LONDON. Feb. 10 dN.s).
Hard pressed by France to move
against Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hit
ler's increasing dominance over
Central Europe. the British cab
met met in extraordinary session
at 10 Downing st. today.
Anthony Eden, the dekonair
and top-hatted foreign secretary,
who staunch1y opposes British &C
quiescence in TIitler's action, was
enthusiastically cheered as he
mounted the steps of Prime Min
lister Neville Chamberlain's Off
cial residence.
JOINT ACTION DEMANDED
AS the cabinet assembled, it
was learned the French govern
ment had presented Britain with
a virtual demand for joint action
to check Hitler in the form Of a
formal declaration Britain and
France will not tolerate further
German expansion by threat OF
force, as allegedly used against
Austria. ..
Prior to the meeting, the ma
jority of cabinet members ap-
peared favorably disposed toward
considering strong representa-
tions to Germany for the methods
used in the case Of Austria, but
were reluctant to commit Britain
to any definite action.
In particular, the ministers op-
posed anything of a military ma
ture in future hypothetical cases,
such as German pressure on
Czechoslovakia, generally regard
ed as Hitler's next step" in
Surthering the Nazi cause.
Among the important business
before the cabinet is the desire Of
Chamberlain to get fun approval
of the plan preached yesterday to
italian Ambassador Count Dino
Grand, calling for prompt negotia-
tions toward an Anglo-Fr
Italo-G German pact Of appeaSement.
One of the chief reasons for the
haste was the fact that tomorrow
Hitler will stand before his Reich
stag and address the world regard
ing his plans.
SEVEN-PONT PROGRAM
Fears that Hitler may announce
even faster action in Austria and
forthcoming decisive action in
Czechoslovakia induced the Brit
ish to propose:
/. A ten-year non-aggression
pact between Britain, France,
Germany and Italy.
2. Recognition of Italy's con-
quest of Ethiopia.
8. Moves toward negotiation
of a Spanish arnistice. -
4. A new Anglo-Italian trade
pact.
S. An Anglo-Italian Mediter-
ranean security pact.
6. Progressive return of Ger

that I'm going to disapprove."
"You probably WILL" she smiled.
"You see, you told me you could
never belong to my world Of ex-
travagance and frivolity. And I'm
tired Of it myself. So I'm going to
belong to yours"
He looked at her, his dark brows
drawn up questioningly.
I'm going to get a job" Noel
went on. I'm going to find out
about the kind Of world you live
in. I'm going to learn things about
life and living, things couldn't
learn any other way"
He shook his head. "Even Il
it's only lark or sudden wl1im,
Noel, I think the idea is absurd"
She gave him a sweet, willful
smile. Then they rose and left the
cafe. Out on the sidewalk, Julian
looked at her, his face a little
stern. you're too attractive,
Noel, and too inexperienced. I'd
much prefer that you give up this
rather reckless idea amigo on
with your aunt"
She shook her head. "Too late to
change now. I've burned my
bridges" Just how late it was
for her to give up her plans, she
did not intend for him to know.
But when she had turned over all
her money to her uncle, the die had
been cast. She couldn't turn back,
if she wanted to. It would be q
year before she'd have money
again.
you're very stubborn, Noel"
Julian began. I'm afraid the trou-
BILE is that you were not spanked
enough when you were young" he
finished with a tender, unwilling
smile.
Perhaps not" she agreed with
a little flush.
Julian was ready to cross the
street now. He turned back for
a minute. IF you do insist ON
carrying out this whifn, you must
promise to keep in close touch with
me. So I'll know your impetuosity
is not getting you into trouble" !.
"Ill promise that" Noel smiled.

you'll find it very dull here, I'm
afraid" he said at last.
ooh, no, shan't," Noel said
quickly. But her underlip was
trembling slightly. She was think
ing again of the pretty dark girl,
who already had such a start over
herself when it came to winning
Julian's interest. Perhaps his
love. Or at least they had seemed
to be quite old friends. Perhaps
they went to lunch together every
day. So she began a little tinaidly,
''That pretty girl who was with
you-is she-I mean, are you"
but she couldn't finish. After all,
it was a silly question to ask. But
she wanted to know SO very much.
Julian's eyes met hers frankly.
That's Ruth Chester, a nurse.
She's studying bacteriology in the
clinic next to my Office. We're
naturally interested along the
same lines, and so we're quite good
friends"
Noel's questioning gaze did not
leave his face. And she received
his words with reservations. Love
was so important and she knew
it often intruded into places where
it was the least expected.
"Of course, if we had any at.
traction for each other beyond
that of friendship" Julian went on
unexpectedly, lit would be very
suitable. But unfortunately, it
looks as if the unsuitable people
are always falling in love with
each other"
Perhaps that's the way nature
meant for love to be-" Noel said.
Julian's frankness had made her
feel better. But she was certain
as long as Ruth Chester worked by
Julian's side, she'd always be jeal-
GUS of her.
Julian was looking at her now
with a smile that was both grave
and tender. You're SO lovely,
Noel. You could turn any mans
thoughts away from his career, or
any other woman. If there should
be another"
"But you're still determined not
to fall in love with me?" she
asked archly, a wave of happiness
suddenly flooding her heart.

she had done that already.
