WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—France’s able Georges Bonnet, | former Minister of Finance and now a member of the Cham- | ber of Deputies on six months’ leave as Special Ambassador, | is here on one of the most difficult missions an envoy ever had. | A long series of blunders on both sides of the Atlantic | has culminated in a situation where a gap is spreading be- | tween the world’s greatest democracies at the moment when | they need each other most. Paris and London are convinced a European war may | break out soon. The rate at which Europe is arming supports | their fear.

moment believes an actual worl alliance of the democracies is possible. They do feel that with their governmental philosophy now evervwhere on the defensive, and with so much in common at stake, they could at least present a moral front against such foes as threaten them. | Between the United States on the one hand, however, and Britain and France on the other, there is a | growing barrier. It isn’t a question | of hostility. There isn’t any. There | is an aloofness, tendency toward | isolation. which, in time of international crisis such as the world is passing through at present, might be almost as harmful.

Oriental’s Remark, Jury In Poison Case Told.

By United Press WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Feb. 19.-— Mrs. Anna Yancey, personal maid to Mrs. Ida L. Churchill, testified in the “poison plot” trial of Chang Soo Lee today that Lee told her

| last summer Mr. and Mrs. George

Reeves “are here for what Mrs.

[ Churchill has.”

Financial and economic solidarity of the democracies in time of trouble would be almost as helpful as a political entente. Americans, since the World War, have tended

to look with increasing disfavor, on any such idea—due, chiefly, to what | they regard as the bad faith shown | since the war by the European Al- | lies. When Britain, France and the others stood with their backs fo the wall, as Americans see it, the people | of this country went to their aid, | first with money, then with men. | After the victory, Americans feel, | the Allies displayed a lack of appreciation, became abusive, called | Uncle Sam a Shylock and ended by defaulting on their loans. True, American as well as Euro- | pean statesmen showed little common sense and less foresight on the | question of the war debts. But | Americans still feel that debtor nations sought harder to escape than they ever did to pay. So today it would probably be no exaggeration | to say the popular feeling in this | country is that if the nations of Europe again become involved in war they can fight it out with their own men and their own money in their own way. Democracies Want Peace

The tragic part is that it ddes incalculable harm to both sides. Americans no less than the British end French want peace, and it Would be a tremendously discouragIng factor if a would-be aggressor | knew that the bulk of the world’s | pconomic resources was on the side ®f the victim. The future of Amerin democracy is linked to the fu- = of European democracy. Yet, pince the Armistice, leaders on both

Lee is charged with attempting to poison the Reeveses, former Indianapolis residents, while they were house guests of Mrs. Churchill. alleged he feared his wealthy employer would leave all her money to the Reeveses and deprive him of a legacy contained in her will. Mrs. Yancey testified she was em-

| ployed by Mrs. Churchill for seven [summers as personal maid and. do-

ing general housework. She said

' she had nothing to do with the buy- |

ing, preparation or serving of food. That, she testified ,was done by Lee. Assistant District Attorney Elbert

| T. Gallagher asked Mrs. Yancey if

she had heard or overheard any statement by Lee regarding the Reeveses while the were Mrs. Churchill's house guests last summer, “Yes,” she answered, “I was working in the house with Lee when he said: ‘They are here for what Mrs. Churchill has.”

{ Mrs. Yancey was preceded on the |

witness stand by several other prosecution witnesses. Dr. David A. Lubarsky, White Plains doctor, said he was called into the case on Dec. 17. He report-

GET NAVY STEEL

‘Government Move Intimated

By President in Press Conference.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—President Roosevelt intimated today that the Government will take prompt action to obtain steel for its naval building program. Material has been difficult to procure because of the Walsh-Healey

| Aot, setting a 40-hour week for large | | government contractors.

Mr. Roosevelt, apeaking at his

| press conference, said the Govern- | ment must act to obtain a sufficient | supply of steel within a few weeks.

Action to clear up the steel jam has been spurred by announcement of Great Britain's $7.500,000,000 naval construction program. Mr. Roosevelt said that despite tha difficulties of operating under the Walsh-Healey Act he favored

it and would like to see similar provisions applied to industry all over the United States. As the President was making his statement, Senator Walsh (D. Mass.), chairman of the Senate Naval Affairs Committee and coauthor of the Walsh-Healey Act, declared in a statement that steel interests were not “a party to any interference or blocking of government proposals to purchase steel.”

PLAN MILDEST, ASHURST SAYS:

Judiciary Committee Chief Pleads for Approval in Senate Speech.

(Editorial, Page 20; “The Court, Therefore, Rules—,” Page 19).

By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Chairman Ashurst of the Senate Judiciary Committee appealed in the Senate

today for support of the President's judicial program as the “mildest” | measure that could have been pro- | posed. Senator Ashurst’'s address was | presented as Administration supporters rallied to swing support be- | hind Mr. Roosevelt's program. Ad- | ditional Senators were called to the | White House to discuss the plan | with Mr. Roosevelt and Senator | Thomas (D. Okla.), previously uncommitted, emerged with a state-| ment he would support the Roose- | velt legislation. Senator Murray (D. Mont.), also | a White House visitor, was still non- | commital. Senator Ashurst told the Senate that: “I marvel at the President's moderation.”

Opposes Court Curb

“The bill is the mildest of all the bills that could be introduced,” he said. “I have always resisted and I shall always resist, any bill or constitutional amendment to take away from the Supreme Court the power of review of acts of Congress. | “Moreover,” Mr. Ashurst con- [ tinued, “the Supreme Court should | have power to declare void state | | statutes.” | He asserted his belief that “the | Constitution is what the Supreme | Court makes it.” Mr. Ashurst, who introduced the | judiciary bill, said he was opposed to any legislation that would curb | the Court by requiring a two-thirds vote to invalidate acts of Congress. “I believe it would be harmful to take from the court the power to invalidate acts of Congress,” he said.

Transfer of Power

“T oppose the proposal of Senators | Wheeler and Bone to permit the Congress by two-thirds vote to override court decisions. “It would transfer judicial power to Congress. “Therefore you ask, how can I support the President's proposal? “That is simple. It is a mild and reasonable solution. | “The Constitution grants to Con- | gress the power to fix the number | of Justices of the Supreme Court | and their salaries and to make other [ for the Court.” { FORGERY SUSPECT HELD B
