Then They Must Die

What TIE ultimate result may be
OF Sumner Welies' juniet across
Europe in his search for a peace
formula cannot be forecast at the
moment. for ne has just started
MS round OF the capitals OF the war
ring nations and those OF some OF
the neutralS. 1t might be just as
well. however, not to build hopes
too high.
To attempt to halt hoStilitleS and
10 tlnd an earthly resting place
again for the snowy white dove is
a high and noble ambition. Peace
loving people will lit their hearts
N supplicatlon and earnest desire
that success may crown his efforts.
News from government seats on
the opposing sides, however, is any
thing but hopeful so far. Speculation
began immediately it was an
noutnced in Washington that the
trip was planned. And about all that
could be heard from belligcrcnt cen
ters was that Mr.. Welles would be
courteously received.
On the same day-last Saturday,
to be specific - Prime Minister
Chamberlain in London and Adolf
Hitler in Germany made speeches,
and each reiterated again what he
called the holy cause Of his arms,
and shouted that there would be no
peace without complete victory and
until the enemy WAS crushed; or
words to that effect.
Now that the American cmissary
mas started his round Of calls, this
note becomes more pronounced.
There is seeming indifference in
London, Paris and Berlin. In
authoritative circles ear, are deal
and sentiment indifferent to any
thing and everything but the
achievement Of fixed goals and pur-
poses. A measuring Of armed might
+ appear to be the only course that
! will satisfy.
So dcep-Seated is the professed
confidence IN victory on both sides
that each will hear to nothing but
! d test Of strength, winch means

HURLEY HACKERS ARE
STILL CONFIDENT
Arrival of Tone Before
Convention Has Changed
Aspect Of Things

Reports that Joseph M.
Tone would support the gu
bernatorial candidacy of ex-
Governor Wilbur L. Cross
were heard today as the
former State Labor Commits
Sioner sped from Chicago by
plane to confer with DR..
Cross at New Haven. Some
sources claimed that an eff
fort was being made to pro-
pose a ticket of Cross for
governor and Tone for lieutenant
governor. with the Democratic
state convention scheduled to begin
tomorrow at New Haven, observers
were attaching great importance to
the Cross-Tone conference.
Sources close to the former COVER
nor said that Mr.. Tone personally
favored his denomination but would
not comment about the possibility
of Cross Tone ticket. It was point
ed out that Mr.. Tone, who holds q
federal labor post in Washington, Is
bound by the Hatch Act ard would
be unable to run for office himself
or even to campaign actively for ex-
Governor Cross without resigning.
Hurley Backers Insist
Backers of Public Works Commits
sioner Robert Hurley continued to
insist that he is assured of the CUB
ernatorial nomination. Both sides
were lining up their forces for the
convention battle.
j. Francis Smith, leader Of the
Cross supporters, said he knew that
Mr.. Tone was in New Haven, but
did not know the nature of his con-
ference with DIR. Cross. Mr.. Smith
repeated an earlier declaration that
he seeks only the nomination Of the
former governor, and has made no
attempt to consider the filling OF
other places on the ticket.
The unexpected arrival Of Tone
came as complete surprise, since
he had not been expected to take
any part of the convention or the
campaign. The most surprising feat
