Chamberlain,
Lord Halifax,
Are To Confer
With 11 Duce
Great Britain To Continue
Drive For Appeasement
Of European Neighbors
Meeting In Rome
Set For January
LONDON, Nov. 28.-(P)-Britain's
travelling Prime Minister is to talk
over with Premier Mussolini in Rome
the British policy of European ap-
peasement which has been balked
temporarily by Germany's drive on
Jews,
The Foreign Office announced to-
night that Prime Minister Chamber-
lain and Foreign Secretary Viscount
Halifax, both of whom were in Paris
last week on an official visit, proposed
journeying to Rome in the first half
of January.,
Mussolini Suggests Trip
The announcement said Mussolini
had suggested the trip to Chamber-
lain when they met Sept. 29 in Mu-
nich and, in answer to the later Brit-
ish proposal of making the meeting
in the first half of January, had stat-
ed "He would in principle welcome a
visit from Prime Minister and For-
eign Secretary at that time."
Authoritative sources said Jan. 10
was a likely date for the statesmen to
meet.
It was expected that high on the
agenda for their talks would. be three
questions:
1. Improyement of Anglo-German
relations, now clouded by Germany's
anti-Semitic. policy. 2. Improvement
of Italian-French relations, and 3.
The Spanish civil war.
The Prime Minister was described
as confident that by personal contact
with uI Duce he might set in motion
negotiations which would lead to a
broad accord anong Britain, Italy,
Germlany nd Franrce.
Suez To Be Diseussed
GermanyIs anti-Sen tic drive, how-
ever, forced postponement of further
direct Anglo-German approaches and
It Duce, as before the Munich con-
ference which din'etnbered Czecho-
slovakia, may be asked to use his good
offices again - this time toward
reaching an Anglo-German under-
standing.
The Prime Minister also was ex-
pected to plead with Mussolini for an
Italian-French understanding, which
probably would bring into discussion
control of the Suez Canal, a conces-
sion of a French Company in which
the British Government has a large
holding; the French railroad between
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Djibouti,
French Somaliland; Italy's claims in
Tunis; the Spanish island of Mallor-
ca; and belligerent rights for Spanish
insurgents.

(Editor's Note: This is the second in
a series of articles, in which the writer'
with the help of several members of
the faculty who prefer to remain
anonymous, will attempt to analyze the
foreign policy of the United States in
respect tothe swiftly-moving events
in the rest of the world.)
By ELLIOTT MARANISS
President Roosevelt's dramatic re-
call of Ambassador Wilson from Ber-
lin for consultation and advice,has
focused attention here on the entire
problem of German-American rela-
tions, throwing into sharp relief both
the anti-Nazi temper of the American
people and the basic inconsistency of
American foreign policy: the unwill-
iIigness to either remain completely
aloof from European affairs or to take
an active part in them.
The research staff of the Foreign
Policy Association, in a bulletin re-
leased in July maintains that ever
since Hitler came to power in 1933
American public opinion has shown
a striking hostility toward Germany,
and with this observation most poli-
tical scientists and newspaper com-
mentators are in substantial agree-
ment. The blows struck by National
Socialism at the cherished American
doctrine of individual liberty; at Jews
and the Catholic church; its espousal
of militaristic and racial theories have
awakened active dislike and resent-
ment in the American public at large.
In the world-wide conflict of ideolo-
gies, the belief that Germany threat-
ens American democratic institutions
has been revived. The work of the
Nazi party, the radio propaganda
from Berlin, and the German trade
drive in Latin America have con-
vinced many Americans that a rigor-
ous campaign of defense against Ger-
man fascism is necessary in their own
hemisphere.

In regard to the official policy ofj
the United States toward German-
American relations, most observers
are of the opinion that the American
policy toward the Third Reich has fol-
lowed the main trends of its general
policy-which have been described as
the isolationist trend from 1934
through 1936 and opposition to ag-
gression beginning in 1937. At the
same time, as various State Depart-
ment releases have emphasized, the
Administration, like its predecessors,
has not invoked American rights un-
der the peace treaty with Germany
which might involve this country in
European political questions.
This treaty, signed at Berlin on
August 25, 1921, after a Joint Resolu-
tion of Congress had terminated the
war and had broadly reserved Ameri-
can rights and privileges, secured to
the United States the benefits speci-,
fied in the joint resolution and "all
rights and advantages stipulated for
the benefit of the United States in
the Treaty of Versailles." This coun-
try, however, as is well known, as-
sumed no obligations under the Cov-
enant of the League of Nations, the
clauses fixing Germany's boundaries.
the political clauses for Europe, the
clauses relating to German rights in
other countries, or the labor clauses.
The Roosevelt government, then, as
has been frequently observed, was in
no position to protest the successive
steps by which Hitler freed himself
from the Treaty of Versailles.
The next change in American rela-
tions with Germany did not come
until 1937, and grew out of the in-
creasing international tension. At this
time it was thought that the Roose-
velt Administration had formally re-
pudiated the isolationist program and

