ALLEN - WASHINGTON State department reports on behind the scenes developments in Europe indicate that Great Britain may at last do the impossible and desert her age-did policy of preserving the balance of power in Europe. Eur-ope. It looks as though she might throw in her lot with France. For months, despite Nazi disregard dis-regard for the peace of Europe, Britain has flitted back and forth between France and Germany. First with one, then the other. playing them off against each other. This was especially true during French dickering for an alliance with Russia. Prior to this, the British were hand-in-glove with the French. Stanley Baldwin, speaking in Parliment, said that a German air raid on France meant a raid on Britain. To prevent this possibility France turned over special air bases on her soil to the British. The old wartime alliance seemed virtually restored. BRITISH COOLNESS Then suddenly France started talking alliance with Russia. Immediately Im-mediately Britain cooled. There were two big reasons for this. First, Britain always has entertained an innate suspicion of Russia. (The Soviets are too close to India). Second, an alliance with Russia would make France too strong, would upset the balance of power in Europe. So the British pretended to .p-oear .p-oear a bit more friendly to the Nazis. This was hard sledding, in view of Hitler's sudden announcement announce-ment of rearmament. But Sir John Simon went through the motions by going to Berlin just the same.

CHAMBER IS DIVIDED ON NEW DEAL Liberal Business Leaders Go To White House To Offer Aid WASHINGTON, May 3 (U.R) A break in the ranks of the nation's business leaders developed today over the U. S. chamber of commerce's harsh denunciation of the New Deal. Two groups split sharply over two of President Roosevelt's primary recovery measures NRA and social security. The chamber of commerce closed clos-ed its convention with a boisterous boister-ous denunciation of the entire New Deal program. A group of 23 liberal leaders went directly to the White House to assure the president of their support of his two important recovery measures. Offer Support The liberal leaders, comprising the business advisory council of the department of commerce, offered of-fered the president their support of extension of NRA and enactment enact-ment of a security program for aged indigent and unemployed. The council was accompanied by Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper, who had defended the New Deal before the chamber. Included In-cluded in the group was Henry I. Harriman, retiring president of the chamber, who had presided at the convention. H. P. Kendall, chairman of the advisory council, said after the White House meeting that "we are here to uphold the president's hand in the f;ght against the depression. de-pression. Certain of our members are members of the chamber of commerce, but we are not spokesmen spokes-men for the chamber or any other organization." Included in the council group were such powerful liberal leaders lead-ers as Gerald Swope, head of General Gen-eral Electric; Winthrop W. Aid-rich, Aid-rich, banker; Lincoln Filene, Boston Bos-ton department store magnate; W. A. Harriman, rail mogul, and James H. Rand, manufacturer. Harper Sibley, newly elected president of the chamber, said that organization's stand against administration measures was "an honest difference of opinion." Charges of "steam-rollering'' at the closing session were followed by threats of some members to re- sign. j i1 ran cis Hi. ruwen, netiu oi mc U. S. chamber of commerce in London, said he was "shocked" at the attitude of the convention. "It couldn't have happened anywhere else in the world," he said. "American business will have to cooperate with this administration in the new era about us or get something worse," he said.

Skidmore of Logan told the club that the Logan club was supporting the candidacy of Mr. Spear. Conditions in New York City are not good said Elihu J. Zwil-ling Zwil-ling of that city, who spoke briefly brief-ly on conditions there following his introduction by Leo N. Lewis, club member. Mr. Zwilling declared declar-ed that the theatrical season has been virtually a failure, with only a few good shows, a lack of initiative in-itiative has resulted from the relief, re-lief, garages are losing money, banks are "tight," retail business is fair, with more sales on cheap goods.

E. Coakley received, at his office a large, new bale of hay. It was the physicians's fault too. He asked for it, but he didn't ever expect to get it. As a matter of fact, it was the result of his mailing several hundred hun-dred copies of the "chain letter to end all chain letters." In past, this chain letter read: H. E.

Fine Opportunity "The California trip will be a fine opportunity for our boys to brush up against the national guard personnel of other states and obtain new ideas from such contact," said Captain Hebertson today. "Any Provo boys who wish to join our battery should have their applications in before May 10," he said, "as we have room for a limited lim-ited number of new members." The Provo battery will travel to the California maneuver grounds in their own ton-and-a-half trucks, making the 2000-mile trip in a little over a day. Plenty of opportunities oppor-tunities will be provided for sightseeing sight-seeing during the trip, according to the captain, who announced that permission has been granted to let the boys spend at least a day at the California Pacific International In-ternational exposition at San Diego. A side trip to Boulder dam will be taken, either on the way down or on the trip back.

Kindly remove my name from the top of the list and add it to the bottom. If this chain is broken, have it mended and send the bill to FERA." Well, the worst happened.

FAILURE TO COOPERATE BRINGS MOVE Relief Chief Cracks Down On Pennsylvania And Georgia, Too WASHINGTON, May 3 (U.R) Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins today carried car-ried out his threat to withhold with-hold federal aid to states which do not meet his demands de-mands for co-operation. He drocped Illinois from states allotted federal money for May relie. The next move in determining the fate of Illinois' 1.200,000 needy is up to the state legislature, legisla-ture, which he has asserted must contribute $3,000,000 a month to the state's $14,000,000 a month relief bill, Hopkins said. "It's up to the legislature whether or not people on relief in Utah was given a grant for May of $558,995, exclusive of rural rehabilitation funds. Idaho Ida-ho received $519,885. Illinois are fed or go hungry,' Hopkins said. "A small minority of politicians is responsible for blocking Gov. Henry Horner's revenue bills. "When Illinois raises $3,000,000 a month, the state will get the federal funds needed. Until then, we can do nothing." Hopkins also "cracked down" on two other states, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Blames Governor In refusing additional rural school aid money to Georgia, he blamed Gov. Eugene Talmadge, New Deal critic, for not supplying back pay to country teachers, "The responsibility is all on Talmadge," he said. "The governor gover-nor vetoed a bill putting up state money for state schools. "If he isn't interested in their fate, I don't see why the federal emergency relief administration should be.'' He warned Gov. George . Earle that federal aid would be withdrawn with-drawn from Pennsylvania 1,800,-000 1,800,-000 needy unless the legislature contributed $5,000,000 a month. The state now has enough money to operate until May 15 with the $7,252,800 grant announced late yesterday. The omission of six states, besides be-sides Illinois, from the list of relief re-lief allotments, was explained as due to the haste in preparing the grants and does not mean they will be cut off. Pipe Company Suit On Check Denied The contention of the Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe company that a special deposit of $2669 in the defunct Provo Commercial and Savings bank should be regarded re-garded as a preferred claim, was denied in the Fourth district court Thursday.

SAVS BEVERLY HILLS, Cat, May 2 The papers said today, to-day, "The President Breaks with C S. Chamber of Com-me!rce.' Com-me!rce.' That's the oldest news I have seeri in a long time. Through habit of the last few administrations, the U. S. Chamber of Commerce is supposed to be wedded (in an advisory capacity) to each president, but this particular particu-lar union was never consummated. consum-mated. It was an unhappy alliance on both sides from the start, and the break didn't cornel in the last day or so. Incompatibility djevelopeld as early as March 4, 1933. Both are headstrong and used to running things their own way, and it will be a divorce well worth retadlng about. Up to now, Roosevelt is ahead, for he is collecting five billion temporary alimony.
