Farewell? Mo- MOI On that far

Where friends shall meet to part

Well bridge once more earth's far

And stand united face to face.
There memory will assert its power
And say, meath heavens blessful
spell,
1t was goodbye, but not farewell.

were enjoyed by large crowd at
the high school gym on Thursday
evening when the grade school

the well known book of the same

Owens as Tom and Huckleberry
carried the leading roles with a
manner that delighted the audience
Pete Howell as the sissy threw the
crowd in spasms of laughter with
his naturalness. The little sunflow-
er dots from the first grade won
the hearts of all with their demure-
ness and sweet voices. All in all
it was a play which the teachers
may well be proud of having pre-
scented The scenery, especially that
of the cave with the stalagmites and
stalactites made by the school and
having an uncanny appearance OF
realism, together with the grave

France Resistant
To Further BIockmoiI
BY EDGAR ANsEL MOWRER,


Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
PARIS, Dec. IS (By Radio) -
France is determined not to yield
again to blackmail. This is the log
ical conclusion to be drawn from
the clear and categorical answers
given by. Georges Bonnet yesterday
to the Foreign Affairs Committee
of the Chamber of Deputies.
France, said the foreign minister,
will not yield an inch of its terri
tory. Taken literally, this means
Djibouti port of French Somaliland
and one end of the railway to Adds
Ababa) as we'll as Tunisia, Nice,
Savoy and Corsica.
If the Soviet Union, Poland and
Rumania defend their territory
against Germany, France will assist
these powers, M. Bonnet said in his
report to the committee. Frances
alliances with these countries are
still intact.
Furthermore, he said, France will
not give belligerent rights to Fran
cisco Franco in Spain until the rebel
generalissimo fulfills the conditions
of the London agreement. This can
only mean that these rights will be
extended only when all foreign VOL
unteers leave the Franco side of
Spain.

Mrs. Ashworth, who was held up

with a loud clang, thinking the
officer would hear the sound and

There is no more here" Mrs.
Ashworth replied in relatively
loud voice.
The man then told her to get be-

DaIadier Presents

Arms Budget
$500, 900, 900 Is Sought
For Restoration of
French Power
BACKGROUND

french detenSeS reUedted IN
aDeakened condition BY crisis ouer
Czecho-S -SloUdkid 1Uhich resulted
In Munich agreement. As result
Premier Daladier aUaS giUen de-
cree po1DerS to restore Frances
strength, and in pursuance OF
them has inaugurated program
of reforms, designed partly to
permit stimulation OF French
armament production.
BY the Associate rress.
PARIS, Dec. 15.-Premier Dala-
diers national defense cabinet,
warning Italy and Germany that
France would fight to protect her
empire, presented to Parliament to-
day the greatest arms budget since
the World War.
Debate on the budget, scheduled
to begin Immediately was expected
to provide M. Daladier's opposition
with new opportunity to attack
his policies and to open the way for
a>new test of his strength in Par
lament.
The portion of the budget ear
marked for arms, munitions and men
for the French war machine was
tagged with a fiat "do not touch"
sign.
Sixty-f Per Cent of 1889 Income.
Finance minister Paul Reynaud
said this sum represented IS per cent
of the estimated income for 1899 or
IS per cent of the actual 1888 gov
ernment income.
Here is where some of the money
will GO:
/. To the navy, which Navy Min
lister Cesar Campinchi declared
would have 100000 tons of warships
af1oat by 1912. At present, Cam
pinchi said, Frances navy is equal
to the combined sea forces of Italy
and Germany, although the totali-
tartan building program will soon
place the combined navies ahead.
2. To the air force, which will in
crease its officers by 1,347 and its
on-commissioned officers and men
by 1920 through a measure at
'tached to the budget. This would
sring the total air force officers to
STOP, and men, including nom
commissioned officers, to $4,000.
Much of the air force money will be
spent on speeding up French war
plane production.
3. To the land army, which gets
newer and better guns, additional
motorized equipment and improved
Notifications.
Much of the money earmarked
for the three branches of the serv-
ice will be spent in backing up
Frances warning that she would
fight to hold her empire.
Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet
told members of the Chamber of
Deputies Foreign Affairs Commit
tee Italy must understand "she will
never have an inch of any part of
French territory no matter what
means she uses"
M. Bonnet added that he had
made Frances position clear to the
German foreign minister, Joachim
Won Ribbentrop, during the latter's
visit to Paris December 6 to 8, and
that he had won German assurances
that the Nazis were mot interested"
in the Mediterranean.
