Commons Begins Debote
On Loan This Week

LONDON, Dec. 10 (P.-Britain's
House OF Commons plunges into the
battle Of Breton Woods this week
right after the acrimony of VIM
ston Churchill's defeated motion of
censure of the Labor government.
Three days will be set aside for
discussion Of the Breton Woods in
ternational sterilization agreement
and the proposed ratification of the
$4,000 100000 American loan to
Britain.
Opposition to both measures seems
to be crossing party lines. Mr..
Churchill's Conservative Shadow
cabinet - former members of his
government who have been returned
to Parliament - planned a private
meeting stoday. Similar gatherings
are to be called by the Liberal party
and other groups which have been
critical of; the loan and Breton
Woods plan.
Opponents of the loan will say
that Britain is buying doubtful COM
fort for the present at the cost of
hard future that may disrupt the
empire and damage industry.
Division within the parties is il
Illustrated by the fact that Sir John
Anderson, former chancellor of the
Exchequer in the Churchill govern
ment, supports the loan, while Bren-
dan Bracken, Minister OF 1nforma-
ton and first lord of the Admiralty
under Mr.. Churchill, opposes it.
The government time table calls
for a motion Wednesday to accept
the American loan, with the consent
of the speaker being asked to allow
the debate also to deal with the
Breton Woods plan.

American 'AW0Ls'
Boost Paris Crime
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, Dec. l0.-Every night a
"lost regiment" of perhaps 1000
men pours into the soldier -congested
areas of Paris, swells the wave OF
postwar petty crime, and disappears
into its secret dwellings before
dawn.
They are American soldiers, but
they obey no orders. They are the
"AWOLs," and more than one-fifth
Of them in the European theater
are believed to have drifted to Paris
The American Army is secretive
about its absent without oficial
leave" men, but a check of indi-
vidual arrests by military police
discloses an average of 10 AWOLs
seized in Paris every day Mostly
they are caught when they commit
some kind Of delinquency.
They form only a part of the ele-
ment responsible for the skyrocket-
ing crime wave in Paris, and the
often sensational Paris press has
been careful not to place the blame
either on the AWOLs, or on the
American soldier stationed in Paris.
France Soir, in its account of a
crime wave which has seen kill
ings. shootings and beatings mount
to 996 from January through Octo-
Der compared with 302 for the same
period in 1889, emphasized that
thousands wearing American uni
forms are not American soldiers.

De Lacy Urges ReturI
'0f Marines 10 Avert
Haired by China
b. the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. l0.-Repre-
sentative De Lacy. Democrat, of
Washington said last night that the
United States should get our be-
loved Marines out OF China and
home to their families"
Addressing the Independent Citi-
zens Committee of the Arts Sci
ences and Professions, Mr.. De Lacy
said The course of our policy at
best indicates how thoroughly bad
on-the-spot Improvisation can be
or, at worst. reveals policy that
is whitening and rotting at the top"
Mr.. De Lacy referred in his ad-
dress to an Associated Press dispatch
from Tientsin. China, dated Deem
Der 8, which told Of an announce
ment that Marines had fred ~ NOR
tar shells into a Chinese village
after two Chinese gunmen killed
one Marine and wounded another
in cold blood
In Gods name" Mr.. De Lacy
said, lets get our beloved Marines
out Of China and home to their
families before We change traditional
Chinese friendship for the same
hatred for us that the Indonesians
and Indians have for the Dutch
and British.
The plain truth is that the sound
policy America had in China while
Roosevelt was President and Gauss
was Ambassador and while Stirwell
was over there has now been dis
torted, chiefly by Hurley, into its
opposite. the aiding and abetting of
civil war between the Kuomintang
party and the Communist party"

JUG, viz NANAN,
based on Pyle's writings and
which is now showing at the
Valentine Theater.
Ernie told me that great num-
bers of his feminine readers
appeared to have taken some
thing of a montherly interest in
his welfare, Mr.. Cowan related
recently. Let him mention in
his column that he was suffering
from bad cold and Immediately
he was deluged with letters from
his women admirers containing
recipes for their favorite cold
remedies. Some even went so
far as to mail him a sample of
the remedy itself.
"Once Pyle complained that it
was difficult to get a good
nights sleep because of the cold
weather and inadequate wraps
and bedding. Whereupon at least
a score of good-intentioned Wom-
en- readers wrote to inform him
that he could remedy this condi-
ton by swadaling himself in old
newspapers before retiring-and
one even sent him by parcel post
a vest-like garment fashioned
from heavy wrapping paper.
The picture is replete with
those honey little touches of
which Pyle used to write. In
line with the efforts to achieve
this degree of fidelity, Holly
wood and Ernie stop off on the
set before they started shoot
ing and gave them just as many
pointers as he could. He did a
splendid job in this respect, |
think. l know he'd liked this
picture!"
"Gag of the Day"
Mr.. Teschner manager of
the Valentine Theater tells me
about the time he went into
Hungarian restaurant. He
ignored the menu, but looked
up at the waiter and said,
Listen, what have you got
that will give me heartburn
imediately instead of at three
o'clock in the mOrning?"
