Londoners are of two opinions over the recent appointment by King George VI of his younger brother, the Duke of Kent, to be Governor General of Australia. The Duke, pictured above with the Duchess as they recently arrived in London from Scotland, is seen by some as a binder of Empire ties. Others are mindful that the fun-loving Kents have given a gay leadership to London's night- , clubbing Mayfair society set, and have been involved in unconven tional (for staid royalty) incidents. These observers see the ap- I pointment as a thinly-disguised "banishment."

France, Oct. 28. — (UP)—Premier Edouard Dala dier, addressing the annual con-' gress of his Radical-Socialist party, yesterday outlawed the communists from the government majority and moved closer to friendship with the dictators. Daladier, sounding the death knell of the Leftist Popular Front | coalition that had governed France for more than three years, ac cused the communists of sabo taging his efforts to strengthen France. The premier's repudiation of the communists, who hold 76 seats in parliament, increased specula tion that the government's shift toward a settlement with* the to talitarian powers might result in collapse of he Franco-Soviet mili tary alliance. It would have been difficult, unde- the Popular Front coalition, to denounce the Russian pact but now that the communists have > been ejected from the government majority in favor of collaboration with the centrists and rightists such a development is not im probable. Czechoslovakia's decision last week to turn from her military pact with the Soviets to close friendship with Germany, along with Prague's suppression of the Communist party, may lead to similar denunciation of the Czech French pact. In such an event, France might allow the Franco Russian alliance to lapse. Daladier, in his fiery speech against the communists, held out a friendly hand to Germany in a statement which many of his list eners interpreted as support for a four-power plan of appeasement built on the foundations of the Munich accord which, he said, was "an act of reason." French policy, he said, is based on collaboration with Great Bri tain but there are no restric tions—either moral or political— (Continued on page four) TOKYO WARNS FRANCE AS TO CHINESE AID Will Take Necessary Steps if War Materials Still Supplied NAZIS CELEBRATING MARCH UPON ROME TOKYO, Oct. 28.

(UP)— Encouraged by news that the United States had sent a ctiff note to Japan demanding a cessa tion of "unwarranted" Japanese interference with U. S. trade in China. Chinese Generalissimo Chi ang Kai-shek today reformed his battered armies west and south west of Hankow and prepared to j resist new Japanese attacks. The Chinese saw in the Ameri can note indications that the Unit ed States would refuse to recog nize the new Chinese national government which the Japanese are organizing and put stronger pressure on Japan to limit any ' Japanese ambition to control all China. It was reported without con firmation that Generalissimo Chi ang, following appeals from for mer Foreign Minister Eugene Chen and Madame Sun Yat-sen, widow of the founder of the gen-i eralissimo's Nationalist (Kuomin tang) party and a sister of the generalissimo's wife, was center ing his foreign policy on efforts to get more aid from Soviet Rus sia. Chen and Madame Sun long have been pro-Russian and now argue that the "peace" of Mu nich proves that Cnina can expect no effective help from Britain, France or the United Statse, and must turn to Moscow just as Sun Yat-sen did 15 years ago when he was organizing the nationalist revolution. Dispatches from Chungking said the Chinese cabinet met in that new national capital in Szechuan province and canvassed the whole situation following the Japanese occupation of the former provi sional national capital in Hankow.

Hungary's abandonment of in sistence that Poland, her staunch supporter, be included on a court of arbitration was revealed in a note delivered to the Prague government last night in an ef fort to restore the broken-down negotiations. Political quarters in Budapest said the new exchange of notes appeared to be a step toward eventual agreement on a new frontier. Differences remain, how ever, because of the Czech's re fusal to permit plebiscites in "doubtful" areas of racial popu lation in Slovakia and Huthenia.
