London, rTarCh l9.-(AP)-Primc
Minister Chamberlain declared today
that Britain had taken up arms TO
obtain a moral peace as defined Sat-
urday by President Roosevelt and
added that I'VE intend to fight until
it has been secured"
The prime minister told Il packed
and frequently cheering House of
Commons that Sumner Welles, the
Presidents emissary. had been able
"to see for himself the unity of pur-
pore with which we all are inspired"
Whatever the outcome of yester-
days meeting of Adolf Hitler and
Rcnito MuGSoini, Chamberlain said
Britain is prepared to meet it.
He gave graphic account of Bri-
tain's help to Finland and prepara-
tons to send British-French ex-
Evolutionary force of about 100000
men.
I'VE are not likely to be diverted
from the purpose for which we en-

Then, in sarcastic tone, he added
of the Hitler Mussolni meeting:
Cor all l know these gentlemen

italian ship was destroyed yesterday
by German mine"
The prime minister said the Fin
nish expedition had been approved
by the allied supreme war council

der, had asked for it to arrive.
Chamberlain said that Manner
helm in mid-January informed the
British he did not require men then,

Rift In NIB
Opinion Aired

Washington, March 19.-(AP)-
william L. Leiserson accused his two
colleagues on the National Labor
Board today of upsetting rather than
encouraging collective bargaining re-
iationships by one of their decisions.
Leiserson dissented from a major
ity opinion ordering the McQuay-
Norris Manufacturing Company Oh
indianapolis to incorporate in a sign
ed agreement with United Auto
Workers (CIO) a clause giving the
union exclusive recognition as bar
gaining agent.
The board majority-Chairman j.
Warren Madden and Edwin S. Smith
held that the company had failed
to engage in collective bargaining as
contemplated by the Wagner act
through refusing to write such a
clause in the agreement. The unions
majority status, they said, was con-
coded by the company.
The two board members said the
company agreed in 1888 to a con-
tract clause recognizing the union as
sole bargaining agent for its men,
bers and promising to deal WIN no
other agent except individual or
groups OF employees.

s enator Bankhead
Says Roosevelt Recog-
nized That Congress
Might Have To Make
Provision For Such
Expenditures.

Washington, March l9.-(AP(-
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, Ala
bama, told the Senate today that
President Roosevelt, although he did
not asi; for ''parity" payments to
farmers when he submitted his bud
get. had recognized that Congress
might have TO make provision for
such expenditures.
Bankfead urged that the Senate
approve the action Of its appropria-
ton committee IN adding S212,000,-
600 to the agriculture department
bill to aid farmers in raising their
purchas ne power toward the pre-
world var levels of 1904.
The Alabama senator said the
Presidents views had been made
known in his January budget mes
sage when Mr. Roosevelt pointed
out that While he had made no pro-
vision for payments such OUTLAWS
might be found to be necessary if
farm prices did not advance as eX-
pgcted.
The President, among others, APP
parcnty thought that the war in
Furone might raise farm prices to
the point where parity payment
would not be needed" Bankhead
said.
This has not yet taken place and
may not" he said, urging that the
money be made available for any
emergency. Bankhead contended
that the income of raiSerS OF cotton,
wheat. corn, rice and tobacco last
year still was $500, 900 below
pre-world war levels despite pay
mcnts made in 1889.

"Nothing more than that think

available to the President and have
been carefully read and analysed by
him, there seems to be no basis in
fact for reports published in Rome,

give an authoritative basis for peace;
that the publication of those reports
should not change the opinions of
newspaper readers Of this country
or others by giving them hone for
