Is Under Fire

WASHINGTON - Sen. Bennett
Champ Clark. D.. Mo-. a member
OF the senate foreign relations
committee. said that James crom-
well. u. s. minister to Canada, has
committed by his remarks Tuesday
at Toronto, Canada. IAN out
rageous and disgraceful breach Of
his Office" and ought to be re-
called.
CLARK made the statement after
being informed that Cromwell had
criticized American isolationists,
and warned that Germany frankly
and openly seeks to destroy" the
institutions and social and eco
nomic order upon which the United
States Ii founded.
IAN American diplomat making
such a statement as that ought to
be recalled" Clark said. Those
beautiful Canadian dinners evil
IDENTIFY have gone to his head"
Clark doubted that the minister
would be recalled because he has
been confirmed by the senate and
nobody can recall him but the
president Of the United States"
Other comment:
Sen. Claude Pepper, D., Fla:
II doubt very much IL he should
have said 1t, but I'm glad he did.
What everybody knows even a
diplomat might know"
Sen. Gerald p. Nye, r., N. D.:
Hes only echoing what his chief
has repeatedly resorted to. though
being at the head Of a government
reputedly striving for neutrality"
Sen. Walter r. George, D., Ca:
II think he's unduly excited"

them to let you receive this young

The fur fashion picture for 1940-
41 tells a story of little furs occu-
pying a big place in the winter
scene and revolutionizing it some
what by new Jacket length. A new
magic length, 80 inches, will set
the pace for smartnesS and chic
this season. and the new wrist
length coats have been styled not
only for high fashion, but also for
warmth.
And the fact that they are more
universally becoming than the
shorter jackets or chubbies is an
other note in their favor. Still an
other feature worth mentioning is
the fact that these new type jack
cts are shown in a variety of less
expensive furS which have been
styled and treated to look very
grand indeed.
LAMB SUITED WELL
Manton lamb is one of the furs
in this class which is extremely
well suited to the new role. One
very striking ensemble topped by a
Jacket of Manton consists of a
muted turquoise and wine plaid
dress of wool and hood of Manton
lined with the plaid This outfit is
especially suitable for early au-
tumn football games, and minus
the hood, the jacket makes as
splendid all-purpose coat.
AS in the shorter and longer
coats natural shoulders, tuxedo
fronts, small collars and interest
ing loose-f fitting sleeves character
ize these brief jackets. The flatte1
furs are the most popular although
the chunky jacket has not last

She would feel lost if SHE did
