EMISSIONS BIG REWARD
Proposes Peacetime FEEDER
alton OF European Or
World Countries
By DREW

LONDON, Jan. 9. Up Prime
Minister Chamberlain warned Great
Britain's people f%ervently today
that they are approaching "a phase
of this war much grimmer than
anything we have seen yet" but
envisaged a reward for their sacri-
fices in a peacetime federation OF
European or world nations built
upon British French collaboration.
AS if timed to match his warn
ing Germany's warplanes swept
down upon British coasts, attack
ing eleven ships, wounding at least
80 men with machine-gun fire and
sinking a Danish vessel.
Speaks At Luncheon
The silvery-haired, 70-year-old
prime minister spoke at a Lord
Mayors luncheon at Mansion House
in the ancient "City Of London.
He had lost none of his voice and
gesture, and his emotion was of a
dramatic quality. It was the first
of a series of retaliation" speeches
by which his altered government
seeks to bring home to the people
what they are up against in their
conflict against what Chamberlain
called the powers of ~wickedness.'
Chamberlain did not mention the
overwhelming sensation of last
week-end-the removal from the
cabinet of Leslie Hore-Belisha, the
war secretary.
Ascendant in the war cabinet,
meantime, is vital Winston Church
ill. Sources close to the government
indicated that his appointment as
head of a new ministry of defense
may be expected, which would
greatly expand his present func-
lions as first lord Of the admiralty.
Began In Parliament
Trustworthy military sources like
wise cast a new slant on Hore-Beli-
sha's resignation. Instead of a row
with the army "old guard" they in.
sisted, the whole thing began in a
recent secret session Of parliament
itself.
An official communique tonight
also disclosed that a majority on the
war cabinet, early in December, had
placed royal air force units in
France under the command of a
single air force officer, thus ap'
parently overriding Hore-Belisha.
He is reported to have wanted army
control.
The new air force officer-com-
manding-in-chief in France, Air Mar
shall Arthur S. Barratt, will be re
sponsible to the British air minis

R00SEVELT'S AIMS
FOR PEACE TALKED
Nations Chief Confers With
Leaders OF Three
Large Churches

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. - R -
Word that President Roosevelt has
both ideas and ideals on restoring
peace in the world came today from
two conferences at the White House.
at the first, Mr.. Roosevelt talked
with leaders of the Lutheran Sew
enth Day Adventist, and northern
and southern Baptist churches about
his designation of Myron Taylor to
work with the Vatican for peace.
One Of the churchmen, DR.. Rufus
w. Weaver, chairman of the south
ern Baptists public relations COM
mittee, said they got the impression
Mr.. Roosevelt wouldn't have taken
this action unless he cherished
some hopes for peace-hopes that
might find some practical encour-
agement by spring."
Later, at a press conference, the
chief executive said he would not
put it quite that way. He added that
he merely had set forth ideals that
should not, at present be reduced
to factual language.
He said he had admonished the
group to say nothing Of his peace
detectives because he did not want
them regarded as IA points for peace
or any other number of points. This
was an obvious reference to Presi-
dent Wilson's World War peace
proposal.
Mr.. Roosevelt also disclosed that
he was considering can of extend
ing assistance to Finland in her war
against Russia.
Reporters mentioned proposals in
congress for sending 100000, 900 to
Finland and making available the
army's new Garand rifle. Mr.. Roose-
welt was asked whether he had
anything to say about them.
He responded that he could not
do so yet, but that he probably
would have something to say next
week. He said he was talking It
over with the state department.
In calling the church leaders to
the White House today, Mr.. Roose-
welt said his purpose was the same
as in sending Taylor to Europe and
as in recent conferences here with
representatives of the Jewish faith
and the federal council Of church
es of Christ.
They were invited in, he said, to
be told that an honest attempt was
being made to mobilize all churches
of the world into an informal as.
ISOLATION in the hope that when and
if the time came for a discussion OF
peace, the influence of the churches
could be brought to hear.
