he made a speech to the Foreign Press Association in London. By courtesy he circulated advance copies to the press. Having read this, the German Ambassador and the German journalists stayed away from the dinner. The Prem fer has his own shrewd suspicious as to who ordered this boycott.
 In the meantime, too, England's defense system is being rapidly increased. It is not so necessary for Chamberlain to speak soft ly. His big stick is being built in the shape of air raid precau- tions, fighter and bomber planes, and more ships for the navy.
 So the guess is that he will be something other than easy clay in the hands of Mussolini. The Italian in his wild demands upon French possessions. Neither will he get very far in his demands that Franco be granted belligerent rights.
 The slow starvation of thousands of Spanish women and children in Loyalist Spain by German and Italian ships and airplanes, flying the Spanish rebel flag, and attack ing food ships destined for Barce- Iona and Valencia, has aroused pub- lie opinion in England. So has the sinking of British ships. Chamber lain could not afford to grant bel- ligerent rights to Franco which would allow the latter to attack British ships far from Spanish wa ters. Besides which, the French cab- inet Is at present adamant against the proposition.

Legion Aids. Relatiues or Deceased Veterans Final War Insurance Payments Due - Evidence Sought Supporting Claims for Government
 Compensation.

stallment is paid, if a compensa- ton award is in effect, this is adjusted to the increased com- pensation rate. We are learning of cases. however, where depen- dent parents particularly have never filed a claim for compen- sation, and when their insurance stops they do not know that there may be any other benefits due them.
 In recent case the mother of the veteran (who died in service in 1910 had written the Veter- ans Bureau at that time to in- quire about insurance benefits. She mentioned that she was a widow and had two small chil- dren. This mother has recently received that last of her 240 in stallments of insurance, but had never received any compensation. She was unknown to the Veterans Workers or the American Red Cross until recently but has now been assisted to file a compensa- tion claim. The frequency with which such cases are discovered is distressing. I urge all to make every effort to see that depen- dents of deceased war veterans are apprised of their rights and file the necessary claims.
 Pension-Annual Income
 Pension for disability not due to service will not be paid to a single person whose income is over $1,000 or 8 married person with an income over $2,5O0.
 Annually 8 questionnaire, Form 619, Is sent to each pensioner asking for a report on income. This should be returned prompt ly. If 1t is not received within sixty days, pension payments are suspended.
 I urge that the above contents be read at the next meeting of the post and auxiliary.

British Liberals And French
 Fret As Chamberlain, Duce Plan ''Heart-tO-Heart" Talk
BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Londcr, Jan. G. Fifty million Frenchmen and many millions of British Laborites and Liberals are sitting on uneasy seats as Premier Neville Chamberlain neatly folds his world-famous umbrella and pre- pares to hie himself to Rome.
 They are fearful that the chief of Britain's cabinet, when he visits Benito Mussolini for "a heart-to- heart talk, may make concessions to Italy comparable to those made to Germany at Munich.
 The French, especially, are won- dering whether Chamberlain will give Mussoloni part of his de- mands upon France-namely Tu- nisia. And also whether he will yield to Mussolini's insistence that belligerent rights shall be granted to General Franco in Spain.

 GETTING TOUGH
 However, there are indications that tougher Chamberlain will go to Rome than went to Munich. There are various reasons for this. One is that Chamberlain feels he

WPA. But Harry Hopkins is not the political leader of the admins tration. He is and always has been a welfare worker with whom politics has been a secondary interest. He has been extremely close to the President. He would not dare un- dertake any political activities on his own initiative.
 The political leader of this ad- ministration is the President. Harry Hopkins and Jim Farley have been, in politics, merely his messenger boys. Whatever Harry Hopkins did he did with the full knowledge, and beyond 8 doubt, at the specific direction of the Presi- dent.
 ONE MAN ONLY
 TO BLAME
 If there is any blame there is only one person to blame and that is Franklin D. Roosevelt. Everybody knows that. To put Harry Hopkins in the Commerce Department and suppose that has changed the situa- tion at all is preposterous.
 Now, on the question of future administration. It is now perfectly obvious that what is being planned in spite of four years of experi- ence with relief-is being planned hastily. The President is playing with the idea of county boards. But on examination all he has
 in mind is more or less voluntary
 boards of citizens who can receive
 complaints and look into them.
 This means exactly nothing. The
 whole subject of relief needs now
 to be approached intelligently and
 with an understanding that it is
 to remain for many year though
 in changing degree.
 At least few things are known They were known before the ad- ministration went into power. One is that the authority which raises and provides the money should spend it. Nothing could be more fatal than to have the money come from the federal government ano l oPC11O ny UAlC oUdGC SONCk 11k44C14hos LOCAL COMMUNITIES
 MUST CONTRIBUTE Another is that the communities in which the money is spent must also provide part of it. The people must feel the burden. The spend ing of money must not be source of local prosperity, flowing in from outside from some unknown source That makes for extravaganza, folly corruption.
 A third is that relief money can
 be spent by only one kind of an
 organization, recruited by the most
 drastic civil service operations. It
 is an insult to the intelligence of the people to recruit spending personnel by the grossest political
 methods and then heap them all
 into civil service. The statesman
 who cannot see the folly of com-
 hitting his spending for relief to a political militia is doomed to the
 most ignominious disaster. It has never failed.
 What does this all mean? Il means complete reconstruction o1 the whole relief approach and ma chine, local contributions upon ar established formula, with nationa. administration by wholly new and professionally organized personne and the entire cost paid out o1 | taxation.
