-Four Billions Limit
On Arms Borrowing
Asked Chamberlain
House of Commons Told
Even This TotoI May
Not Be Sufficient
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
Britain's appeasement policy
that reached its peak at Munich
has not since been fully sup
ported by English statesmen.
France has been forced into
defensive position in European
diplomatic circles Uhile at the
same time her allies to the east
haze been reduced to puppet
status. Statesmen holding these
u,etDS doubt if peace can be pre-
served epen at so great price.

LONDON, Feb 21,-Prime Minis
ter Chamberlain today sought House
OF Commons approval for raising
the limit of Britain's borrowing for
her great arms program to $780,
600, 900 $4,000, 900 00O and warned
attentive members that even this
huge sum might not be enough.
The Premier opened the second
day OF full-dress defense debate
with a reminder that f58O,G 1000
($2 300, ,0000 00O was scheduled for
armaments expenditure in the next
year alone-a sum equal to almost
the entire national debt in 1914.
Mr.. Chamberlain admitted that
the armaments race if continued
must lead to bankruptcy for every
country in Europe"
But, he said, disarmament con-
ference at present is mot a prac-
ticable proposition" since there is
not sufficient evidence to show that
1t has chance of success.
"A conference that failed would
be worse than no conference" he
said.
Then he indicated that Sir John
Simon, chancellor of the exchequer,
might be compelled to ask for fur
ther loans, since the estimated ex-
penditure of ,250,OO0,O0O (s6,25O.-

To Discourage War Psychology.
Mr.. Chamberlain promised the
House to watch for every oppor-
tunity that may come of persuading
other countries of the folly Of the
course we all are pursuing"
1t would be criminal" he said,
not to attempt to halt the arms
race In a conciliatory reference
to dictatotrs he added: 1T would
not be bad thing if we ourselves
showed a little more confidence and
did not allow ourselves to believe

Cardinals 10 Meet
March | 10 Elect
New Pope
Voting Will Stort on
Next Day.; All 81
Expected to Attend
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, Feb. 2l-Car-
dinals at the Vatican announced
officially today they would meet in
conclave March l to elect a new
Pope.
They previously had indicated
they would start the conclave
February %, with voting to begin
the following day after Cardinal
OConnell of Boston and the two
South American prelates arrived.
The Vatican announced, however,
that the Cardinals decided the open
ing ceremony would be March l.
Voting, consequently, will begin
March 2.
All the g. cardinals are expected
to attend.
Speculation quickened on the
chances of various cardinals, al
though all conceded there was little
upon which to base predictions.
Three on Way.
A few diplomats to the Holy See
thought the chances were slightly
increased for election of Eugenio
Cardinal Pacelli, Vatican secretary
of state under Plus and now
camerlengo: or interim ruler. Most
observers, however, thought he would
receive merely substantial courtesy
vote on the first ballot.
Only of 81 members of the COL
lege had not yet arrived. They were
Cardinal OConnell of Boston and
the two South American prelates,
Cardinals Copello and Leme, who
are expected to disembark from the
Neptunia March /. Cardinal O'Con-
nell is transferring to that vessel at
Gibraltar.
Special Functions.
Cardinal O'Connell, as dean of
cardinal priests, will have a number
of special functions. With Cardinal
Pignatelli Di Belmonte, dean of the
cardinal bishops, and Cardinal
Caccla Dominioni, dean of cardinal
deacons, he will approach the elected
Pontiff to ask his acceptance.
II the tradition of many past elec-
tions is followed, the one chosen will
respond "nolo episcopari II do not
wish to be bishop (of Rome)."
He will be asked to reconsider and
then will accept with the statement
that since God wishes that I should
assume the pontifcate, I am unable
to say nay"
Plus X swooned when he learned
he was elected and said Il accept it
as a cross"

Bombs Kill 9

Britain Protests
Air Attack on
Rail Stution
BY the Associated Press.

