It was said in these circles there was no douibt that an agree ment would be concluded by the time Parliament reconvenes on June 5, as Chamberlain predict ed last week. The British press commented on the projected agreement as though it already was an accomp lished fact, asserting it was the final step needed to ensure suc cess of Chamberlain’s policy of standing up to the Axis powers. Coupling the Prime Minister’s efforts with the general easing of tension in Europe, newspapers which a few months ago were as sailing Chamberlain for his ‘ap peasement” efforts today voiced general approval of his new policy. The Sunday Pictorial said: “A year ago the Sunday Pic torial published its article, “The World Is Saying We Are Yellow.” Who need publish such an article today?

First Turkey, now Russia, Twice Hitler has failed to gum up our play.” The Observer declared, “A tripartite treaty of mutual assist ance is now assured. With it we are given a greater assurance of peace than we have experienced since the treaty of Varsailles first crumbled.” The Sunday Times said Chamb erlain “has combined a zeal for peace with insurance against war; and today, with our arms production fast multiplied and multiplying and our diplomacy ANNIVERSARY SOAP SALE 133 IfuitU of!

A man was arrested in Con necticut for reckless blowing on a boat whistle and an Alabama man was arrested for reckless driving in a steam roller.
