Britain, France Trying to Get Jump on Nazis
 Plans of Seizure NAZIS STIRRING
 UP THEIR PEOPLE Warsaw Is Preparing Pro. test-AIl Quiet Before
 Storm in Danzig
(By the United Press)

Great Britain hammered home to the world today the dangers of Europe's sorest spot-the Free City of Dan- zig - in an effort to block Nazi expansion in eastern Europe.
 While British and French negotiations at Mos scow sought to complete an alli- ance bringing the Soviet Union into the security front, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain an- nounced in the House of Commons that a free corps" was being forn- ed in Danzig after large influx of Germans.
 Both Britain and France have, in effect, been attempting to get the jump on the Nazis' reported plans to return Danzig in one way or an- other to the Reich before autumn. The result has been a flood of warn- ings against aggression and public demonstrations of military pre- paredness in London and Paris in tended, without definitely saying so, to warn Germany that Nazi-spon- sored violence in Danzig as prelude to Anschluss would almost ccr- tainly bring general war.
 Developments Today
 Prime Minister Neville Chamber lain reported to King George on the international situation, reviving in~ terest in reports that he might soon include Winston Churchill and An- thony Eden--both publicly denounc- cd by Adolf Hitler-in the cabinet. But political sources still wondered if Chamberlain would 50 openly challenge Hitler at present.
 The British and French govern ments continued strong campaign of public demonstrations and speeches intended to convince Ger many that they would oppose any direct or indirect move by force to change the status of Danzig but both governments still avoided an irrevocable and definite statement regarding the specific question of a Nazi putsch in the free city.
 Poland Preparing
 Poland was reported in London to be planning not only to warn the Danzig Senate against military preparations but perhaps to intimate that she would intervene if neces- sary to halt such activities. Polish sources insisted they had complete

 Defense Is Answered
 In answer to contentious of the defense States Attorney Fitzgerald said, "the state is prepared to prove beyond any doubt whatsoever, that the articles were kept to violate the statute" Similar cases involving the North Shore Mothers Health Off1ce of Salem. Mass. and Margaret Sanger of New York were cited.
 Today's proceedings were aside from, but vital to criminal proceed ings which have been brought against Dr. Roger B. Nelson, 30, pr. William A. Goodrich 29 and Mrs. Clara L. McTernan, 40, alleged oper- ators of the birth control clinic.
 Seized Evidence Needed
 MT. Fitzgerald said that in view os the pendency of the trials of the tiEee, who have been arrested cn charges of violations of sections 6246 and 6562 of the general statutes an order for the destruction of the evil dence would not be in order at this time. He indicated that 1t would hs needed for the trials.
 In connection with the criminal proceedings, the defense has de- nurred to the information, on the ground that the statute is uzconsti- tutional. Judge Kenneth Wynne has ordered briefs filed on that matter,

REV. CHARLES E.
 COUCHLIN SPEAKS
Attacks 'MurderOus' DOc= Urine That Might Is Right
 in World Affairs

Detroit, July 3. (UP) - Rev Charles E. Coughlin in his Sunday sermon attacked as "murderous" the naturalistic theory as applied to hu- man life that might is right" He said man must return to the princi- pies of Christ. The theory of nature to which man has adhered is es- sentially destructive, according to Father Coughlin and survival of the fittest" becomes translated into the modern intellectual heresies' that money is wealth" and might is right"
 Murder, Oppression
 That citizen or member of Con- gress or president who is bent on copying nature logically should dip his pen in her bosom and write murder and oppression as his prime ethical principle" Father Coughlin said. He pointed to the history of those fallen empires which followed the law of nature and said such a philosophy can do no more for us in our "so-called enlightened age" Certainly our only hope is in a power above nature" Father Cough lin said. Our policy must be learned from Jesus Christ, the author of Su- premature" Father Coughlin out lined handmade theories of social

I'd like TO know (and have) all
the money lost in the winter books
