U.s. Policy Unchanged By Europe's Diplomacy
EDEN, BRITISH FOE OF NAZI
AND FASCIST POLICIES OUT;
BRITO-ITALIAN DEALS BEGUN
Englands ldealst Statesman Refuses to Make Friends
With Rising Powers; Conservatives Seek Security
for the British Isles

LONDON, Feb. 21.-(UP)-
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain today intimated in the house
of commons that the British gov
eminent is considering the posi-
bility of recognizing the Italian
conquest of Ethiopia if it would
contribute to the general easing
of European tension.
Chamberlain addressed a crowd
ed house after Captain Anthony
Eden had explained why he split
with the prime minister and re-
signed as foreign secretary.
Eden said he felt that Italy and
Germany are violating interna-
tional agreements and that he
could not agree that a conference
on better Italo-British relations
was advisable at the present.
LONDON, Feb. q. (UP)-The
British government, having jetti-
soned Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden, today moved swiftly to-
ward agreement with Italy.
Within "a hours after Eden's
resignation, Prime Minister Ne
vile Chamberlain received Dino
Grand, Italian ambassador, and
was informed, according to an un-
improbable source, that Premier
Bcnito Mussolini had accepted
propositions that Chamberlain had
conveyed to Rome last Friday.
Terms of Mussolinis accept
ance are unrevealed but it was
believed he agreed to immediate
direct negotiations between Lon
don and Rome on the basis of
Chamberlain's plans to sidetrack
such questions as volunteers in
Spain and certain other issues in
order to achieve a speedy pact
which most likely would involve
British recognition of Italy's con-
quest of Ethiopia.

Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden, youthful diplomat who has
battlcd the ambitions of Europe's
dictators at every turn for two
years, resigned last night rather
than consent to Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain's plan for
reaching speedy British settle
mcnt with Italy and Germany.
Eden's resignation and that of
his chief under-secretary and
right-hand man in the foreign Of
flee, Viscount Cranborne, was
submitted to King George vi at
Buckingham palace this morning.
Chamberlain asserted, in a let
ter accepting the 40-year-old for
eign sccretary's resignation, that
the cabinet crisis was precipitated
because "you (Eden) find your
self unable to accept whether the
present moment is appropriate for
commencement of Anglo-ltalian
conversations"
Eden, in his letter to the prime
minister, said he was resigning
because 81 can not recommend to
parliament a policy with which |
am not in agreement"
The Daily Mail asserted at mid
night that Lord Halifax had &C.
cepted Chamberlain's offer of the
foreign secretaryship.
The resignation of Eden, who
stood up doggedly for days
against overwhelming cold guard
sentiment in the cabinet, was re

anxious to barter with Hitler anc
Mussolini for the sake of the Sc

YOUNG PIANIST
 IN DEBUT HERE
Stanley Freedman Gives Excellent Recital; Future
 Looms Promising

Stanley Freedman, seventeen year old local pianist, made his profess sion debut last night at the Water bury Women's sf Club auditorium, where an interested and enthusias- tic audience gave him a splendid reception. Young Freedman is a Crosby High school graduate and his playing denotes an understand ing of music and considerable skill in pianistic ability. His program, divided into four parts, was such that offered a broad scope for his technical and interpretive abilities.
 Among his selections last night were the Opus g, Schumann Carni- val, in which Freedman brought out in the twenty-one movements the moods and character of the compo- sition. In his Chopin group he play ed the Valse in A Flat Major, Etude in E Minor, and Ballada in A Flat Major. He opened his program with the Prelude and Fugue in B Flat Major by Bach. Following this he executed with precision and good tonal effects. Prelude and Fugue in F. Minor by Bach, and Rondo in c Major by Beethoven.
 Debussy's "Minstrels" recently played here in violin arrangement by Romeo Tata, was one of his offerings in the last portion of his program. He also gave Sept Pieces Breve" by Honnegger, and the bril- liant and effective Hungarian Rhapsody No. 13 by Liezt to con- clude his program.
