charges leveled against the premier and his foreign min- isters.
 The opposition's criticism was based on these considerations France had betrayed an ally; it had sacrificed it's greatest fortress lying in Germany's flank; the Munich Agreement had merely postponed the inevitable conflict, which would be infinitely more costly when it did occur; the Munich pact had destroyed Frances continental system, laboriously con- structed since the World War to preserve its supremacy; the Munich pact would inevitably weaken the Anglo French entente, and France will be obliged to accept a minor partnership in the revived four power pact among Britain, Ger many, France and Italy.
 The Munich Agreement was en- dorsed at the annual Radical So- cialist party convention at Mar seilles, which also saw Daladier break with the Communist party in a bitter speech denouncing their campaign against the gov ernment's foreign policy. The break with the Communists vir- tually killed all effective political cooperation between the parties constituting the Popular Front.
 Fears Over Spain
 The governments severe critics feared that Chamberlain and Lord Halifax, during their Novem- Der visit to Paris, would oblige the premier and his foreign min- ister to grant belligerent rights to Generalissimo Francisco Franco. These fears were not realized, but some weeks before the visit the British government placed the Anglo-Italian agreement into op- eration despite earlier promises that the treaty's enforcement would be held up until the Italians had withdrawn completely from the Spanish peninsula.
 Then early in December an up- roar over Tunisia was created when deputies in the Italian chamber shouted "Tunisia". The cry was taken up by the gallery and demands for Corsica and Nice were added to the territorial ex- pansion movement. Following this incident riots occurred in Tunis and France rushed Mobile Guards to the hotbed of Italo-French unrest.
 Italy for years had looked longingly toward Tunisia, with its rich minerals and fertile soil France had held a protectorate over the area since 1881, although it was not recognized by Italy un- til 1896.

pected that Italy some day would voice demand for Tunisia. A little Maginot line" was built along the frontier that separates Tunisia and the Italian colony of Lybia.
 Domestically, the events of 1888 closed with the social conflict cen- tering around Reynaud's financial and economic recovery program. The new finance minister's de- crees eliminating the five-day week for a period of three years, his new indirect and direct taxes stimulated the smouldernig un- rest among labor ranks. This un- rest eliminated in the general strike fiasco which resulted in a staggering blow to the power of the trade unions, the Socialist and Communist parties. The Popular Front virtually ceased to exist. The Socialists and Communists were driven into the opposition.

"You mustn't say thatT" Now Sally did kneel down by his bed, @ swift, impulsive movement. She caught one of his hands in hers, clung to it. "Of course you'll ski againI Doctor Hartford has prom ised that you will Not right away, of course. Not for years, perhaps ]"
 "YearsI" Dan said. And his voice sounded strong, but only be- cause of the bitterness it con- tained, the awful despair. He even managed 8 little laugh, Years That will be too late" he said.
 "You mustn't say that" Sally said again. But she knew that he was right. The years could slip by so quickly. There would be other boys to win points for their college, to carry of honorS of the meet. Others to become cham pions, be hailed for the Olympics.
 The nurse stood in the doorway. Sally's time was up. She raised Dams hand to let it rest a moment against her cheek, reluctantly let it go. "Goodby, Dan." For a little while, her heart said. It could not be forever; she could not have endured it, if it had. You'll see some day-that I'm right" You'll believe in me. I'll make it up to you, she wanted to add. But she knew there was no use in saying such things yet. Maybe the years would take care of that, too. And good luck" she added softly.
 You're going?" Dan asked. His gray eyes looked at her. She was so lovely, so youthfully sweet. He turned his head away, as though he could not look at her any longer. "Goodby, Sally Blair," he said. "1t's been nice = knowing you" A smile trembled on his lips. That was the way to say goodby, lightly, gaily, gallantly = as Corey, or the boys of Sally's glamorous bright world would have.
 But it was not Sally's way now. She bent swiftly, before she turned to leave, kissed Dan Reyn- olds goodby, her fresh soft lips brushing slightly, let lingeringly, against his.

CHAPTER VII

Sally recovered from the shock of her tumble much more quickly than Doctor Barnes had anticipated. He did not know that her speedy re- covery was due to her determina- tion that she must get better so that she could see Dan.
 She would not go away with out seeing with her own bright eyes how Dan was, without hear ing him sey that he had forgiven her. Sally's fainter had talked with Doctor Barnes about the boy. They had agreed upon a conSulta- tion with famous surgeon from Boston. Nothing was to be spared for the lad who had done so much for Sally, Sam Blair maintained.
 Upon Sally's insistence, Dams benefactor's name was kept se- cret. She was afraid he would refuse any assistance - even to see the surgeon from Boston - if he knew who had offered to send for him. Sally knew Dan Reynolds stubborn pride. He was to be told that some unknown person, a gentleman who had taken an in- terest in him because of his skiing

