Well, they've talked about split in the Demo- cratic party for long that take pleasure in recording this
 Bender, of Ohio, has just denounced the election of former Senator Hastings of Delaware to the COP. National Executive Committee. Says MT. Bender: MT Hastings is reactonary and the most outstand- ing opponent of social legislation He cannot domn- ate the committee. His election should not be considered signying that the rank file of the Republican party is reactionary."
 We don't think the COP. rank and file is reac- tionary. We welcome MT Bender's candid statement. The Republican party of 1888 refuses to sit still while group tries to draw it's portrait in the image of Hoover.

 The diamond five was played from dummy, and when West play ed the ten, he was permitted to hold the trick. A diamond was returned and East went up wit. the ace and cleared the suit. West discarded small spade. Now when the club finesse lost, the value of being con- tent with one diamond trick was manifest.
 Had the diamond queen won the first trick, the losing club finesse would have cost declarer his con- tract.

Chamberlain. stresSing Blitain's S
desire for peace and warning that
in war "we know there are no
winners" asserted that Britain
would fight without hesitation if
her vital interests were infringcd.
He followed this by repeating
an appeal to the world to scale
down its frenZied armaments build
ing that is driving many nations
close to bankruptcy. But Britain,
he added, has no inclination to
take the lead and leave her far
flung empire exposed to attack.
Chamberlain's statement, in
many respects far from satisfac-
tory to his critics, admitted that
British faith in the League of Ma
tions and its effectiveness has been
badly shaken. But, unlike his re-
cent commons speech in which he
assailed the leagues "shams and
impotency" and virtually shelved
it as an instrument of peace, he
made friendly gesture last night
to league supporters.
The Geneva institution, he said,
yet might become "the most effec-
tive guarantee for world peace yet
devised"
He carefully balanced his ref
erences to German assurances re-
garding Czechoslovakian integrity
and the Czech governments meas
ures to give a broader measure of
power to the 3,500,000 dissatisfied
Sudeten Germans of Czechoslo-
vakia.
This balancing evidently was de-
signed to placate both France and
Germany as result of Frances re-
cent futile request that Britain
join in guaranteeing the Czechs
against aggression and the Ger
man demands for amelioration of
the position of the NaZi Sudeten
Germans.

point brought quick and angry de-
nunciation from such opposition
