 |sApproved
French Premier Is Given Authority to Promul-
 uate Drastic DeUees

PARIS, Dec 10.-The Chamber of Deputies has voted confidence in Premier Daladier, 315 to 241, thus approving of his decree of laws and strike smashing methods.
 The vote came after an uproari- ous session in which Daladier sought support for his stiff stand against Italian colonial expansion at French expense.
 One of the strike laws is that any indication of a strike will result in men being sworn into the Army or Navy and immediately subjected to military law. As the result of his strike decree, longshoremen and sailors called off their strike. Sev- eral steamers were tied up as the result of sailors striking and the Navy law was enforced but before swearing in took place the sailors announced they would operate the ships. Navy officers were placed aboard all ships threatened with tie-ups and with power to act at the slightest sign of infractions.
 His stand on resistance to Italy is also approved.

Iotaliiarian Systems Re- blked and Warning
 Given on Invasion

LIMA, Peru, Dec. 10.-American Secretary of State Cordell Hull told the delegates attending the Pan American Conference that adequate defense against foreign military and political invasion of the New World is the immediate and paramount problem and he coupled his state ment with a stinging denunciation of despotic forms of government in delivering the keynote address.
 Secretary Hull emphasized that while all nations of the Western Hemisphere must work together, each Nation must decide by itself what measure it wants to take.
 "As far as my country is concern ed" said Secretary Hull. "let no one doubt for moment that so long as there is possibility of an armed challenge existing, the United States will maintain an adequate defensive military, naval and air defenses."
 No nation mentioned in Secretary Hull's rebuke of totalitarian systems, which he said were not new in the history of mankind but he did say that fundamentally they are the same forces that for centuries held men in bodily slavery and spiritual degradation"
 Secretary Hull further declared there must not be a shadow of doubt anywhere as to the determin- ation of American Nations not to permit of invasion of this Hemis- phere by armed forces of any power or any possible combination of pow p

REPORT JURORS STOOD
 10-2 FOR CONVICTION
6 for MansIdughter, 4 for First Degree, Z for Ae-
 quiftdI, Report

After being out 55 hours and 10 minutes, the Forrest V. Smith mur- der jury was discharged by Federal Judge George F. Alexander at $50 o'clock last night when Foreman Jaseph w. Flanagan reported to the court that the jurors were hope lessly deadlocked.
 Smith, who was brought into the court room from the Federal Jall when the Judge called to the jury, was lead back to jail and Assistant District Attorney George w. Folta said today the case would be re- tried. Judge Alexander set it at the end of the present court docket which means it probably will not go to trial again before well along in January or early February.
 10 For Conviction
 Report was that the jurors stood 10 to 3 for conviction. It was under stood that six stood for manslaught- CT. four for first degree murder and two for acquittal Fifty ballots were taken, it was reported, and there was said to be little change since the early ballots.
 Only one report had come from the jury to the court since 1t re- tired at 2:4O o'clock last Wednesday afternoon and that was in the nature of a request to visit the Smith home on Gastineau Avenue where the fatal shooting of Thomas Ceiling took place. This request was Thursday Last night Judge Alex ander summoned the jurors in to see if they were near verdict. He was told by Foreman Flanagan that they were not and there appeared no hope of reaching one. The Court said he didn't have the heart to send them back for further delib- eration in view of the report and the 55-hour siege they had already stood and discharged them with instuc- tions to report in court Monday morning with the rest of the jury panel.
 Look Tired
 Haggard and worn the jurors walked out of the court room and departed rapidly for their respective homes to catch up on the sleep they indicated they needed badly.
 The defendant, Smith, who is charged with staying Ceiling, a former steward on the TongaSs, in the Smith home here over alleged intimate relations Smith claims Col ling had with Mrs. Smith, appeared as the Foreman announced the pleased with the result and smiled deadlock.

