THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON FRIDAY,
TESTS OF VACCINE
. HELD PROMISING
Further investigation Due,
However, on Immunity
From Pneumonia.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
The Public Health Service today re-
ported promising results" from 4
new vaccine which may make possible
immunization against pneumonia.
The vaccine was tested in Civilian
Conservation Camps Of New England
and the West Coast during the winter
OF 1867. About 10000 volunteers
were inoculated, and 10000 others
provided control group representing
the general uninoculated population.
In the New England camps, the de-
partment said, the incidence OF pneu-
monia was almost one and three-quar-
ters times as great among those not
inoculated as among those who had
received the vaccine. In the West
Coast camps, the frequency among the
uninoculated was nine times that OF
the inoculated.
The inoculating agent has been de-
veloped after many years of labora-
tory research by DR.. Lloyd D. FELTON,,
Health Service senior surgeon, and
others working under grants from the
influenza commission of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Co. and the
pneumonia funds of Harvard and
Johns Hopkins Universities.
The results are promising" DR..
FELTON, said, but there Is need for
careful investigation regarding the
extent and duration Of immunity con-
ferred by the new antigen before its
general use as prophylactic agent
can be positively recommended"
The vaccine is sugarlike in nature,
the Health Service said, and consists
OF a chemical portion of the pneu-
monia germ. The material used Is
soluble and can readily be Standard
lied and sterilized so a supply may
be kept on hand for emergencies.

LONDON, Feb. IA G.N.S0.
Keen British interest in pro-
posals to humanize warfare was
demonstrated IN the House Of
Commons today.
A barrage Of questions was fired
at Premier Neville Chamberlain
and Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden regarding Britain's willing
ness to participate in international
measures against aerial lombard
ment Of civilians.
GOVERNMENT EAGER
Eden assured the House the
government is anxious to further
any agreement for abolition of
such bombing. Chamberlain said
Britain would even ban bombing
by airplanes for police purposes
If an international agreement on
the subject could be reached.
This represented q definite con-
cession by Britain. In it's draft
convention of 1884 on the sub
ject, Britain reserved the right to
use air bomberS for policing pur-
poses in such territories as the.
northwest frontier Of India, where
ordinary punitive measures were
unavailing.
VATICAN NOT APPROACHED
In response to a question, Eden
said Britain had not approached

ing from Pope Plus a denuncia.

II think the powers had better

NOTHING BINDING
He indicated that washington
London and Paris might have

they enjoyed in their formal re
quest for form a tt on about
Japan's naval schedule, which was
turned down.
At the same time the spokesman
stressed that any unofficial revela.
tionS about Nippon's naval build
ing program would not necessarily
be binding.
Informed quarters here, how
ever, agreed with opinions among
Western powers that q naval race
was inevitable, and fresh hints
we're thrown out that Japan would
build Super-battleshipS.

United States, Britain and
France will not relax the
pressure they are exerting upon
Japan by strengthening their
naval bases and concluding a
secret naval understanding"
the newspaper Nichi Nichi
accused.
MUST MEET SITUATION
Therefore, it is only natural
for Japan to consider adequate
counter-meaSureS to meet the
situation.
Judging from the fact that a
naval construction plan calling
for expenditure of more than
$500, 600, 900, is near acceptance
in the United States, it is obvious
that Japan'S reply Ito the tri-

High German and British quar-
. ters lost no time in announcing
there was"no basis Of fact" for
rumors published abroad that
Great Britain was about to make
colonial concessions to Germany.
WARNING BY EDEN
These denials found an inferen-
tial substantiation in the speech
of British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden at Birmingham Satur-
day, in which he warned against
'ruhsing into" commitments WIN
the dictator powers.
The speech was regarded mere
as a warning by Eden he would
continue to oppose the concilia-
tory policies favored by Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain with
regard to the German colonial
question.
II was recalled here that when
Chamberlain first intimated the
time might be ripe for discussion
of the colonial issue, well-informed
;, German circles anticipated a for
NAL British communication on tne
subject would soon be forthcoming.
NO CONCESSIONS
It failed to arrive however, and
intensification of the dispute be-
tween Eden and Chamberlain has
convinced Germany that no con-
cessions may be expected for the
present. German quarters said
the first concrete move by Britain
and France would have to be an
official announcement that Ger
many has a moral right" to the
colonies she lost after the World
War.
It was with the hope of reach
ing some sort of an agreement on
the question that chamberlain
sent Viscount Halifax to Berlin
some weeks ago. Hitler seized
the opportunity to talk colonies,
but Halifax insisted on discussing
central Europe first. Neither was
able to satisfy the other and the
Chamberlain Eden quarrel has
served at least temporarily to pre-
vent resumption Of the converse
tions.
SCHUSCHNIGG FIRM
Another disannointment 1t WaSl
understood, resulted from the
meeting Saturday between Chan
cellors Adolf Hitler Of Germany
and Kurt Schuschnigg Of Austria
at Berchtesgaden.
Said to be heated, the talks re-
suited in stalemate, with
Schuschnigg standing firmly for
Nazi non-interference in Austria.
