peace.
Nazis refused to forecast the pos
sible conten.s of the spoech except
to say that Germany and Russia
had divided Poland and that there
could be no discussion of the acts
of the NaZi-Communist axis.
AS regards Italy, Nazis said that
If peace bids failed, there would be
further conversations with Musso-
lini regarding Joint measures" to
bring war to an end within the
shortest possible time," and negotia-
tons also with Russia.
Despite the implications of this
statement, well informed quarters
expressed belief that so far neither
Italy nor Russia had promised Ger
msny and military aid as part of
what the Nazis called 'joint meas

Joachib Won Ribbentrop, foreign
minister, was believed to have told
Ciano that Germany and Russia
had concluded no agreement which
would infringe Italy's in the Bal

1t was reported that Ribbentrop
said also that Germany did not in

but that at the same time it did not
intend to form Polish "hdepen-

ALLIES POLICY
NOT TO CHANGE
Chamberlain Tells House
Powers Are Determined
to Crush HitIerism
BY WALLACE CARROLL
United Press Staff Correspondent


London, Oct. 3. - CUP - Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain told
the House of Commons today that
the Nazi-Soviet threat" could never
change the Allied powers determin-
alton to crush Hitlerism but that If
peace proposals are made I'VE shall
certainly examine them"
But the Prime Minister declared
that the peace proposals expected
In Adolph Hitlers speech to the
Reichstag late this week would be
examined and tested" only in the
light of the Allied determination to
end the "intolerable" use of force in
European affairs. His statement in
Dictated rejection of any terms the
Nazi Fuehrer is believed likely to
offer on the basis of the Polish con-
quest.
Chamberlain said that the funda-
mental cause of the war was THE
overwhelming sense in this country
and France of the intolerable nature
Of state of affairs in which the
nations of Europe were faced with
the alternative of jeopardizing their
freedom or mobilizing their forces at
regular intervals to defend it."
The German attempt to blame
Great Britain for responsibility in
continuing the war is "only another
instance of the German war tech
nique," he said.
Responsibility for the war rests
on those who conceived and carried
out this policy of successive agrees
sions," he said.
"It can neither be evaded nor ex-
cused."
The Prime Minister emphasized
that there was nothing in the Nazi-
Soviet agreement to cause the Allies
to change their announced policy of
crushing the Hitler regime.
81 see nothing in what has hap
pened that should lead this country
to modify the attitude, which it felt
was right to take" he said.
The immediate cause of war,
Chamberlain said, was the deliber-
ate invasion of Poland "but it was
not the fundamental cause" This
was in reply to the Nazi argument
that Poland has now ceased to exist
and therefore there is no use con-
tinuing the war in the west.
The Soviet German agreement
changed the position of Poland, he
added, but at by no means follows
that that arrangement will endure
to the ultimate advantage of Ger
many and still less should it affect
the arms of his majesty's govern
ment."
"There is nothing in the agree
ment which should cause us to do
anything other than what we are
doing now-mobilizing all resources
and might of the British empire for
effective prosecution of the war.
1.-THE reason for which this coun-
try entered the war has been fire.
q,lently proclaimed. 1t was to put
an end to successive acts of German
aggression which menaced freedom
and the very security of all the ma
tons of Europe"

PRESS EULOCIZES
ITALIAN PRIEST
"Padre Turnel," Son of
Count Spent Life as Mis-
sionary in Alaska

II Progresso Italo-Americano, thu
Italian paper published in New Yorl
City, writes the following interest
ing article about an italian mission
airy, of noble birth, who spent thu
greater part of his life in religious
work in Alaska, dying there recently
"At a time when so many lives
are being lost in world conflicts,
the death of a brave and pious
missionary worker has almost es-
capped the notice of laymen. News
reached us during the week that
Padre Tunnel had died while work
ing to bring religious comfort to
the inhabitants of Alaska.
Few knew that Padre Tunnel"
was in reality Count Filiberto
Tornielli, son of Count Giacinto
Torniello, who had transferred his
home from his native Venice to
Turin. It was in Turin that Count
Filiberto spent his youth and car
ried on his studies until, conscious
of his religious vocation, he en-
tered the Pesuit Order.
In 1898, after twenty years of
missionary work in India, he was
sent to Alaska to work among the
gold-seekers in the Liun canal,
where all was waiting to be done.
Devoting himself to pioneer work
in the furtheSt and most remote
parts of Alaska, Padre Tunnel in
troduced the assistential and
beneficient methods he had seen
in action in his own country, es-
tablishing houses for emigrants,
employment agencies, mutual aid
societies. Among those who bene-
fitted by his devoted work was
the large number of Italians who
had found their way to far-off
parts.
A group of Jesuit Fathers had
left Italy some sixty years ago to
found a mission in Alaska, In the
zone nearest to the North Pole.
These pioneers of civilization died
one by one, but none without at
tanning or passing the advanced
age of 80, thus proving that these
"Torinesi" missionaries were able
to endure the northern cold.
Padre Tunnel, who had COM
pleted fifty-five years of mission
airy labor, had passed IS of these
amid the hardskips and difficult
ties Of the Alaskan mission sta
tons, and will be long remember
ed with affections and gratitude
by those among whom he worked.

Commercial Credit Co.
Now Gives Guarantee

According to C. l.. Flowers, District
Representative of the jackson office
offering Commercial Credit Guaran-
teed service. Commercial Credit Com
pany is first of the finance compa-
MES to publish a specific guarantee
as to financing rate and insurance
covea,age on new automobiles. This
guarantee states that the new car pur-
chaser financing through Commercial
| Credit will pay no more than he should
and get everything that he pays for.
Although much publicity has been
given to methods of computing new
car financing rates, many people feel
confused and bewildered and they are
suspicious very often of the charges
made. Now, a system of checking
all new a time payment contracts
which Commercial Credit finances
protects the new car time buyer iron,

Therefore, when Commercial Gre

action on a new car of any make

the financing rate will not exceed
