ish government contemplated in
PRODUCING national CONSUMPTION.
France had been pressing Brit
ain for many months to impose
CONSUMPTION as an unmistakable
notification to the totalitarian ma
tons that the policy of appease-
ment now was backed by the man
power of Great Britain. Import
ant elements in Great Britain are
backing the Consumption proposal,
and in both houses of parliament
there had been introduced motions
demanding it.
Informants here expressed be-
lief that Britain intended to tell
Hitler that CONSUMPTION would not
be an anti-German move. The
suggestion also was made That
Great Britain had informed France
that il thought it better to send
Ambassador Henderson back per-
sonally TO tell Hitler the conscrip-
ton plan news in hope of soften
ing what must be a blow.

What's Going
on in Europe:

ITALY-With Hungary already
securely tied to the Rome-Berlin
axis, the Italian government made
important progress in negotia-
tions with Yugoslavia, leading to
a statement that the Belgrade gov
eminent would cooperate with
Rome both politically and econom-
ically and limiting that it might
later Join the anti-communist pact.
BRITAIN With hope of Spain
swinging away from the totali-
tarians almost abandoned, Great
Britain and France concentrated
on bringing Rumania firmly into
their anti-aggression front and in
completing negotiations with Tur-
key and Soviet Russia.
POLAND-The Polish adherence
to the anti aggression bloc was
emphasized by indications the gov
eminent would aid Esthonia in
event it's security is threatened
and both Poland and Rumania APP
peared more willing to accept
pledges from Russia.
DANZIG-An indication that the
Free City of Danzig would be re-
turned to Germany before long
was seen in the inauguration Of
the new Polish corridor railroad,
parelleling the German frontier
to the port of Gyndia, which was
built to offset Danzis.
GERMANY - Hitler continued
to receive answers to the ques-
tionnaire he sent to many small
countries asking if they felt them
selves menaced by Germany, bu'
some of them provided poor am
munition for his reply to Presi
dent Roosevelt. Egypt, Rumania
Norway. the Netherlands ant
Switzerland were among thos'
which qualified their mo" will
doubt about the future or witt
expressions of their readiness Il
fight.
SPAIN - The Franco Govern
ment announced plans to return
millions of dollars worth of prop
erty to former King Alfonso, pos
sibly as prelude to restoration
of the monarchy under Prince Dol
Juan.

finding his first sawmill employ
ment in a mill at Latoureile Falls,

omin river at Cathlamet. WASH
ington, and for IL years was iden-
titled with the Columbia river
operation of Oregon Timber a.

trolled. 1t was here he conceived
the idea of steam loading donkey,
one of which he had built by Pu-
get Sound Iron d Steel Works.

HERE'S MORE A BO UT
PEACE OR WAR

a mere accident might explode the
entire arsenal.
Second - The totalitarian bloc
has been strengthened beyond ex-
pectation by the attitude of STRAIT
egic Spain. 1t is also assured OF
the cooperation of Hungary. iugo-
slavia and. possibly, Bulgaria.
This lineup puts the Nazi-Fascist
bloc on an equal footing with any
other combination of powers, ex-
cept that the bloc faces the prob
ability of steadily decreasing COM
parative strength.
Since Munich the situation
has changed. Britain and
France have armed and sought
allies. Their peoples have
been prepared. Public anger
| has been aroused.
What is even more important,
the real issue behind the facade
of slogans about democracy and
dictatorship has become the same
basic and realistic issue that led
to the World war. 1t is the strug-
gle for power - economic power
primarily. but, necessarily, politi-
cal power, too - between Great
Britain and Germany.
That shaking down Of the inter.
national struggle to fundamentals
has caused the experts to change
their estimate of the outlook since
the Nazi destruction Of Czecho'
slovakia ended hopes of appease'
ment. In February. they agreet
with the private statement of
prominent American diplomat II
Europe that the chances Of wal
were ''fifty-fifty."
To-day. men who direct for
eign policy In Great Britain
say the odds for war are "dis-
quietingiy great" In WASH
ington. . highly responsible

the chances of war were ten
10 one before President Roosc-
yelt's peace message. ana sre

wide resignation TO the inevitable
ity of conflict. but AUTHORITATIVE
sources in Paris believe the actio
of Britain and France towar'

they will fight weighs heasal

it was announced last Monday.
Ahmed Williams, instructor
Of music. who was to be in char

the contest had been cancelled
because several schools in the
northern part Of the state, also
some in the central portion, will
ONLY have eight months of school
making it impossible for them
to carry out the contests in their

contests in the state have been
eliminated.