Employes Of Government
Disregard CAbinet Plea
Not To Join Movement
Premiier' Threatens,
Aen With Dismissal
PARIS, Nov. 28-(MP--Rising labor
support toiight threatened to para-
lyze France Wednesday by a nation-
wide one-day general strike despite
firm counter-measures of Premier
Edouard Daladier.
Unions of Government employees,
including 520,000 railroad workers
and totaling in all 950,000 public ser-
vants, defied orders from their Cabi-
net ministers to disregard the strike
call.
Strike To Be Wednesday
The General Confederation of
Labor has called its 5,000,000 mem-
bers to strike Wednesday in protest
against the Government's new decree
laws, which suspend the forty-hour
week and impose new taxes.
The General Federation of Federal
employees told its members flatly to
join the strike in the face of a warn-
ing from Daladier himself that they
would be subject to dismissal if they
halted work.
In addition, the Government, al-
ready empowered to requisition the
nation's railway workers, late tonight
announced that a special decree,
which would allow requisitioning un-
der military supervision of all public
service employees,.would be published
in the official journal tomorrow
morning.
Postal Workers Will Strike
l Postal employees accepted the chal-
lenge of the Minister o Posts & Tele-
graph, Jules Allen, who said the Na-
tion's postoffices would remain open.
They declared bluntly, "We will De
unanimously beside the working
classes and in the front of the com-
bat."
Likewise the country's school teach-
ers, in direct opposition to Minister
of Education Jean Za, said they
would demonstrate Wedesday.
Paris subway and bus line em-
ployees, following the lead of rail-
road workers, voted to join the strike.
The Government warned they would
be requisitioned under military super-
vision if they did.
Students Interested
In Cooperatives
Urgred To Enroll
Students interested in slashing liv-
ing costs through cooperative housing
were urged -by Doug Tracy, '40E,
chairman of Congress's Student Wel-
fare Committee, to see him at once
if they wish to enlist in the campaign.
Only a few more will be accepted,
Tracy warned, due to lack of accom-
modations. Those already enrolled
will "have the jump" on late joiners
when the group is weeded out, he
said.
Selection of new members will be-
gin soon with the election of a "selec-
tion committee" at a meeting sched-
tiled for 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4, in
Room 306 of the Union. This commit-
tee will interview applicants, select-
ing the most promising on the basis
of need and cooperative spirit.

Heikkinen Again Named
Most Valuable Player
On Football Team
New honors were bestowed on
Archie Kodros", star junior center
from Alton, Ill., when he was elected
captain of the 1939 Michigan football
team, at a, meeting of -he 28 letter-
men yesterday afternoon. Kodros suc-
ceeds Fred Janke who led Michigan
to its most successful season in five
years.
At the same time, Ralph Heikkinen,
All-American guard was chosen the
team's most valuable player for the
second consecutive year.
Played Guard
Enrolling here in 1936, Rodeos
played a guard position on the fresh-
man team but was shifted to center
in his sophomore year due to, the
dearth of experienced pivot, mere.
Kodros showed continual improve-
ment and by the time of the opening
game had- displaced the team cap-
tain from the starting line-up, and
he never relinquished the spot all sea-
son.
With the coming of spring prac-
tice, Kodros continued to 's'how Im-
provement in his passing a Ctd. " his'
blocking and at the , close of . the
spring session, he was awarded. the
Chicago Alumni , Trophy, given an-
nually to the player making the best
showing . in spring practice. This
marked the first time this honor had
beetr given to a letterman.
improved Steadily
This fall inspired by the presence
of first class competition in the per-
son of sophomore Forest Evashevski,
Archie improved continually. By the
time of the opener Evashevski had
been shifted to the backfield and
the center postwas left in the 'cap-
able, hands of Kodros. Playing prac-
tically a full 60 ' minutes in seven of
the eight Wolverine games, Kodros
rated along with John Haman of
Northwestern and Jack. Murray of
Wisconsin as one of the top confer-
enep centers.
Encountered immediately after his
election Kodros stated; "I don't know
;whether I'm more surprised or hap-
py. All I can say is that if I can
do half as well as Fred did this year
we'll be mighty hard to beat,"

WARM SPRINGS,_ Ga., Nov. 28.-
(P).The United. States will continue
normal diplomatic relations with
Italy, but her course with respect to
Germany still was uncertain tonight
after another conference between
President Roosevelt and the envoys to
t'iose nations on oppressed minorities
abroad.
Talking with reporters, just before
starting back to Washington, William
Phillips, ambassador to. Italy, said
he would sail Dec.' 10 or 14 to -return
to his post in Rome. He has been
n this country 10 days, conferring
xith the State Department.
Hugh R. Wilson, ambassador to
Berlin, who was summoned home at
the peak of rioting against Jews in
Germany, would not say how long he
would remain in 'Washington, by c
balked at using the word "indefinite-
ly" in describing his stay.
"What is the proper word?" be was
asked.
"I, don't know," he replied; smiling.
I'm going to work in Washington for
sometime. I don't know how "long
I've got certain jobs there to do."
Otherwise, the. two diplomats were
silent on their, talks VV 111 the Presi-

views had touched on mistreatment
of CLttholic and Portestant as well as

said, "you will have to ask the Presi-
dent."

For 1938 Independence c
'Is Rejected By Roosevelt
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28-0'7- c
President Roosevelt today approved t
the report of a Filipino-Ameri-
can committee which decided after
19 months' study that full and
final independence should be granted
the Philippines on. July 4, 1946, as
now scheduled, but that mutually
beneficial economic arrangements
should be continued for 15 years
thereafter.
The suggestion of President Manuel
L. Quezon of the Philippine Common- ;
wealth that the date of independence ,
" might be advanced to 1938 or 1929"
appeared abandoned inasmuch as
Quezon likewise endorsed the joint '
report, made public here 'today.
President Roosevelt- said in a formal
statement that the report had his ap-
proval "as a basis of congressional
consideration for the purpose of cor-
recting the imperfections and in-
equalities of the Independence act of
March 24, 1934 and for the purpose
of making more certain and definite
the future commercial relationships
between the United States and the
Philippines after Philippine inde-
pendence is attained."

The leaders insist that unless aid

Jewish quarters heard - oYn various
parts of Germany today that arrests
of Jews were continuing. Many who

said. Word came from the Nazi-
