CARDS UP SLEEVE
OF CHAMBERLAIN
Premier Believed Waiting
for Departure of
Commons.
BY WILLIAM H. sTONEMAN,

BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,
chicago Daily News Forsisn Correspondent
LONDON, July 14.-Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain now Is credited
with having several cards up his sleeve
ready to be played In Europe's endless
game Of diplomatic poker after those
bothersome kibitsers, the members Of
the House Of Commons, pack up and
depart for their summer holidays the
end Of this month.
Although the government spokes-
men still insist that Great Britain will
not implement its pact with Italy until
. substantial number Of italian troops
have been withdrawn from Spain and
that, according to present expectations.
cannot happen for more than three
months, Mr.. Chamberlain has prac-
tically admitted on two occasions dur
ing the past week that he hopes to
bring the treaty into force during the
summer. At least, he solemnly re-
fused on two occasions to promise he
would not do 80 during the parliament
tary holidays, which last until some
time In October. While admitting the
possibility that Parliament may be
specially summoned to debate the
question. he has Furthermore refused
to promise that this would be done
before the treaty Is put into force.
Foreign Policy Guarded.
How Mr.. Chamberlain plans to ac-
complish this Is q complete mystery to
the members of Parliament and at
least to some members Of the cabinet.
Apparently it Is also = complete mys-
terry to the foreign ONCE, which since
Capt. Anthony Eden's retirement has
known astoundingly little about Mr..
Chamberlain one-man foreign policy.
Another mystery which Mr.. Cham
berlain is keeping carefully to himself
concerns the question of how Britain
Is going to prevent Rebel Generals
simo Francisco Franco from bombing
British ships again In the future when
Britain has already renounced any
intention of using force Yesterday he
reiterated his previous statement that
British ships trading In Spain must do

Roosevelt Condemns
Republican Tactics

Hyde Park, NJ Y, Aug. 23.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt asserted today that
Intervention by members of one
party in the primary election of an
other destroys a fundamental prin-
ciple of the American party system.
The President discussed particu-
larly the Idaho situation where Sem
ator James P. Pope, the admins
tration candidate, recently was de-
feated for denomination in the DEM
ocratic primary by w. Worth Clark.
Pope, who has been considering
an Independent race for reelection,
conferred with the President, Sun
day. He told reporters his defeat
had resulted from Intervention by
Republicans in the Democratic pri-
mary.
Mr.. Roosevelt, talking with re-
poAters in his Hyde Park Some,
said in response to questions that it
was a question of simple political
morality that members of an oppo-
sition party should not participate
in another party's primary.

Raper Is Heard At
Minister'S Forum

Montreal, Aug. 23.-To Presby-
terian ministers from all parts of
the south came a stirring challenge
here Tuesday to make Christianity
more powerful in healing the blight
ing social ailments of their section.
The speaker was DR.. Arthur Raper,
Atlanta, Ga, and the occasion was
the second session of the Montreal
Ministers forum.
Begun about decade ago by for
ward-looking Southern Presbyteri-
an leaders, the ministers forum has
attracted hundreds of ministers who
wish during their vacation to COM
bine mental stimulation with physi-
cal rest.

THE PARENT-TEACHE
MOVEMENT

There is no social trend of modern
times more encouraging than the growth
of the Parent-Teacher Association move
ment.
Focusing attention of this community
on P.-T.A. affairs is the country conven-
ton here Monday Any parent who can
attend the cOnventiOn-Whether man or
woman, member or non-member -w will
come away with an increased knowledge
of the good done by the organization.
and its widening influence i'm cOmmuni-
ty life.
1t was not many years ago that the
conflict between parents and teachers
over punishment and training of chill
dren was almost proverbial. There was
no understanding between these two
divisions of society-each of which is
vital to the welfare of the child. Parent
Teacher Associations have overcome the
conflict, and substituted for it a mutual
understanding of mutual problems. The
result is a happy one-happy for the
parents and the teachers, but especially
happy for the children.
That society as a whole is coming To
realize the basic importance of the move
ment is demonstrated in membership
figures. In California last year there
were 193,524 members of the PIT A.
This year there are 210057 members in
the state
Imperial county can be particularly
proud Of growth shown by the organiza-
tion here, which had only 659 members
last year as against 1921 members this
year. And the total is still growing!
The Parent Teacher Association is
the largest organization in the United
States for the welfare and protection
of children. 1t is the only one that
works directly through the schools. Aims
of the organization are five-fold:
|. To promote the welfare of children
and youth in home, school, church and
community.
2. To raise the standard of home life.
8. To obtain adequate laws for the
care and protection of children.
4. To bring into close relation the home
and the school, that parents and teach
ers may cooperate intelligently in the
training of the child.
5. To develop between education and
the general public such united effort
as will obtain for every child the high
est advantages in physical, mental, So
cial and spiritual education.

