BERLIN, Dec. 23.-Official Ger

rotary was wanting today, but au-

Regarding Eden's past, we GER

Churchill has found in Eden a man
who corresponds to his own policy

This commentator charged Mr..
Eden with having been the chief
factor in rendering impossible all
Adolf Hitler's efforts to come to an
arrangement with England In the
German mind, he said, Prime Min

Duff Cooper, British Minister of

to replace Lord Halifax as foreign
secretary as a victory for the young
Conservatives in British politics,
who ARE anxious to take" the place
of Prime Minister Churchill.
$50 the lean Lord Halifax has
been put out of the government with
the excuse of a mission to WASH
ington," Piccolo said. Thus the
hope of little group of young Con-
servatives is achieved and the lord
known as the Holy Fox-this time
lost out.

cabinet the last representative OF

Complications Seen
By Gayda if U. 5.
Yields Axis Ships
America Has Every
Interest to Stay Out
Of War, Editor Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, Dec. 23.-The possibility Of
complications" with the Rome
Berlin Toxic Axis if the United
States lets Britain get belligerents
merchant ships refuged in Ameri-
can harbors was suggested yester-
day by Virginia Gayda Fascist edi-
tor who often reflects official opin-
ion.
1T could not be imagined" Gayda
wrote in the newspaper La Voce
DItalia, that these more or less
clandestine North American inter-
ventions in the war would continue
in the long run without complica-
tons with reference to the three
power pact of Berlin"
The three-poWer pact binds its
signatories to one-for-al and all
for-one war on any new belligerent
entering either the war against them
in Europe or in China. Thus, Gayda
leaves the implication that delivery
of the ships might be construed by
the Axis as an act of war, position
also taken in Germany.
Sees British Shipping Doomed.
Gaydas statement was preceded
Saturday by assertions in Informed
but unofficial Italian political quar-
tiers that delivery of axis ships to
Britain by the United States would
be "unfriendly" and "unneutral."
Gayda said the British request for
American shipping as well as his
suggestion that ships of the axis
powers be confiscated showed grow
ing hunger and disarmament in
Britain under the axis counter
blockade, air bombardments and
attacks by land, sea and air.
ct may be said that England
would not succeed in this way,
either, in prolonging little longer
and with heavier expense the bur-
den on its Atlantic shipping, now
doomed" Gayda declared.
1T may be added that England in
this way would succeed in dragging
into the conflict the United States,
which, after all, has every interest
to stay out of it.
Policies Are Cited.
at is the habit of British policy
to disregard scruples and the in
terests of other nations in order to
have them sharing the risks and
calling on them to bear the expenses.
ut is not the habit of the Ameri-
can Government to give itself up
imprudently to useless complications
which would transform good earn
ings into the danger of serious
losses"
However friendly toward Britain,
Gayda said, the United States
could never" show it to her own
interest to mix in the European con-
flict against the new European
forces of the future"

SO, chief government whip in Com
mons
Additional cabinet changes were
expected by some observers, includ-
ing possibly the appointment of
World War Premier David Lloyd
George to the government.
Halifax Former Viceroy.
Schooled at aristocratic Elton and
Oxford and tested in the colonial
administration, Lord Halifax first
came into the world limelight as
the British Viceroy in India from
1926 to 1881, when he held down the
lid while midas millions seethed
through the civil disobedience cam
paign.
Stanley Baldwin, the "abdication
premier" then intrusted him with
the leadership of the House of Lords.
When British policy underwent its
shift to so-called appeasement dur
ing the winter of 1878, it was
Lord Halifax who laid the ground
work for direct contact with Hitler.
In November, 1887, while Mr.. Eden
still was Foreign Secretary, Lord
Halifax visited Germany for a talk
with the Fuehrer. On November II
he was closeted with Hitler at the
Berchtesgaden retreat.
Eight days later Mr.. Chamberlain
acknowledged the Semi-official char
acter of the visit with the state
ment in Commons that the talks
were "of confidential character"
Other Important Posts.
Besides his five years as Viceroy
of India, Lord Halifax's long record
of public service includes two pres
idencies of the Board of Education,
Minister of Agriculture, Minister OF
War in 1885, Lord Privy Seal and
leader of the House of Lords.
The handsome Eden was educated
at Elton and oxford, served brilliant
ly in the World War to win the rank
of brigade major at the age CT q
and the Military Gross.
The son of q Yorkshire squire, Mr..
Eden incurred the undying enmity
of Premier Mussolini of Italy when
he led the League of Nations sane
tons campaign against Italy over
the Ethiopian affair.
Mr.. Eden's friends gave MusSolinl
a share of the credit in causing Mr..
Eden's downfall from the Foreign
Office in 1888 when Mr. Chamber
lain started Britain on the road to
Cancellation to avoid 1.-The frighttul
question of war" and repudiated the
League of Nations
Mr.. Churchill was among many
who deplored Mr.. Eden's resigna-
ton at that time in a stormy House
of Commons debate. Now Mr.. Eden
returns to the fold to work even
more closely with Mr.. Churchill.
Removes Last Chamberlain Aide.
The succession of Lord Halifax to
the post left vacant by the death
of Lord Lothian removes the last
great figure in the London govern
ment associated with Mr.. Chamber
lain in the appeasement policy.
The press generally acclaimed the
appointment, but there was a minor
questioning note such as the Labor
tie Daily Herald's comment that ION
the score of his political past we
confess to some reserve on the wis
dom of this appointment"
The Times, however, said, THAT
Lord Halifax will be more than wei
come in Washington there can be
no doubt whatever"
The appointment of Capt. Mar
gesson to succeed Mr.. Eden in the
War Office came as something OF a
surprise. He has been chief gov
