ence with the independence and in

such declaration?
Aid Would Be Automatic,
From consideration of these two
alternatives it clearly emerges that
under either decision as to whether
or not this country should find itself
involved in war would automatically
be removed from the discretion OF
his majesty's government and the
suggested guarantee would apply ir-
respective of circumstances by which
it would be brought into operation and
over which his majesty's government
might not have been able to exercise
any control"
This position is not one in which
his majesty's government could see
their way to accept in relation to an
area where vital interests are not con-
cerned in the same degree as they are
in the case of France and Belgium"
the Prime Minister declared amid
cheers
1T certainly is not a position that
results from the Covenant (of the
League of Nations). For these rea-
sons his majesty's government feel
themselves unable to give the prior
guarantee suggested"

squirting rearmament. An official
statement said Sir Thomas asked their

Before today's enunciation of policy,
Mr.. Chamberlain appealed for union

tial contribution toward the esta ablish-

anxiously-awaited statement of foreign
policy, spoke to a packed house

Ambassador. sat in the diplomatic
gallery for the first time, with diplo-
mats representing every important
world power except Germany and
Italy. Diplomats of Russia, Czecho-
slovakia, China. France and Belgium
followed the address.
The prime minister continued:
I do not deny that my original
belief in the League (of Nations) as an
effective instrument for preserving
peace has been profoundly shaken.
That arises from the present condi-
ton of the League itself, due to re-
cent events"
The prime minister said, however,
he had not ceased to believe that
the League might be so revivified and
strengthened as to serve as an effec-
tive instrument for the preservation
Of peace
Referring to sanctions against Italy's
conquest of Ethiopia the prime min
lister said:
I'm June, 1886, If We retain any
vestige of common sense, we must
admit we tried to impose upon the
League task which was beyond its
poWers.'
Cheered fo,. Ounf;pu Edon
The prime minister was cheered
when he quoted Anthony Eden, who
resigned as foreign minister when he
split with Mr.. Chamberlain over the
foreign policy outlined in this state
ment-to this effect:
Nationals cannot be expected to
incur automatic military obligations
save for areas where their vital inter-
ests are concerned" This constituted
his expected announcement that Brit
ain would not declare war automati-
cally If Germany invaded Czechoslo-
vakia.
Although the ability of the League
to fulfill its functions have been re-
duced," Mr.. Chamberlain continued,
"this is not to be interpreted as mean
ing that the British government would
in no circumstances intervene as a
member of the League for restoration
Of peace or maintaining of order if the
circumstances made it appropriate to
do So"
This was interpreted as a warning
to Germany to tread slowly toward
C1echoslovakia.
Gives Reason for Attitude.
Mr.. Chamberlain then cited reasons
"why the British government feel un-
able to give prior guarantee" to
Csechoslovakia.

NEY COLLECIANS TOFACE FARMERS

With the strong New Milford Farmers as their opponents of the evening the North End "" Colle- gianS will endeavor to put the fin- ishing touches on this weeks cam paign with a victory. Earlier in the week, they took a tough defeat from the Bridgeport Middle Street Boys Club varsity at Bridgeport and last night they defeated the New Brit ain Irish-Americans in New Brit ain, 52-22.
 The Collegians will be at full strength for tonight'S tussle. Bob Leece, whose inability to play full game at Bridgeport cost the North Enders dear, was left at home last night and will probably be able to go the full forty minutes tonight, if necessary. Ricky Ricciuti and Lou Chestone will play the backcourt positions, and Ken Kelly will team with Herb Leece at the forward posts.
 The Farmers come here with the distinction of being one of the few clubs in the state to defeat the West Side Speedboys, this feat being ac- complished on the Speecboys' own floor early in the season. The Speedboys squared the series at New Milford later. They have a strong club and will press the Collegians to the limit.
 At New Britain, Ricky Ricciuti with twelve points led the scoring attack while Lou Chestone, Ken Kelly, each with ten points, and Herb Leece with nine all aided in the victory.
