Litvinov Urges Nonaggression T alks

National Cabinet in Crisis.

LONDON, March 17 (U. P)—A serious revolt within the Conservative Party and even the Cabinet it-

self threatened the Neville Chamberlain Government today. - The revolt came in the midst of the grave European crisis which has caused a parliamentary clamor for a “peace or war” decision by the Government. Cohsent to the Government's middle-of-the-road policy, previously accepted as the best way of dodging war, apparently has given way to a feeling that Britain had better speak peremptorily, or be dragged into war anyhow. An active group of Parliament members sought a clear-cut declaration by the Government on whether Britain would go to the aid of Czechoslovakia in the event of aggression. Lord Beaverbrook’s Evening Standard, which generally is wellinformed politically, said the dissident group in Parliament claims the support of such men as Leslie Hore-Belisha, War Minister; William Morrison, Secretary of Agriculture; Walter Eliot, Secretary of State. for Scotland, and William Ormsby-Gore, Colonial Secretary. They seek assurance that Britain will make withdrawal of all foreign forces in Spain a condition of any agreement, with Italy. One: newspaper . reported that Winston Churchill, dissident : Conservative leader; Maj. ‘Clement Attlee, Labor - Party leader, and Sir Archibald Sinclair, Liberal Party leader, might be invited to join the Cabinet and that coincidently a post of importance might be found for Capt. Anthony Eden, who resigned as Foreign ‘ Secretary because he disagreed with Mr. Chamberlain’s foreign affairs policy. Litvinov Asks U.S. Aid Against Aggression MOSCOW, March 17 (U, P.).— Soviet Russia called today on the United States and "other powers— except Germany, Italy and Japan— to take collective action in a conference: against ‘aggression such as the annexation of Austria<and the possible invasion of Czechoslovakia. Maxim Litvinov, Foreign Commissar, called in the foreign press and affirmed Russia's determination to stant by her treaty obligations, which include armed aid to Czechoslovakia if the latter is attacked. Asked how Russia could give concrete aid to Czechoslovakia without passing through the territory of another country, ‘since there is no common border, he replied ‘significantly: “Where there’s a will, there's a way. ” The implication was Russia would

Secretary Supports Parallel Action, but Denies Pacts Abroad.

WASHINGTON, March 17 (U.

Secretary Hull is an internationalist and believes ‘in .using force and coercion to punish aggressor - nations. aud that is exactly what he means when he sptaks ‘of ‘parallel action’ with nations whose objectives coincide with America.’ ” The ‘opposing. view was taken by Chairman Sam .D.

Orval Adams Denies Banking

Mongpoly and. Control By ‘60 Families.’

: The economy of the world ‘tol

is ‘controlled by political forces, not

by the owners and creators of goods, Elbert 8S. Woosley, : First National Bank vice president, Louisville, said here today.

He was one: of several speakers at the American. Bankers’ Association Regional Conference at ClayPoot Hotel. More than 1000 bankers from’ nine states were expected to, ‘attend the two-day conference today and tomorrow. Personal loans are being revived “by an. increasing . number of banks,” Leslie. R. Driver, Bristol, Tenn., First National Bank executive vice president, said this afternoon. Orval W. Adams, American Bankers’ Association president, said earlier in an address that “banking is no monopoly, has no dictator and is not controlled by 60 families.”

Urges ‘Conservative Policies

Scoring the ‘political control of world economy,” Mr. Woosley urged “preservation of age-old and timetested economic principles.” “Our best approach to the question of expanding debt of all kinds is, as citizens, to use our influence to map more conservative policies,” e said. Henry 8S. Sherman, Cleveland, Savings Division president, charged that activities of the Federal Savings & Loan Associations and of the Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corp., “are seriously unsound and constitute a threat to the whole banking structure.” He claimed Indiana banks were overburdened with ¢ taxes because they paid for their customers the state intangibles tax on depositp,..,

The - personal loan must, of course, involve no relaxation. of high credit standards.” * He said. that, . until recently, “pankers were marking time, while certain local credit. needs were being fulfilled by new credit agencies, governmental and private nonbanking.”

Denies Bank Monopoly

It believes that the banks in the various communitiés should be directly responsible to the people in those communities in the conduct of their affa rs. ” ‘Mr. Otis in a forum address stated “agriculture cannot maintain its |. proper position in our economic system without an adequate supply and wise’ use of credit.” Earlier Robert H. Myers of Muncie, Indiana Bankers Association vice president, said the major. earn= ing assets of banks are now seourity investments.

WASHINGTON, March 16—In one month, there begins with Illineis, a protracted series of primary elections © which will be closely watched by the New Deal and its foes as weathervanes for the Noz | vember Congressional elections and for the 1940 Presidential contest. President Roosevelt and his lieutenants are keenly interested in some contests where stanch New Dealers are opposing either mild New Dealers or conservatives in a struggle for control. of the party machinery, a struggle which reflects the division in the partys ranks on Capitol Hill. Most . significant of ‘all the primary fights for New Deal fortunes is that in Kentucky where Mr. Roosevelt's Senate leader, Alben W. Barkley, is "being challenged by young Governor Chandler, a rousing campaigner who knows a trick or two about rallying the electorate.

Defeat of the party leader, whatever the mixture that might bring it about, would be.a blow at New Deal prestige. Furthermore, it would deliver the Senate leadership to the conservative wing. Mr. Barkley won the leadership by a single vote over Senator Pat Harrison (D. Miss.), the candidate