NeU Deal Interest
.ShOUs Election Fears
By RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON-The concentra-
ton of interest on the forthcom-
ing primaries and elections which
lately has been shown by Mr..
Roosevelt and his friends is partly
traceable to a fear that 1888, rath-
er than 1910, may turn out to be the
last stand of the New Deal.
If F.D.R. is to control the Dem
ocratic party when it undertakes
to nominate his successor more
than two years hence he is going
TO need something that can be
hailed as a personal victory next
November.
To achieve that, he must iden-
tify himself with the campaign
through certain definite issues.
Moreover, he must assure the re-
turn to office of loyal New Deal
ers" in Congress and, if possible,
the defeat OF conservative Demo-
Gratis who have fought Roosevelt
policies.
A year ago, when the battle
over the Supreme Court reorgani-
zation plan was on, there was
plenty of talk about punishment
and reprisal. Roosevelt himself in
spired much Of it. But the voters
who had returned him to office
in 1896 never did get excited about
that issue and the President learn
ed TO his disappointment that he
couldn't get them TO punish sena-
tors simply because he resented
their disagreement with him on
that one point. AT one time he had
been almost convinced that any
senator who opposed him on the
Court issue was committing politi-
cal suicide.
Until quite lately it seemed that
the administration, far from being
in a position TO inflict reprisals on
anyone for desertion on the Court
and other issues, would have its
hands full in merely trying to
save the skins of the faithful.
Specific endorsement of Sena-
tors Alben Barkley of Kentucky,
Claude Pepper of Florida and Ryan
Duffy of Wisconsin-all in spite
of solemn assurances that the
White House "as usual" was keep
ing its hands off the primaries
tended to emphasize the impress
sion that the New Deal was on
the defensive.
There was a period of moaning
and gnashing of teeth over the
paucity of strong New Dealish
candidates who might have a
chance Of beating such senators as
Clark of Missouri, Adams of Colo
RADIO, Lonergan of Connecticut, Nc
Carran of Nevada, Smith of South
Carolina and Tydings of Maryland

THE WHY OF ARMS
FOR UNCLE SAM

There have been a lot of objections
lately to the big armament program
undertaken by the United States.
Current events in Europe, We believe
best answer the complaints.
Many students of international poll
tics, drawing a parallel between the
United States in the western hemisphere
and Britain in the European picture
believe that Europe would not be in the
crisis that faces it today if England had
not allowed her armaments to deterior-
ate in the postwar period. The British
Empire is the most potent force in in
ternational diplomacy, but when British
teeth are drawn there is no fear to deter.
the Hitlers and Mussolinis.
Why should this affect the United
States?
Fascsm-cal it by any other name
and it remains the same-has gained a
foothold in this hemisphere by way of
Brazil. Communism is all but triumphant
in our neighbor nation to the south.
Both creeds breed dictators, and dicta-
tors breed aggression.
We do not know what the future may
bring. We may hope and work for peace,
but discretion dictates preparation for
war so that our efforts for peace may
not be in vain.

The movie actress Sigrid Gurie
sped eastward on a train today.
the winner of a game OF hide and
seek with two deputy marshals who
lacked the temerity to search the
ladies' room on the Santa Fe Chief.
They held a subpoena for Miss
Gurie in connection with her di-
vorce suit. but didn't serve it. though
they searched the speeding train as
it moved all the way from Los
Angeles to the Mojave desert.
Miss Gurie is the pretty actress
presented by Samuel GoldWyn last
year as his Norwegian star and a
competitor for Greta Carlo, who
would perform as soon as she learn
ed English. A fortnight ago j"
developed that she came not from
Norway. but the Bronx of New
York, pausing three years ago in
Cucamonga, Calf, to marry Thomas
Stewart, young American business
man. She is suing him for divorce
and he is opposing the case.
