WELLES LEAVES
TONIGHT FOR HOME

ROME, Mar. 19.-Under-Secre-
tary of State Sumner WelleS was
scheduled to leave for home to-
night aboard the Italian Liner
Rex. He spent most of the day
today keeping himself available
for a call from MuSsolini in the
hopes that more information
might be gained about the Brene
ner Pass conference held last
weekend. i'li
It was stated here that know
ledge of an eleven-point peace
proposal recently advanced by
Hitler was had by some authori-
ties, presumed to be officials of
Vatican City. The belief existed
that more of that program would
be divulged following Welles'
return to the United States and
the conferences to follow with
President Roosevelt. The thought
here was strong that definite
moves to bring peace in Europe
might be started when all infor-
nation mas been presented 50 the
u. S. State Department. !.

affair held last evening at club
quarters on Trumbo Island, and
a good crowd of members, in
Guiding all officials, and mem
bers of the crew and personnel
of four visiting yachts were on
hand to celebrate the occasion.
Members of the club, while
appearing crestfallen at not be-
ing able to hold "reminiscences
about a completed and success
ful' yacht race, nevertheless,
pitched in to entertain the visit
ing yachtsmen and yachtswomen,
at the same time exhibiting
genuine pride in the clubs first
"open house" to visitors in their
new quarters.
And the weather, as if in
mockery, was perfect for the af-
fair, providing an anti-climax to
the weekend's scurry and worry
in endeavoring to get the race
started from Havana. Contrary
to the stiff breeze that acted up
to cause race cancellation-last
night, there was none, which
added up just that much more
towards a highly successful
party.
Members of the crews of the
Stormy Weather, Gulf Stream,

boat getting in yesterday, were
present at the party and all voted

WASHINGTON. Mar. Is. -
White House secretary. Stephen
Early. today told the press that
reports on the Hitler ussolini
conference held at Bremen Pass
over last weekend were now
coming in. but that the informa-
ton seems to point out no hope
for immediate peace possibilities.
According to Diplomatic dis
patches, the talks between the
two leaders of the Rome-6eriin
axis had to do chiefly with pro-
lection of German and Italian in
terest in the conduct of the war
in the future. Also discussed, it
was thought, was the necessity
of keeping the Balkan states neu-
tral-a move that was reported
to be favorably looked upon by
Russia.
Ultimate aims of Germany and
Italy, it was stated, may have
been a part of the conference
subject, with accent on Hitler's
determination to carry on the
war to "break Britain's imperial
ism, to recover the colonies TAX
en- away from Germany at the
end of the World War. and flu

CONTROL OF SWEDEN IN
NOT ALLOWING AL
LIED HELP WAS KEY
TO SOVIET VICTORY
(By Associated Press)


LONDON. Mar. Is. - Prime
Minister Chamberlain today re-
vealed that the British people
were all the more bitter against
Hitler and the Nazis following
the fall of a large part of Fin
land TO Russia.
The bitterness was felt because
of the fact that pressure was ex-
erted by the Nazis on Sweden to
not permit Allied troops to pass
through that country on the way
to Finland's aid.
Chamberlain indicated that the
way may yet open to provide
aid to the Firms.
Sweden, on the other hand,
was absolved of all blame in the
Finn disaster, in that British
officials fully realized the jeo-
pardy she was in of being drawn
into the war by disobeying Nazi
commands in regard to absolute
neutrality.
This city received reports to-
day from Paris indicating that a
firmer front in the war against
Germany would follow Daladier's
answer to widespread demands
that war cabinet be formed
which would consist of men of
known achievement ability rather
than politicians. The news was
of important moment to England,
in that this country was engaged
in a definite campaign to more
actively push the war on the
West Front.
