at least five or six millions of readers.
But in addition to these party organs
there are newspapers that display an in
dependence of party bias and direction
which seems to be lamentably absent in
France. Nevertheless, the powerful vest
ed interests which dominate administra-
tions in both France and Britain view
with horror the Russian experiments,
especially the attitude of Soviet Russia
toward private property and the rule of
the proletariat
British and French ideals of govern
ment, especially their attitude toward
liberty of conscience and freedom of ex-
preston, are just as antagonistic to the
Nazi and Fascist ideals and methods as
they are to the principle of bolshevism.
However, there is an underground cur
rent of sympathy and admiration, not
openly expressed, for the strong hand of
authoritarianiSm, which-to use the old
phrase-"keeps the working classes in
their proper places" and teaches them
to do their duty in the state of life to
which it has pleased God to call them"
That is why Mr.. Chamberlain, who
represents this phase of conservatism,
had pact of friendship with Mussolini
almost as soon as he came into power,
and has only been driven reluctantly to
an alliance with Soviet Russia
No theological Differences.
He flew three times to Germany to
shake hands with Herr Hitler, but would
shudder at the suggestion that at that
time it would have been more useful
to him to have a talk with M. Stalin
If you had proposed to him a visit to
Moscow as well as to Munich, in his
heart he would have felt that it was
just like asking him to visit a leper
settlement and shake hands with the

chief Of the stricken community. He
has assured the House of Commons that
no theological differences have interfered
with the making of an alliance with
Russia, and no doubt he thinks he is
telling the truth. Nevertheless, it is not
strictly accurate.
Quite unconsciously the theological
chasm between him and the Soviets
is responsible for his reluctance. Five
minutes conversation with any of his
supporters, picked at random from any
part Of the country would convince you
that there lies the explanation of one of
these disastrous failures Of diplomatic
action which have rendered precarious
the peace of the world for a whole year
There has, however, been very rapid
change among the more enlightened
Conservatives during the last few days,
or perhaps weeks, on the question of
concluding a military alliance with
Russia. Expression has been given to
it in independent Conservative papers
like the Telegraph and the Express, and
in the House of Commons by dis
tinguished statesmen like Mr.. Eden and
Mr.. Winston Churchill There can be
no doubt now that if a plebiscite were
taken OF opinion in Britain, well over
80 per cent would vote unhesitatingly
for the alliance.
What accounts for the change? One
reason is the complete and acknowl-
edged failure of the policy of appease-
ment. 1t was generally believed that
the dlctators would be mollified and
propitiated by concessions such as the
surrender of CZecho-Slovakia and the
delivery of Spain to Fascism Now it is
realized that these morsels-or rather
these hearty meals-have only stim-
ulated the gargantuan appetite of these
gross feeders.
Chamberlain Gets a Scare.
France now sees them reaching to-
ward the daintiest of the fruits in her
great orchard in North Africa. Britain
is also waking up to the fact that they
traded on her complacency to bolt the
slulce gates Of the Mediterranean against
her fleets and trading ships. Mr. Cham
berlain got frightened when he heard
the crunching of the bones and body of
Czecho-Slovakia by the Nazi teeth.
When Poland, with its conservative
administration, was threatened. he
dashed in with a guarantee of her in
tegrity. He gave it without even con-
sulting the general staff as to the FEAST
bility of redeeming such a pledge. 1t
was pointed out to him that without
the aid of Russia, it was a nugatorv
guarantee-that we were walking into
trap.
The general staff formally intimated
to him that such was their view-hence
the tentative, timorous approaches to
Soviet Russia to help him out. The
delay has not been due to any unreadi-
ness on the part of Russia, but to the
attempt of Chamberlain to secure the
aid of Russia without touching its gov
ernment
The transaction has all the char
acteristics displayed by weak men in an
emergency-"letting I dare not wait
upon I would" Just now it looks as
if British and French public opinion
had successfully forced Chamberlain and
Bonnet to rub shoulders with the Boil
sheviks in order to extricate themselves
from the rash pledges they gave to
Poland and Rumania when they had no
means to redeem them

Even His Mentor
Cant See Kayo
For Champion
John Henry Is First
Louis Opponent to
Focus on Midriff
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The
shrewd old-timers of the boxing
clan nearly are unanimous In pre-
dieting that John Henry Lewis will
give Champion Joe Louis a real run
for his money next Wednesday
night and still be throwing leather
at the end of Is rounds.
Not a single manager or former
manager interviewed by the writer
has come out flat-footed and pre-
dicted a knockout for the champion.
They admit the possibility, of course,
but their best guess is that John
Henry, the finest boxer among the
big men, will go the route and make
more even thing of 1t than Tommy
Farr did summer before last.
Roxborough Apprehensive.
Even John Roxborough, CONAN
ager of Joe, has not gone out on
limb this time, and he is the one
who insisted most strenuously that
the bland Bomber would stop
Schmeling in the first round. He is
confident that Joe will keep his title,
but gives the impression he would
be glad to settle for a decision.
Such recognized authorities as
Larry White. present manager of
Fred Apostoli and "discoverer" of
John Henry Lewis, and Dumb Dan
Morgan, who has piloted Jack Brit
ton and many another famous
fighter, are firmly of the belief that
the clever challenger has better
than an outside chance of scoring
a sensational upset.
Doubly interesting is the fact that
they base their belief not on John
Henry's past performances, but on
the way he is training for this fight.
They have noted that he obviously
is preparing to carry the battle to the
champs body, and they think that is
the way Louis ultimately is going
to be licked.
Joe Untired in Midriff.
They, like many of the fight crowd,
never have been convinced that
Louis would relish hard and sus-
tanned assault on his shortribs. In
his brief and brilliant career, they
point out, Joe never has been called
upon to take a real body betting.
because all his opponents have been
wildly determined to smack him on
the jaw ever since Schmeling banged
1t like a gong in their first fight.
Jim Braddock knocked Joe fiat
with such punch in their title
bout at Chicago, and Nathan Mann
staggered him In the first round of
their brief scrap here last winter.
But neither was around long after
that to have try at Joe's midriff.
Each left himself exposed to the
lethal Louis punch as he swung at
Joe's chin.
With such object lessons. John
Henry intends to proceed with eau
ton, to protect himself first and to
plug away at Joe's body as the op-
portunity comes. Managers and
trainers around town seem to agree
1t is the most sensible plan yet
evolved for fighting Louis.
The obvious flaw, Of course, lies in
the possibility that Lewis will get
tagged, lose his head like others have
done, and try to slug it out with
the champion. That always is a
fatal mistake.
