Reich Deal.

LONDON, Feb. 19 P,.-One of
Britain's outstanding labor leaders
urged Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden today to resign from the cabi-
net in defiance of any "humiliating
deal" between Prime Minister Neville

Mussolini of Italy.
Herbert Morrison, former cabinet
minister and secretary of the London
Labor party, declared Mr.. Eden was
"a prisoner of his reactionary COL
leagues" as the cabinet met in ex-
traordinary session. .
The ministers were faced with a
momentous decision on British policy
toward Nazification of Austria and
concessions to Italy in the Mediter-
xanean.
Disagreement in Cabinet.
Even as Mr.. Morrison spoke, re-
ports reached some diplomatic quar-
ters that Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr..
Eden were in sharp disagreement on
Anglo-Itaiian policy and this was one
Of the issues before the cabinet.

BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,

S1okNGNAN,
chicaEo Daily News Correspondent
LONDON, Feb. 19.-Great Britain
today is threatened by a first-class
cabinet crisis. the outcome of which
may well affect the whole future Of
Europe
The members of the cabinet gath.
cred at O'Clock this afternoon ir
the first Saturday afternoon session
since the abdication. to deliberate or
the three e-cornered controversy which
has arisen between British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden, Prime Min.
lister. Neville Chamberlain and the So
called "pro-German group in regard
to the future of Britain's relations
with Germany. Italy and the coun-
tries of Central Europe.
Eden Fights Yielding to Reich.
Far to one side, favoring the con-
tinuation of his own policy and OBJ
jecting to any plan involving indis-
cMminate submission to Germany and
Italy, was Mr. Eden, supported by such
professional foreign Office officials as
Sir William Van Sittart and Alexander
G M Cadogan. Far to the other
side stood the group which favors
the conclusion of four-poWer pact
with Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler. even
at the price of further concessions
to him.
More or less in between, but in
sistent upon making deal with Italy
and still hopeful of a coming agree
ment with Germany was the prime
minister
AS the cabinet met it was generally
felt that the only possible outcome
would either be victory for Mr..
Eden's policy of mo blackmail' or a
victory for those who favor an agree
ment with Germany at almost any
cost. In the latter case it was thought
that Mr.. Eden would be certain to
resign.
Developments in the Austrian sit
uation during the last week have
apparently persuaded the government
that the time has definitely come
to make up it's mind about the future
of Europe and to take definite action
In one direction or another.
Chamberlain Sees Grandi.
After becoming fully aware of the
gravity of the Austrian coup and its
implications in regard to the future
Mr.. Chamberlain's reaction was to
make another almost desperate play
for Italian cooperation. Yesterday
Italian Ambassador Count Dino
Grandi came to the foreign office
and after two conversations with
Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr.. Eden last
ing total of three hours it was
evident that Italy was not ready to
offer anything new either in the di-
rection of assisting Austria or in re-
gard to settling the Spanish situation.
At the conclusion of the conversa-
tions the Italians let it be known that
the British had offered to conclude
an Anglo Italian understanding with
out taking up the question Of Spain.
While Mr.. Eden and the permanent
foreign Office officials have been eager
for many months to conclude an
agreement with Italy, in order to
counter Germany's threat against
Austria, it has been understood for
some time that one condition to such
an agreement would have to be Italy's
withdrawal from Spain.

It's a Silly Gag to
Some, Serious
To Others
BY KENNETH ELLIS

Why do American citizens,
young and old, have such yen for
coats of arms?
The boys who haul out those
big books at the Library of Con-
gress, where every day some two
hundred American citizens stare
themselves cross-eyed at thousands
of shields of argent. or, gules,
azure, vert, purpure, sanguine, and
tenne, say they don't know. That
is, officially, they don't know
what purpure, vert and tenne
mean, although they will confess,
privately, that they have looked
them up just out of curiosity.
THE LOWDOWN
Well, all right-if you must
know-those are the names of the
colors, used in the days when the
heralds tricked a coat. Tricking
a coat is blazoning it-painting
it-and argent means silver, or
means gold, gules is a deepish
red, azure is Just what it says it
is, vert is green, purpure is purple,
sanguine is blood-red and tenne
is tawny, or sort of beige.
Let's not get into the problem
of the coat itself-it'S expressed in
a jargon of its own-you could
master it in two weeks of casual
study. But how would you go
about it to get yourself a nice
shiny coat of arms? BY proving
descent from a duke? Not at all.
Coat armor has nothing to do
with nobility.