ENGLAND PLEASED WITH
 NEW U. 5. TRADE TREATY
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. By taking a nose dive into British eco- homie and trade publications you get more of an idea why England was glad to take any step, such as the trade pact with the U. S., offer ing some offset against further German trade aggressions
 By a system of trade inventions that amaze the English, Germany is able to buy and buy and buy food, cotton and other raw ma- terials, and sell her own manu- factured articles to countries which England once considered her own customers.
 An article in the London Econ omist points out some of the mech anisms by which Germany sews up trade. Suppose Tobacco oil and wheat are needed. All these are available in the Balkan countries. Germany offers to buy large sup plies of these goods. She will pay aski marks, which are good only for purchase of German goods in return.
 Maybe the Balkan countries don't like to be tied up to buying only German goods, so they object to the deal Germany promptly offers to pay higher than the world mar ket price. Farmers, eager for an opportunity to sell at high price, insist that the deal go through And since peasants in the Balkans outnumber everybody else, they have to be satisfied.

TOKYO, Dec. 10.-Actual denun- citation of the Nine-Power Treaty relating to the Open Door Policy in China, is pronounced and the treaty is called obsolete by the Japanese newspapers.
 New Chinese governments will be established under Japanese protec- tion of the Japanese Army.
 This will probably be the final step in welding Japan and her pup pet lands.
 All conquered sections in China will be placed in solid political and economic units and will actually put into effect Japan's new policy of Asia for the Asiatics."

OF WORLD NOW THREATENED;F|GHT,
 |5 PLEA OF BRIT|SHER

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Capt. An thony Eden, former British Foreign Secretary, told business men gath cred at banquet last night in his honor given by the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers, that the Democracies of this world must summon all energies to survive the ruthless challenge now being made.
 The huge audience cheered the former British Cabinet member spontaneously for several minutes at various intervals during his straight from the shoulder talk.
 Stirling Moves
 Tt would indeed be the greatest irony in human history if mankind should allow all progress to be stifled by setting up new form of idolatry and worship of state to which all men must bow down and to which they must sacrifice free- dom of speech, actual freedom of person and also worship. Yet such is the new doctrine in many lands at present and which has passionate and ruthless devotees,' said Capt. Eden.
 Capt. Eden said the United States and Great Britain must show the way for the solution of the problems facing the worlds Democracies. ...
 Democracy Imperilled
 Whatever else the world may have been made, it has plainly not been made safe for Democracy" said Capt. Eden We are not calling for help to others, we are not seeking to lure others to pull our chestnuts from the fire. We have no such in- tentions. We know we are destined in our own land, in our own time and our generation to live in a peri cd of emergency which none can see the end"
 Goes to Roosevelt
 Capt. Eden arrived late yesterday afternoon and was driven directly from the liner Aquantina to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel where he quickly dressed for the dinner given in his honor Following his speech, which was also broadcast over a national hookup, he said he intend- ed to leave sometime today for Washington and will probably have long talk with President Roose- welt. He intends to return to Eng land, possibly aboard the. Queen Mary on her next sailing. He re- gently resigned on account of the "lay-down' policy of Premier Cham berlain.

POWERFUL PERSUADERS

That leaves the Balkan banks loaded with aSki marks with which they can buy only German goods. Now if a Balkan importer has been used to buying British shoes or fab rics or steel, he will be persuaded instead to buy in Germany because the banks have to use up this Ger man exchange. Thus Britain loses a customer.
 There has been so much of this that the Balkans are loaded with aski marks. They can't spend them for anything except German goods And Germany isn't always willing to sell them what they want. The Balkans may want steel building materials but Germany instead wants to sell toys and glassware Yugoslavia was compelled to buy huge quantities of aspirin, Ru- mania bought thousands of type writers, and Greece bought mouth organs by the hundred thousand.

BIG MUNITIONS MARKET

In an effort to use up more of the growing supply of aski marks, many Balkan countries agreed to buy Ger man munitions. Now why should Germany. engaged in an armament race, sell munitions? Simple. says the London Economist. Germany sells munitions which are growing obsolete for first class power They still are satisfactory for smaller countries
 Much of this same type of trade goes on with South America. Sell
