London, England—When Prime‘
'jnnister Chamberlain and Viscountl
Halifax, Foreign Secretary. visit
me next week they will confer
with Pope Plus in an effort to con-s
“"‘soiidate the Protestant and Catho
lic churches in a joint move against
the growing “pagan” doctrine of
using force in international dis
putes. The move is unprecedented
in British history, and the plans or
the m statesmen include a state
luncheon for members of the Col
lege of Cardinals at the British Le
gation in. Rome. In the meantime,
the Prime Minister is resisting all
efforts to have him serve as a med
iator in the dispute arising from
Italy's claim to French territory in
North Africa and Somaliland, which
daily grows more acute, with France
massing troops and warships against
a possible Italian advance upon her
Red Sea territory.
Belief Showdown Duo
Washington, D. O. -—‘ Foremost
among problems facing the new
am this week is the Adminis
tration’s demand for $000,000,000 ad
ditional to finance the work relief
program for the remainder of the‘
fiscal year ending June 30th. Demo
cratic Senator mom-en of Nevada
upressed the views of many mem
bers by demanding a complete in
vestigation of all previous relief
outlays “before another appropria
tion is made." It is believed that the
White House will offer its own solu
tion for taking relief entirely out of
politics. In his report to the Pres
ident. Secretary of the Interior
lobes stated that practically all the
01300300300 appropriated last June
for ma projects had been allocat
ed before the January lst deadline.
Employment Gains
Detroit, Mich. Addressing the
American Association for Labor
legislation, Elmer F. Andrews, na
tionfl administrator of the Wages
and Hours Law, reported a gain in
private employment in 31 states.‘
From Washington it was reported?
that WPA employment decreased
55,996 last week, bringing the total‘
on the rolls down to 3,083,249. WPA
Jobs increased in only four states:
Main, Nevada, Wyoming and Wash
ington, for a net.gain of less than
500.
