tribution to the Munich agreement
was perhaps decisive"

mobilization in Germany was post
poned for "a hours to give oppor-
tunity Of discussion and during the
conference he and Count Ciano
tGaleaz1o Ciano), his foreign secre-
tary, were most helpful he said
Chamberlain said it was Mussolini
and Ciano who, early in the pro-
ceedings at Munich produced a men,
orandum which Daladier and myself
were able to accept as basis for
discussion"
Chamberlain then paid tribute to
Premier Daladier of France and to
President Roosevelt.
Presidents Message Persuasive.
The messages of President Roose-
welt, so fairly and yet so persuasively
made. showed how the voice Of the
most powerful nation in the world
could make itself heard across 5000
miles of ocean and sway the minds of
men in Europe" the Prime Minister
said
In my view, the strongest force of
all was that sense of unmistakable
unanimity among the peoples of the
world that war somehow must be
averted.
This increasing desire for peace
pervaded the whole atmosphere of the
Munich conference.
Ever since assumed my present
oftce my main purpose has been the
paciflcation Of Europe-to remove those
animosities which have so long poison
ed the air.
Regarding his conversation with
Hitler and the joint declaration he
signed with the Fuehrer, Chamberlain
said:
Il entered into no pact. made no
new commitment. There is no secret
understanding. Our conversation was
hostile to no other nation.
1T was an endeaver to establish a
contact with Hitler which I believed
to be essential to modern diplomacy
That declaration is comething more
than pious expression of opinion"
Had Disarmament Discussion.
Chamberlain indicated that he had
discussed the disarmament question
with Hitler in the following state
ment:
Disarmament on the part of this
country will never be unilateral. If
disarmament is to come it must come
by steps and the active cooperation
Of other countries.
Let no one think that because
we have signed the Munich agree
ment we can afford to relax our ef-
forts.
I am too much of a realist to
believe that we are going to achieve
our paradise in day. We have

Safeguards for Democracy
Urged by Vice Rector
Mccormick.

The educated Catholic layman must
be ready to express the churchs atti-
tude on the social problems agitating
the world, the Right Rev. Patrick j..
Mccormick, vice rector of Catholic
University, declared yesterday at the
opening of the university's 50th aca-
demic year.
He advocated the sane and solid
teaching for the safeguarding of a
democratic form of government" en-
bodied in the encyclical on Christian
democracy by Pontiff Leo XIII.
The teachings of the Pontiff, he said,
should be studied today when the
great democracies are on trial, even
despised and derided by the leaders of
totalitarian states"
Our own great country" he de-
clared, ''is greatly in need of the
teachings of that encyclical on loyalty
to constituted civil authority, on justice
individual and social, on the rights
of the laborer and the rights of the
employer, on the position of the home
in democratic society and on the need
of the masses for religion as their only
sure solace and consolation amid the
hardships of life"
Before the offering of the solemn
high mass in the National Shrine of
the Immaculate Conception on the
campus, a procession of lay students
formed at Mcmahon Hall, center of
student activities. The seniors were
garbed in caps and gowns for the first
time.
The clergy and religious students
formed at Caldwell Hall and proceeded
across the campus to the shrine. The
two groups were followed by the facul-
ty in academic costumes and religious
vestmentS
After the mass the faculty members
made their profession of faith, &C
cording to the requirements of the
university, and signed the register in
fulfillment of their obligations.

! there had not been a German Ambas-
sador in London and the German
Charge dAffaires had hardly visited
| the foreign office.
It had urged mobilization (of the
fieet) for many days.
Il thought it was the kind of
language it would have been easier for
Herr Hitler to understand"
Duff Cooper complained that Cham
berlain did not make the British po-
sition plain at Berchtesgaden or at
Godesberg' when he conferred with
Hitler.
When the British government did
send message stating its attitude, it
contained at least three qualifying
clauses" he declared.
He referred here to the warning
Britain made that if Germany invaded
Czechoslovakia France would be drawn
in and that if France were involved in
war, Britain and Soviet Russia would
come in.
Il tried to swallow the Munich
terms, but they stuck in my throat"
Duff Cooper said amid opposition
cheers.
Breaks Down and Sobs.
The resigned minister broke down
and sobbed in the midst Of his speech.
He was unable to speak for a few mo-
ments and when he recovered his COM
posure the opposition cheered him.
Protesting against the granting of
Germanys demands that some of her
troops should be allowed to enter the
Sudetenland last Saturday, Duff Cooper
said
The German government, having
got their man down, were not to be
deprived of kicking him."
He also protested against the fact
that Chamberlain signed with Hitler
last Friday at Munich an Anglo
German agreement without consul
tation with his colleagues, reference
to his allies or communication with
the dominions
This is not the way. foreign affairs
OF the empire should be conducted" :"
Duff Cooper declared.
Cites Loss of Prestige.
AS a result Of the Munich agree
ment, Duff Cooper continued. we
were left with loss of prestige and
also a tremendous commitment. as
for the first time in history we agreed
to defend a frontier in Central
Europe
Along with Germany and Europe's
other big powers Britain agreed to
guarantee the shrunken Czechoslovak
frontiers
While Duff Cooper spoke in Com
mons Viscount Halifax, the foreign
secretary, began a statement in the
almost-deserted House of Lords similar
to that Chamberlain made to Com
mons last Wednesday.
Lord Halifax paid tribute to the
efforts of Viscount Runciman to effect
an agreement between the Czecho-
slovaks and Sudeten Germans and ex-
planned the reasons he was unable to
do so.
Lord Runciman was Britain's un-
official mediator in the Czechoslovak-
Sudeten German issue.
Duff Cooper concluded that now that
Britain was committed to defend
Czechoslovakia' frontiers, I'VE should
now maintain an army on the CONT
mental basis; we should quicken our
rearmament scheme on a broader
basis"

Warning to new members of

For Senator Green may be II
years old, but he's still healthy
and husky. Each day he takes
a real workout in the Senate
gym" punching the bag, work
ing on the weights, taking swim
and ending with a rundown.
There are few members Of the
Senate who can keep UP with the
Spry pace set by the veteran
Senator when he takes a walk, so
let the newcomers beware.
Senator Green has many activi-
ties outside his duties in the SEN
ate. He is a member of the Board
of Fellows of Brown University,

dence public library, and asso-
ciated with number of social,

SNIPER CITED
IN PLEA FOR
MORE POLICE
Hazen Proposes Merger
Of Forces Here

Washington needs between 200
and 300 additional policemen.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
pointed that out today and urged
merger of the Park and Metro
politan police departments in the
interest of efficiency.
Such a merger will be recon-
mended when Congress meets
next January, Commissioner Hazen
said, and he will stress the in
ability of authorities to capture
the phantom sniper as one reason
for uniting the forces.
Commenting on the situation,
Commissioner Hazen said:
1T is absurd for washington
to have two police departments.
We need a centralized force and
we need more men, not only to
control crime, but to handle the
traffic problems.
Although police patrols were out
last night searching for the Sniper,
no trace of the killer was found,
and officials repeated their belief
that he has fled the city.

The doll with the missing eye
was brought to Engine House Is,
in the 1000 block Thirteenth St.,
by one of the hundreds of Premier
cabs which these days will call at
your house to pick up your child's
discarded playthings and deliver
them to the Good Cheer Club.

is contributing these calls to the
