not seeking to dominate Europe or

of Britain's resolve to oppose "by all

procedure.
British Resistance Hinted.
Speaking in the House of Com
mons in reply to a question by Op-
position Leader Clement R. Attlee
whether he had any further state
ment to make on the European sit
uation, Mr.. Chamberlain declared: !:
His majesty's government have
already made clear that the re-
cent actions of the German gov
ernment have raised the question
whether that government is not
seeking by successive efforts to DOM
mate Euprope and perhaps even to
go further"
The Prime Minister added: Were
this Interpretation of the intentions
OF the German government to prove
correct, his majesty's government
feel bound to say that as similar
attempts have done in the past this
would rouse the successful resistance
of this and other countries who
prize their freedom"
Mr.. Chamberlain rejected a sug-

NEW YORK, March 73.-James J.

politics for 26 years, was sentenced
today to four to eight years i'm
prisonment on his conviction on
lottery conspiracy charges in con-
nection with the late Dutch Schultz's
aumbers racket. His lawyer said
he would appeal.
Judge Charles c. Mott, jr., sus-
pended sentence of one to two years
on the first count in the 13-count
indictment, q misdeameanor charg-

four felony counts he sentenced the
TammalIy district leader to not less
than one year nor more than two
years, the sentences to run consecu-
lively. On the last eight felony
counts Hines received one to two
years, to run concurrently with the
previous felony count sentences.
Severer Penalties in Other Cases.
If it were not for your age"
said Judge Mott, in passing sentence,
Il would not be so lenient with you.
The evidence showed you were paid
at least $4,000 annually to protect
this vicious racket, and in all previ-
GUS cases of this type that have
come before me have been much
more stringent"
Hines was pale and nervous as
sentence was passed. He adjusted
and readjusted his glasses. His
lawyer, Lloyd Paul Stryker, blanched,
too, as Judge Mott announced the
sentence.
Stryker made two routine motions
to dismiss. Both were denied. He
told the court Hines had co-operated

President Holds
waterways Work
Essential 10 Defense
Rivers Congress Told
Development Should
Be Rational

With world events leading this
country to expand its national de-
tense system, President Roosevelt
today declared that rational de-
velopment" of waterways is essential
to the safety and defense Of the
| Nation"
This message from the Chief
Executive was communicated to the
National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress at its 34th annual convention
at the Mayf1ower Hotel.
The President. however, was care
ful to distinguish between worthy
projects" and "unsound" projects
and did not commit the administra-
ton to wholesale program of ex-
penditures in this direction. His
message was read at a luncheon
meeting shortly after the necessity
for waterways had been stressed by
Maj. Gen. Julian L. Schley, chief
of Army engineers, at the morning
session.
1T seems to me-" wrote the Presi-
dent, that the great strides we
have made during the past six years
and the effective development of
our waterways and the solution of
f1ood-control problems are in no
small measure due to the compre-
hensive and integrated program
developed and forwarded by the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress.
Proper deliberation that leads to
sponsorship Of the worthy projects
and omission of the unsound can
only result in lasting economy to the
people and permanent benefits to
the welfare Of the Nation.
Lauds Organisations Work.
1T is gratifying at a time when
world events force us to attend more
closely our system Of national de-
fense to know that your organization
has through the years of its exist
ance advocated q rational develop
ment Of our waterways, an element
of our communication system es-
sential to the safety and defense of
the Nation.
II congratulate you on all you
have achieved in the past and urge
that you continue to approach your
task with vision and foresight"
Mr.. Roosevelt, in his letter to
former Representative william J.
Driver Of Arkansas, president Of the
congress, regretted he could not
attend the session.
Maj. Gen. Julian L. Schley, chief
Of Army Engineers, today stressed
the need for development of the
Nations waterway program as an
aid to national defense"
Gen. Schley said:
I'VE cannot tell when we shall be
engaged In armed conflict again. We
do not know whether our efforts to
preserve the Nation in the next war
will be restricted to the continental
limits Of the country. But we do
know that sound program demands

analyze your case: You are in a
position financially to take the
whole year off from work if you
like, so why not do as your doc
tors advise and consent to the OPP
Grafton that will add years to your
life. They have exhausted every
effort trying to cure you without
the operation and l honestly feel
that you are being narrOw-minded
BY neglecting your health. You
have nothing whatever to fear.
NJ. L. TT am in love with a
man and l know he is a big story
teller. He is having an affair with
another woman, but said he wasn't,
and l called and found it to be
true. Tell me, does he love this
other woman or does he love me?
Ans: Well, sad as it might seem
to you, he doesn't love the other
girl, nor does he love you. He is
the type man that can't be salts
fled with just one girl; he insists
on being a dashing Romeo to every
girl that will give him a chance.

bility of his changing.

and your column is the one thing
that's most interesting to me. My
boy friend and l made plans to
be married and we quit few weeks
ago. What should 1 do and what
should ! look forward to?
Ans: If a misunderstanding had
to arise, it is best that it came up
before marriage instead of after
marriage. You think you have
been hurt, but not nearly as bad
as if you two were married. The
man still loves you, but due to his
stubborn disposition will not tell
you so unless you go out of your
way to bring it about.

the next two weeks and will /

should l do?

can find something to do if you

be at least another month before
you will be in a position to redeem