HONG KONG, Feb. 21.-Nine per-
sons, including a British Indian
policeman, were killed today when
Japanese war planes bombed a rail-
road station inside the borders of
this British crown colony.
Sir Geoffry Northcote, governor
of Hongkong, after a personal in
vestigation sent report to London
and requested the British consul
general in Canton vigorously to pro-
test to the japanese government.
The raid led to the influx of
several thousand refugees from the
heavily bombed Chinese area ad-
jacent to the Hong Kong border. In
Shumchun village, just outside Brit
ish territory, it was estimated that
the planes had caused more than
100 casualties among civilian
Chinese.
The bombers also demolished
railroad car in which a score of
British policemen were sheltered
near the station

the low-fying Japanese planes first
dropped bombs in Chinese territory
not far from the western border of
the British colony and then flew
over the border, unloading more
missiles on the Lowu station, 1S
miles from the heart of Hong Kong.
A mixed passenger and freight
train on the Hong Kong -Kowloon
railroad 2 miles within the colony
border narrowly escaped destruc-
ton when a japanese bomb landed
near the tracks, shattering windows
of the cars. The passengers were
reported uninjured.

dispatch from Hong Kong said that
at another point bomb fell on
British military blockhouse, killing
an Indian and several Chinese).

Legislators Disagree
On Banning Public
Meetings Of Bund
Views Voiced After
TumuItuous Rally
In New York
Ry the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Members of Congress disagreed
today as to whether such organiza-
tions as the German American
Bund should be permitted to hold
public meetings.
Reaction to the stormy session of
the Bund in New York last night
varied from a statement by Senator
Bankhead, Democrat, of Alabama,
that he favored concentration
camps for those trying to spread
n-American propaganda" to an as
sertion by Senator Downey, Demo-
crat, of California, that "any group
has a right to hold a meeting so
long as it is legally authorized"
Il think these Bund meetings
would amount to a lot less if the
opponents of Hitler in this country
would just ignore them," said Sen
ator DoWney.
Thousands of New Yorkers didn't
ignore the meeting last night as they
milled around the outside of Madi-
son Square Garden under the watch
full eyes of $500 policemen. Out
breaks of fighting resulted in the
arrest of 13 of the outsiders, while
dissenters among the estimated TO-
OOG inside the hall were involved in
comparable disorders. One attempt
ed to attack Fritz Kuhn, Bund lead
er. on the speakers platform, but was
overcome and arrested.
Would Check Doctrines.
Senator Bankhead declared Il am
against attempts to spread the doc
trines and theories of Fascism or
Hitler in this country. I don't be-
lieve in letting foreigners stay in this
country, even if naturalized, when
they try to destroy our American
Government"
One Republican Senator, who
asked. tina. his name not be used,
said II detest this kind of meeting,
but I'd fight like hell to let them
hold it."
Representative Healey, Democrat,
of Massachusetts,, a member of the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities, said:
Il deplore all gatherings assem-
bled under the banners of organiza-
tions not strictly devoted to the
advancement of America and the
objectives of our democracy. Such
energies might better be directed,
particularly at this time, toward the
advancement of democracy and
AmericaniSm"
Senator Holman, Republican, of
Oregon, member of the Senate
immigration Committee, said the
New York disturbance had raised q
question in his mind whether or
not immigration should be stopped
altogether until we can assimilate
the discordant elements already
here"
He said he viewed with "increas-
ing apprehension" the division of
our American people into groups
that concern themselves with ques-
tions of nationality, race and creed,
whereas in truth and fact we should
be solely American citizens"
Senator Gurney, Republican, of
South Dakota declared There isn't
any sense in having these bunds in
this country. I don't think we
ought to allow it,
Asserting he did not approve of
the bund or any of its activities,
Senator Lee, Democrat, of Okla
homa said, however, he believed it
was wise to permit such organiza-
tions to hold public meetings with
out interference.
