equipment out of the sand.
Four hours later young Purnell,
casting in the surf, snagged his

Empire Plane Program
In Full Swing in Month

OTTAWA, Oct. 16 canadian
Press).-The British empires CO.
operative air training program, 1t is
hoped, will be in full swing in a
month, Lord Riverdale, head of the
British air training mission, said
upon his arrival here yesterday.
Lord Riverdale said he hoped the
scheme would be producing at its
peak as many as from 25,0OO to
10000 trained pilots, observers, gun
ners and radio operators annually.
This thing already has had
tremendous psychological effect on
the Germans" said Lord Riverdale.
They see the prospect of their own
forces becoming weaker as time goes
on, while ours continually are rising
in strength"
The plan calls for establishment
Of air schools throughout Gambia, to
which candidates for training would
be sent from Canada, Australia and
New Zealand.
The plan, Lord Riverdale said, will
call for expenditure of many hun
dreds of millions of dollars in Canada
in establishment and expansion Of
air schools, employment and the
purchase Of aircraft.

Men who pray together will hardly

James E. Freeman, Episcopal Bishop
of Washington, said yesterday in
an address to the Huguenot Society

Bishop Freeman spoke of the CO.

and the Bill of Rights within two

He stressed the great value of cor
porate prayer as well as individual
prayer, and declared the Book of
Common Prayer the richest express
sion of corporate prayer in exist
ence."

would unmistakably be demon
strated to the German people. That
probably explains why the British
no longer stress the need Of .
new German government.
British Resolution Stiffened.
Events over the week end are un-
likely to convince Britain that Ger
many's peace is attractive. If the
Germans believe that severe de-
feats are the best methods for
forcing Britain to accept an armis-
tice, they have made a bad mistake
The sinking of the Royal Oak, two
French and one British merchant
ship whose passengers are said to
have been machine-gunned, Is only
arousing the British fighting spirit
which has not really been stirred up
yet. Nor is the repeated German
assertion that Britain supplied the
Poles with yperite gas read in any
other light than that the Germans
intend to use gas themselves.
An official British statement re-
calls that German use of gas in the
last war was preceded by the &C
cusation that the allies had used it.
1t would be impossible to convince
any one here that the British, who
have refused to bomb even German
factories turning out guns and am
munition, would use gass. It is even
reported here that British airmen
have been instructed not to fire on
an enemy plane unless it fires first
So far neither German threats
nor pleadings have convinced the
British that peace on German terms
can be anything but disastrous.

New Peace Move by Hitler
Still Considered Likely
Nuzis Have Trouble
Finding Mediator,
London Hears
Bv HELEN KIRKPATRICK.

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
LONDON, Oct. 16.-The possibility
Of yet another peace move by Fueh-
rer Adolf Hitler was foreshadowed
in London this morning, despite the
German Fuehrer's difficulty in find
ing any one to urge its acceptance
on Great Britain and France. Ber-
lin is reported in London Times
message from Rotterdam to be
seeking out mild and hopeful por-
tions of Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain's speech with a view
to finding common basis for dis
cussion. So far the only one to be
found is that Hitler and Mr.. Cham
berlain agree on the necessity for
new conditions of security in Europe
Since Hitler's idea of security does
not seem to correspond with Mr.
Chamberlain's the German task is
now to find a third party who does
not examine too closely the wide
gaps between the two views and who
will give strong moral backing to
Hitler's desire to end the war in the
west.
The Germans last week predicted
an-Russian-Italian meeting
in Berlin to discuss Britain's rejec-
ton of peace. This meeting has not
happened and London does not be-
lieve that it will. When the meeting
was announced from Berlin it was
almost Immediately denied in Rome
that Italy would attend. This ma
neuver is regarded here as an indi-
cation Of the desperate situation
Germany is in when she resorts to
threats that she must know will be
proved meaningless the next day.
Strong Pressure on Neutrals.
The Nazis did the same thing
when they suggested that the United
States would mediate. Now they
are urging strongly upon the neu-
trails that continuance of the wal
will permanently damage their trade
and, therefore, that they had best
persuade Britain to accept the Nazi
peace terms. It is supposed that
the German effort will be directed
to the Stockholm meeting of the
four Scandinavian states, but re.
ports from those capitals give nc
encouragement to the Nazi hopes.
Any skeptics who had thought
that the British government might
be tempted to try a peace confer.
; ence without at the same time
accepting the Nazi condition thai
all the territory now German-helc
should be excluded from the discus.
sion are now satisfied that there
is no intention in the government
to consider any such proposal. Con.
versation with one of the mos
important members of the cabinet
during the week end convinced mi
that the pitfalls and dangers in.
herent in any conference are tot
clearly seen for Britain to accep
until certain definite conditions ar,
fulfilled beforehand. The first on,
naturally is the evacuation of Polant
and probably the only guarante.
that would be accepted as evidenc,
Of Germany's good faith would b,
the evacuation of Czecho- -Slovakis
also.
AS to negotiation with the Nazis-
it is believed that acceptance O.
