had been betrayed" But war
had been averted.
Chamberlain received a tre-
mendous popular welcome when
he returned to London. King
George VI thanked him. His
appeasement policy was called a
personal triumph.
His name was on every ones
lips. The cartoonists had a field
day. The tall, somberly dressed
statesman. carrying his ever
present umbrella. was pictured
in the. press of the world. His
umbrella became at once a sym
bol of peace and the object OF
jibes by news commentator.
But the rejoicing in England
had scarcely died down-amid
some misgivings-when the pic
ture began to change. Hitler's
troops were on the march;
Czechoslovakia was dissolved
and brought under Gerrnany's
wing.
Hitler's action was rude blow
to Chamberlain. But, with
French backing, he launched a
peace front" against aggression.
Guarantees of protection against
unprovoked attack were ex-
tended to Poland, Turkey, Ru-
mania and Greece.
Then, just when efforts by
England and France to WOO
Soviet Russia into a treaty SEEM
ed bright, the world was as
toniShed when the Soviet-Ger-
man pact was announced. Ger
many's invasion of Poland fol-
lowed soon thereafter and an
other European war, less than a
year after the Munich pact.

Beautiful Costumes
For Imaginary Invalid

Lavish French colonial cos
tunes of silk and velvet in bril-
liant colors will characterize the
Key West High School Dramatic
Clubs production of Moliere's
Imaginary Invalid" on Novem-
Der %.
Members of the club expect to
produce the most beautiful cos
tune play ever given at the high
school.
Wigs and other accessories will
be obtained from a Miami cos
tuner but the costumes them
selves will be made almost en-
tirely by club members.
The women's costumes of the
French Colonial period had grace
full flowing skirts and quaint
panniers. The gentlemen wore
long-skirted coats and knee
trousers.
Rich with laces and fur, these
costumes of silks and velvets will
contrast strikingly with the
luxurious furnishings of the
household of Monsieur Argan, the
Imaginary invalid, who was a
18th Century French gentleman.
The committee in charge of
the costumes consists of: Grace
Perez. Laudlina Perez, Florence
Boza, Florence, Adams and Flea

CHAMBERLAIN
DIED SATURDAY

ister met them with outward
calm.
As the German war machine
rumbled over Poland, Norway,
Denmark, the Netherlands, and
Belgium, criticism at home be-
came more voluble and insistent
Re-shufflings of the cabinet fol-
lowed. Winston Churchill was
named as war co-ordinator and
the tempo was stepped UP.
During the fighting in Norway,
Chamberlain proclaimed he was
more confident of victory than
ever-that Hitler had missed
the bus"
But criticism could not be stiff
fled. In the House of Commons
the opposition taunted him to his
face that he himself had missed
the bus"
Finally, on May 10, 1910, he
resigned and Churchill moved in
to No. 19 Downing street
Churchill, who held him in af-
.fectionate regard, despite some
fundamental differences, retained
him in his cabinet as Lord Presi-
dent of the Council"
But his influence was waning;
there were demands that he step
out of the government altogether.
On top of this he underwent a
serious operation for an alb
dominal ailment. He returned to
his duties after a long rest, his
health below par, and on Oct. 3,
1910 resigned-a worn, tired old
man, but with a stout heart.
In more peaceful times he was
perhaps best known for his work
as chancellor of the exchequer
and when Stanley Baldwin re-
tired as prime minister in 1887 he
was regarded as his logical sue
ceSSor.
Chamberlain took over the re-
sponsibilities at time when war
talk was prevalent in Europe;
when undeclared war ragged be-
tween Japan and China. Spain
was torn with a bitter civil war
in which Germany and Italy had
intervened in behalf of the
Fascists.
Delicate diplomatic incidents,
involving Britain and her ally,
France, rose on several fronts.
He steadfastly pursued his policy
of appeasement; sought by every
means to win the friendship of
Germany and Italy. AS a result,
Anthony Eden, his foreign secre-
tary, resigned
Lord Halifax took over his
portfolio but Chamberlain in eff
feet became the acting foreign
minister.
In the midst of growing ten
sion, Germany annexed Austria
and Hitler continued to scrap the
treaty of Versailles. The Sudeten
Germans in Czechoslovakia
brought the situation to a head
in September, 1898 with their de-
mands for Self-determination.
Danger signals flew. The Ger
man army was poised; the Czech
army was ready.
At this juncture, when the
world held its breath, Chamber
lain dramatically made three
trips by airplane-he had never
flown before-to meet Hitler
face to face. The Munich pact of
Sept. 80, 1888 was the outcome.
Czechoslovakia was called upon
to meet the Sudeten demands;
Germany and Britain agreed not
to war against each other.
Repercussions were immediate.
Criticism came from England and

 The vindication came from eight members of a Harvard-sponsored expedition who returned. on the liner veragua after retracing Col iunbus' route across the Atlantic in two sailboats and checking what they saw against his journals.
 Prof. Samuel Eliot Morrison head ed the group and his verdict on the latter-day debunking school. which contends Columbus was less than he claimed, was nonsense"
 He said the expedition studeid historical records in Italy and then sailed by way of Lisbon, the Azores and the Canary Islands. Everything Columbus wrote checked the fact that the seaweed inside St Ann,s Bay, Jamaica. was browner