STRAND

Two grand flrst-rrm features await the theater-going public at the Warner Bros. Strand theater today and tomorrow. Comprising this giant program are Arrest Bull dog Drummond" and the western thriller '"The Law West of the Tombstone"
 At the head of the cast of "Ar- rest Bulldog Drummond," the head liner, is John Howard who plays the famed amateur sleuth with as much ease as if he had been born in the role. This marks the fifth time he has been cast in this role.
 The story, another from the pen of the well-liked H. c. (Sapper) McNeile, concerns the theft, by international agents, of an amaz- ing new war machine-a "deton- ator" that sets of explosives in the hands of the enemy-and the cold-blooded murder of its half crazed inventor. Because the vic- tim is one of Towards closest friends, the amateur sleuth calls off his often-postponed wedding to Miss Angel and sets out to track down the gang by means of few ecanty clews.
 In the many exciting sequences which follow he is assisted by tal- ented cast which included Heather Angel, as the sweetheart who some how never becomes a wife; H. B. Warner, as the long-suffering 'In- spector Nelson of Scotland Yards; Reginald Denny, as the nitwitted "Algy";; and of course E. E. Give, as the inpeccable "Tenny".
 "The Law West Of the Tomb stone" the second big hit, is a smashing western thriller starring Harry Carey, who as Bonanza Bill brings justice to the badlands with a faithful horse, a well-worn gun and 6 borrowed book. Tim Holt, Evelyn Brent and others are includ- ed in the supporting cast.
 Get ready for the big twin feature bill coming to the Strand on Mon day. The headliner will be "The Arkansas Traveller with Bob Burns and Fay Bainter; also Girls School" with Nan Grey and Anne Shirley at the head of the cast.

 So 1t happens today that Cam ada leads the world in the car- rying of freight and express by air. hauling into the northland some six times as much in a year as all United States domes- tic and foreign routes.

 Thus the whole future devel- opment of the dominion is linked with it's planes and pilots, for the Canada still to be developed lies in the frozen fastnesses. inaccessi- ble to train and ship.
 Down from the north come daily huge cargo planes, carrying out concentrate or ~bullion from the dominion's new mines, taking back supplies, and flying emer- gency trips in event of accidents. At the same time vast amount of aerial survey work is carried on, mapping new roads through virgin country. new harbor plans. new townsites.
 Long since planes have been used widely for forestry work. to detect fires, to check timber lim- its, and record cutting operations. Shown here on a current Cana dian, air mail stamp is one of the dominion's northland ships flying to make contact with the nearest steamer point.

Fourth Storm II, -Four Months
Threat to Government Ouer Sandys
EuapOrates in Combination of
Compromise and StaIling.

Parliament retires for the summer, Mr..
Chamberlain's position now appears
temporarily safe. Although the Span
ish situation is constant source of
danger the temporary cessation of
bombings has eased British public
opinion. The fact that the Non-In-
tervention Committee has now prac-
tically completed its plan for the
withdrawal Of foreign troops from
Spain also helps the government by
showing that it is at least doing some
thing. even though that something
may not be very much.
1t is still hoped that the Spanish
war may somehow end before Parlia-
ment reconvenes and that this, to-
gether with some cabinet shifts during
the parliamentary recess, may
strengthen Mr. Chamberlain's position
in preparation for the coming season
It is no secret to any one that it will
need reinforcement before the Con-
servattves go to the country in q
general election.

Reports Business Prospects

The American Federation Of Labor

At the same time, 1t called on Or
ganized labor to continue resistance
against wage reductions, saying:
There Is still the possibility that
some industry employing large num-
Der Of workers might cut wages and
start of series Of wage cuts through

have so strong deflationary effect as
to offset the beginnings of improve

"The G. I. .. stands with President

Recent Upturns Cited.
In its monthly business survey the
A. F. Of L. reported that the wage
level lifted by good business conditions
IN the early months Of 1887, had been
firmly held during the 1888 decline, ex-
cept in a few instances Of actual
distress or among those few employers
who pretend distress so as to impose
unjustifiable wage reductions"
The Federation cited recent bust.
ness upturns. but said it was too early
to tell whether the outlook was for
permanent or temporary improvement.
THE deep pessimism which mas
overcast business thinking for the past
few months seems to be giving way to
more hopeful and buoyant spirits" it
continued.
THE situation Is still critical and
1t will probably be some time before
the Government spending program
lifts industry to definitely higher lev
els. Union resistance to wage cuts is
especially important; union irsistance
on wage increases wherever industry
can pay them is equally vital. This is
a time for union cooperation to save

Idle Put At 11,414,000.
The A. F. OF L. estimated 11.414, 900
