TwO Courses Open

THE TEMPERATE TRIO seems
l. to be leaning toward an un-
announced conclusion which is
gaining adherentS here, namely:
A democratic system does not
function with diSharmony be-
tween Government and business.
Government, if its purposes be
democratic, is hurting its own
long-run game by kicking busi-
ness around. Furthermore such
a policy does not follow the an
nounced Government purpose OF
continuing business and industry
on a private basis.
Two obvious courses are open.
If the democratic capitalist sys-
tenn is to work successfully, Gov
ernment will have to assume a
benevolent attitude toward busi-
ness, even to the extent of cod
ding it and petting it-and vice
versa. The unemployed cannot
be put to work any other demo
cratic way. At very least a set
of rules must be worked out
under which both business and
Government may work in peace
and comfort.
Only sincere alternat e
method of making business
work is for the Government to
take it over and run it, as
fascism, communism or social
ism, or anything you want to
call it. Halfway measures
may merely keep anything from
working.

Germans Minimize
Tiff With EnqIond

BERLIN. Dec IA [P.-Prime Min
lister Chanberlain's foreign policy
address left German foreign office
oncials surprised today but conf
dent that it would not upset the ap-
peasement course of Mr.. Chamber
lain and Chancellor Hitler.
One of the ups and downs in
politics" and not endangering Ger
man-British friendship, was the
first, If incomplete, reaction among
German onicialdom to Mr.. Cham
berlain's speech.
Heads of foreign ONCE depart
ments met speedily, however, to
make further analysis.
The few morning papers to COM
ment were more critical but did not
mention that the German Ambas-
sador and German press represent
atives did not attend the London
Foreign Press Association dinner at
which Chamberlain spoke.
A foreign Office spokesman said
1--WE are frankly astonished. We
have always regarded Chamberlain
as man of practical politics who
has been working for rapproche-
ment and appeasement.
1T isn't quite clear what led
him suddenly to go into the realm
OF philosophy and start an argu-
ment.
1T is true that there have been
some unfriendly words about Bald
win CORNER British Premier) and
others here, but we don't pick quar-
rels-we merely hit back If we are
struck at.
However, there are ups and
downs in politics and the Chamber
lain incident is not to be taken too
seriously. Certainly it doesn't dis
turb the general line Of appeasement
along which both the British Prime
Minister and our Fuehrer are en-
barked."

of Earl Baldwin's fund for refugees
In a statement the committee said
1t had no intention of discussing
with him reported plan for trans
ferring funds it collected to Ger
many to facilitate the emigration OF
German Jews.
Mr.. Chamberlain lodged several
supplementary questions pertaining
to French-British relations and Ital-
ian agitation that began November
30 concerning French territory.
He refused to answer question by
Godfrey L. Mander. national lib
eral member, If Britain and France,
during recent general staff CONVEX
sations, had made necessary ar
rangements for joint defense"
He also declined to reply to Mr.
Mander's question: rs it not i'm
portant that France should know
whether this country is willing to
stand by her?"
On Monday Mr.. Chamberlain told
the House no specific pact obligated
Britain to aid France if Italy at
tackled her. Last night, however, he
said: Our relations with France
are so close as to pass beyond mere
legal obligations since they are
founded on an identity of interest" F"
There were cheers and interrupt
tions during Mr. Mander's questions
Censure Move Planned.
The Labor party decided to bring
a motion of censure during a for
eign affairs debate next Monday.
1t will move that this House has
no confidence in the foreign policy
of his majesty's government"
Previously the labor party drafted
a question to the house for explana-
ton today of the absence of the
German Ambassador and NaN press
representatives from the dinner at
which Mr.. Chamberlain spoke last
night.
This likely will be followed by
lengthy review of British German
relations during full dress foreign
affairs debate on Monday, before
the Christmas recess.
Sign Of Nazi Displeasure.
Political quarters saw in the alb
sence of the Germans a sign Of
official Nazi displeasure with the
British Prime Minister, since they
presumably acted on orders from
Berlin.
The Germans declined invita- tions
to the important dinner, attended
by Ambassadors of Belgium, Brazil,
France. Poland, the Soviet Union
and Italy, after reading advance
copies Of Mr.. Chamberlain's speech.
The declinations came so late that
time did not permit Encouragement

MemeI 'AnsthIuss'.
With Reich Likely
By End Of January
Issue Is Expected to Be
Precip;toted by Vote
Of New Diet
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Dec. 14.-Berlin diplo-
matte quarters expressed the belief
today that annexation Of Memel
territory by Adolf Hitlers greater
Germany is but matter Of weeks.
Events were believed moving at
such q fast pace that Hitler might
be able to call the Reichstag to-
gether January 30-the sixth ami
versary Of his rise to power-to well
come 100000 Memel Germans into
the fatherland.
Diplomatic quarters felt that con-
ditions had ripened within the
1,099 square miles of territory which
Lithuania took from Germany after
the World War for a decisive step
late in January, when the newly
chosen Memel Diet (Parliament)
meets.
1t was believed that the almost
unanimous German Diet-elected
avowal to Germandom-would pre-
cipitate the issue by voting that
Memel belongs to Germany.
In that fashion Hitler would be
invited to step in, these quarters
reasoned, on the basis that it was
the will OF the people Of Memel.
The Fuehrer has troops handy in
the strongly manned garrisons of
Tilsit and Koenigsberg. in adjoin-
ing East Prussia, to take advantage
Of the invitation.
Such procedure, 1t was pointed
out, would not be out OF line with
Hitlers declaration after the an
nexation of Sudetenland that the
Nazis had no further territorial
claims in Europe.
The situation would be one in
which Memel Nazis would plead with
Hitler to come to them-a plea which
he could hardly ignore If he re-
manned true to his chosen role of
protector of all Germans" That is
what happened in Austria as well as
Sudetenland, and it worked to per-
fection in both cases.
London, Paris Watchful.
Calls at the German foreign office
by British and French diplomats the
day following the Memel election,
moreover, indicated London and
Paris were watching closely the rapid
developing Memel question.
A mass exodus of Jews from
Memelland-as though they had
read the handwriting on the wall
also claimed the attention of the
Nazi press, particularly through
clippings to that effect from foreign
newspapers.
