British Opposition
lCleveland Plain Dealcrl

Cleveland Plain Dealcr)
 Sometime before the end of 1940 Prime Minister Chamberlain must call general election. At the moment opposition is running strong against his for eign policy within the ranks of his Conservative party well among the Labor and Liberal mem bers of his maesty,s opposition. Unhappy it takes
 long time for opposition to erystalize in Britain and the government is generally left free to pick its own time and it's issues for appeal to the country.
 Munich created consternation in many thoughtful political groups in Britain. The Prime Ministers do- nothing attitude his continued pious admontions to the dictatcrs to be good and his international defeat in the occupation of Czechoslovakis and his failure bring than discussion out of his nebu lous stop Hitler" scheme have all made the forces of opposition more voluble Currently the peace-time conseription issue seems have ioted nti-Chamber lain forces but it is unlikely that the country will be appealed to on that score.
 Anthony Eden, former Foreign Secretary. looked upon somewhat inaccuratey the antithess of Chamberlain attitude and philosophy, called for the creation of a national government after the Czechoslovakian disaster He sternly rebuked by Sir John Simon Eden is of the sharpest critics of Chamberlain in the Conservative party and it is little wonder that disagreement in the Tory ranks with the Prime Ministers policy has to naught. Party loyalty has played great part in holding mem bers in line except for such individuals as former De- fense Minister Duff-Cooper and Winston Churchill. Their influence party affairs is negligible however
 Even the proclaimed opposition of the Labor party seems ineffective. When of that groups leading members, Sir Stanford Cripps, called for the formation of national government of all parties to oust Chamberlain he was officially expelled from the Labor party
 The Conservative party holds 387 seats in the Commons won on 10488,6 ,626 votes With only 100000 votes less total of 8325 260 the Labor party has only 154 seats Thus the Chamberlain government has less following the nation than it's commanding strength in Commons would indicate For these reasons he probably hopes to avoid general election until minor domestic matter can be inflated for campaign purposes The people of Britain unlikely forget Munich and Prague, however.

With or Without
(New York T1mes)

(New York Times)
 Unsleeping to protect the purity of an ancient institution Mir Sleeper of the Maine House of Rep rescntatves introduced a bill forbiddng the of tomatoes in clam chowder To violate the law would bring the appropriate punishment of digging barrel of clans high tide Mir Sleeper threw the love apple of discord The friends of tomatoes in chowder rushed to their defense Philadelphia cnowder cooks sent expedition to Maine. The State Commissioner Of Sea and Shore Fisheries has been working over hours to send the recipe for the chowder to n- quning correspondents all over the country. MT. Sleepers phiosophic declaration that tomatoes and clans have affinity either in mind body has awakened curiosity on the Pacific Coast. The tone of the clam market must be notably strong
 A poll of Governors has begun. MT. Moore of New Jersey, who has fondneSs for the way Maine went, asserts that the tomato tolerated poor relation but "a basic ingredient of clam chowder, approved by the gourmet. Mir Saltonstal of Massachusetts is forced to regard the tomato alien but he can't depend upon carrying New England against it. Rhode Island famous for chowders. permits the unholy union" against which MT Sleeper rages Connecticut is unlikely to echo any Massachusetts opinion If not mistaken, that compound known as Man hattan clam chowder" peryades both States
 The student of origins, remote from the heat of the controversy will approach it in the spirit of un biased historical inquiry. The custom of cooking fish and other ingredients with certain condiments in cauldron (chaudere) was brought by Breton fisher men to Newfoundland and thence to the Maritime Provinces and New England. The tomato is of much later use. There may be men living who remember when it regarded not only as unedibe but with certain disgust the despised fruit of what contem porary cyclopeda impolitely describes "a strag- gling, clammy, ill-smelng, graysh-green plant Not till the middle of the last century was the tomato q respectable fruit The orthodox New English chowder formula had long been fixed
 The proof of the chowder is the eating; and we have no sympathy with the intolerance of the Cape Colder who hearing that caraway seed enters into the composition of New York chowder, said he surprised that they didn't put in leetle bird seed and plug tobaccer"

 The evening of this day is most promising to leaders of thought and should be fortunate for public speakers. Theaters also will profit.
