Chamberlain to Blame
For Crisis, Says Sheean
Lecturer Interviewed
On Last Few Years
In Foreign Nations
“I believe Mr. Cli.imberlain may be
blamed a great deal for the present
lOnropean situation,” said Vincent
Sheean, famotts journalist, author, and
war correspondent to a High Life re
porter, before his lecture at Aycock
auditorium last week. During
the greater part of the past five
years Mr, Sheean lia,s been in Eu
rope, and has come to know first hand
the political cro.ss currents of the for
eign nations. He firmly believes Cham
berlain entered the cabinet office with
the idea of dominating the foreign
policy, a pha.se of the government he
knows nothing about, Consequently,
the last year and a half has seen mud
dling and giving in on the part of
England.
Spanish War Only Testing Ground
During tlie Spanish war Mr. Sheean
witnessed many of the Italian and
German pianos and other modern war
equipment in action. From these and
other things ho saw in Spain he says:
‘‘Spain was used for no less than a
testing ground for Mussolini and Hit
ler to find the real power of their war
iijachines.”
l>espite present day facts Sheean
sticks to his belief that Itussia ha.s
nothing to gain by a conflict, and,
therefore, will stay on the margin of
world war.
•‘'Pile German p(‘0])le are chloro
formed by propaganda.” as.serts Shee
an, “and will blindly follow (heir lead
er.” He also contends that since the
Keichland has made a Ireaty with
Itussia, the Germans have lost the
rich oil mines of Poland.
‘‘Italy will enter on the winning
side, and then only if it's extremely
neces.sary,” admits Mr. Sheean. This
will serve as quite a blow to some
Homans whose first words were war.
"In America,” Vincent Sheean
thinks, “we are extremely fortunate
for we do have a ehanee for peace, so
long as we remember war can only
come from witliin.”

Former G. H. S. Teacher
Is Famous Writer's Wife
(Continued from Page One)
receiving her degree, she returned to
Greensboro and taught French for
over a year at Greensboro high school,
then situated on Spring .street. 'Then
she moved to New York to work with
an engraving company, and in Decem
ber, 1033, she married Major Eliot,
after in acquaintance of four months.
Miss Moore says that lier friend
was always Very talented in writing,
and for that reason she is e.speciaUy
glad that she married a writer. Mrs.
Eliot told Miss Moore in a recent let
ter that she hoped it would not be
a disappointment for her to say that
she w’ould doubtless never publish
anything under her name, and that she
was quite content to play her role
behind the scenes, by giving all her
efforts in advancing her husband’s
job, which she considers very worth
while.
Mrs. Eliot went on to say that her
husband has a very busy life these
days with the Columbia Broadcasting
company, the N. Y. Herald-Tribune,
Life, Fortune, books, and lecture.?,
llis schedule is so crowded that he has
to dash from one lecture engagement
to another as soon as there is trans
portation available. “’The old gag
about the price of fame lives on and
on,” she declared, - “is true.”
Eliot’s Travel in Europe
“Now I'll tell you about my sum
mer,” Mrs. Eliot continued in her let
ter, “which I found intensely inter-
e.sting, George and I spent a good part
of the summer in Europe. It was my
first trip, and George’s first since the
World War. V'e crossed in the British
ship Aquitania, leaving July 15th. Met

people imaginable. If you read Mar
garet Halsey’s With Malice Toward
Some, you won't believe me, but it’s
quite ' true. Even the titled ladles
seemed none the worse for their handi
cap ! George went to get material for
another book and lectures, and the
co-operation given him in London
was amazing. He saw all the famous
military and naval personalities, while
I did sight-seeing—changing the
Guard at Buckingham Palace, West
minster, 'Tower of London, St. Paul’s,
^tc.
“You should know that we were in
vited several times to tea and lunch
eon in London on the terrace of the
House of Commons,” Mrs. Eliot added.
“'There is where I saw the members
of Parliament in action—over the
tables, and I couldn't help saying to
George afterward^ ‘So this is how the
British empire is governed’! Anyway,
one of the kind members got me a seat
in fhe visitors’ gallery, and I saw the
Prime Minister (minus his umbrella,
so practically naked). I must admit
that some of the questions shot at
him from the House that day were
decidedly hostile, and that did my
little heart good.”
Journey to Egypt
After a week in Paris the Eliots
flew to Berlin, th^n to Warsaw,
Bucharest, Belgrade, Athens. From
there they took an Italian steamer to
Alexandria, and then a train to Cairo.
Mrs. Eliot stated in her letter that she
was simply fascinated in Egypt, es
pecially by the harem women. 'They
saw the Pyramid.?, Sphinx, the Eygptian
museum, King Tut treasures, the ba-
aars, and the ilohammedan mosques.
Return to London
'The Eliots’ trip was cut short when
they saw that the war was coming on
almost immediately. 'They hastened
back to Alexandria and were lucky
enough to get seats, though not to
gether, on the last two planes to run
before war started, and even then the
British embassy in .idexandria had to
take off one of their flying officers to
give Mrs. Eliot his seat. Major and
Miss Walker Receiving
Newcomers Transcripts
Practically all transcripts for the
newcomers to G. H. S. have been re
ceived in, the office by Miss Lily Walk
er. As some subjects, for which cred
its were given in other schools, may not
receive credits for them at Senior high,
it will be necessary for each new stu
dent to report to Miss Walker to de
termine the number of credits he now
has. toward graduation. Thus, all mis-
uiKler.standings will be corrected, the
pupil can begin to make up any defi
ciency he might have, and graduate at
the planned time.
Mrs. Eliot met in London, and Mrs.
Eliot sailed from Southampton the
day before the war broke out. Major
Eliot arrived in America several weeks
after she did, toming by clipper, after
finishing up his works in London.
“I was in London long enough to
see the nightly blackouts, get a gas
mask, see the children evacuated, and
so on,” Mrs. Eliot stated in closing.
“I can't tell you the hundredth part
of ray experiences—it would require
a book, but can, if 1 get to see you in
Greensboro, give you a better idea.”
