today of William Strang as special
envoy.
Does not the Prime Minister
realize that these very long delays
are causing disquiet in the country" "
asked Laborite Hugh Dalton, "and
doubt as to whether the government
really means business in this mat
ter? Are not the government spin
ming out time until they can wriggle
back to Munich policy"
Mr.. Chamberlain, jumping to his
feet, retored that Mr.. Dalton was
very offensive in his suggestion
and declared he could see no rea-
son why the delay should be at
tributed to his majesty's govern
ment."
Conservative members cheered the
Prime Minister.
The British government outlined
to Ivan Maisky, Soviet Russian Am
bassador to London, a new formula
which was being sent to Moscow in
the hope of ending a long standing
deadlock over a proposed British
French-Russian mutual assistance
pact.
The formula was discussed by For
eign Secretary Viscount Halifax
and the Ambassador before Mr..
Strang left to take it to the Rus
sian capital. Mr. Strang, foreign
office expert on Central European
affairs, was named last week as spe-
cial envoy to Moscow to expedite
the deadlocked British-French So
Wet negotiations. Mr.. Strang left
by airplane shortly after noon for
Warsaw, enrOute to Moscow.
British officials were represented
as feeling that the new plan would
solve difficulties growing out of
Soviet demands that Baltic states
be guaranteed by the three larger
powers.
Lord Halifax was expected to tell
the House of Lords today that his
conciliatory statements before Par
lament last Thursday did not imply
a return to the discarded appease-
ment policies.
Criticism of the speech grew over
the week end. The idea that it
would weaken the British position
with Soviet Russia was one of the
reasons for the opposition.
Socialists led the attacks on Lord
Halifax. There were increasing de-
mands for cabinet reconstruction
and reports that the first week in
October had been chosen for a gen.
eral election. A large section of the
press viewed suspiciously Prime
Minister Chamberlain and Lord
HaNfaX's offers to discuss German
and Italian aspirations
He served notice he would ask
Mr.. Chamberlain today whether the
government had any intention of
trying to negotiate German and
Italian claims for colonies and
economic expansion
One newspaper headlined an edi-
torial on Lord Halifax's speech
1T Is Betrayal" Papers that
accepted the speech as intended
mainly for German consumption
called for the organization of a
thorough-going ministry of propa-
ganda.
Informed persons believed Lord
Halifax, in concluding debate on
foreign policy in the House of Lords
would take the stand that the gov
ernment had no thought of chang
ing its foreign policy; that the Ger
man people must be informed that
'encirclement' is no part of the

Pope and Chamberlain
Seen Acting as Team

By Radio to The Star.
PARIS, June 12.-TeamWork by
the Pope and British Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain is beginning to
be suspected by certain French po-
litical experts.
1t is known here that the Pope S
first peace move, a few weeks ago,
was accepted joyfully in London
while being disapproved in Paris and
Warsaw. 1t is now believed that Mr..
Chamberlain has been listening to
Vatican suggestion-which has
taken this form instead of that of
more direct Intervention, which was
spoiled by premature publicity-to
try coming closer to the axis powers
rather than making an alliance with
Moscow.

merce Harry L. Hopkins critics
In the Senate have injured them
selves more than they have me,
Hopkins said today at his first
press conference since his con,
firmation as a member of Presi,
dent RooSevelt's Cabinet.
Hopkins referred pointedly to
inaccuracies and falsehoods in
the three-day debate in the upper
branch of Congress which pre-
eeded final action on his appoint
ment as Secretary.
Speech to Tell Policy
Passing on to the duties at hand,
Secretary Hopkins revealed that
he will outline his views on rela'
tions between Government and
business in an address to be de
livered within the next three
weeks.

He announced that he would
meet with the business advisory
council of the Department Of Com
merce-the group Of businessmen
and industrialists which maintains
a liaison with the Federal Govern
ment-on Thursday.
Three Topics Foremost
At that time, the Secretary said,
he will discuss various problems
confronting U. S. industry. The
council has placed social security
taxes and labor relations high on
the aeenda for its first meeting
with Hopkins.
The Secretary refused to reveal
the specific matters that ne Will
discuss with the businessmen. He
also stated emphatically that all
reports concerning his plans as
Secretary Of Commerce are pure
ly dope stories and speculation
and are not based on any inter-
views with me-"
"I am not going to say things
casually" he declared. II want
to weigh every word. I am 60
ing to make a speech within the
next two or three weeks IN
which I shall present my views"
UNDECIDED ON PLACE
Although he has been invited
by numerous organizations to
make an address, Hopkins SAID
he has not decided where or when
he will make his contemplated
speech.
Discussing the acrid debate on
the Senate floor prior to his con-
firmation, Hopkins asserted:
st thoroughly respect honest,
sincere opposition to my confir-
nation. I fully understand the
partisan political opposition.
II believe that, in SO far as in
accurate and false statements
made about me on the Senate
floor, they will do more harm to
