aid victims of aggression in Eastern Europe only If France
and Britain first have gone the aid of such victims and
are actually at war Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
declared TODAY in the House of Commons.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-05-10

Chamberlain said a communlque
by the official Soviet Tass news
agency was based on a misunder-
standing. The Tass statement said
Russia was expected to aid Britain
and France, but nothing was said
in the British proposal about re-
ciprocal aid TO Russia if she is
drawn into war in fulfillment OF
her obligations.
Chamberlain indicated he reject
ed the Soviet proposal for mill
tary alliance of Britain, France
and Russia. saying that Britain,
after consultation with France. hao
pointed out to the Soviets certain
difficulties brought up by the So
Wet proposal.
Previously, R. A Butler, foreign
undersecretary, told a queStioner
that Britain still is opposed to the
three power alliance.
Chamberlain recalled that Britain
had pledged assistance to several
European nations in pursuance o.
the British policy Of helping them
to defend their independence. He
limited that any British proposal
for similar Soviet pledge would
have aroused the opposition OF

boys were going to start a rally.

on and nobody out. Then this
boy Kehm went to work and struck
out the next three batters. Lee

the batter. He called it 3 strikes
when the pitched had only deliver

The imp didn't win the ball game
for Florence, he only helped a
little. The whole trouble was that
the boys just couldn't hit the
apple when hits meant runs. One
thing was unusual during the en-
tire ball game.
Hall, the short stopper had one
chance and he handled it like a
champ. He threw his man out by
four steps. Charley Crump and
Clannie Lee. Also Young played
the outfield like real champs. They
got everything that came their
way. The sun got in Young's eye.
He had to miss the ball. Not his
