: $ Y 7 ‘No Winners in War, Chamterlain Says LONDON, March 24 (U. P).— . Britain i= ready to go to war to protect “cerfain vital interests” if necessary, “ut knows that “in war there arc no winners.” Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain told the House of Commons today. He said he hoped Britain could achieve peace in Europe by negotiation. In a momentous restatement of Britain’s whole field of foreign policy, the Prime Minister told a tense and crowded house, to the accompan iment of occasional bursts of cheering, that Britain would observe .all existing commitments, including the defense of France and Belgium, but rejected new obligations in Central Europe. Britain. he thus promised, wiil not to war to prevent the German invasion of Czechoslovakia.

Rei-cts Soviet Invitation

Mr. Chamberlain rejected the invitation of Soviet Russia to the major powers, excluding Italy, Germany and Japan, to confer on means of halting aggressor nations. Announcing Britain’s determination to rcarm to the teeth for defensive purposes, the Prime Minister defined Eritish policy as follows: 1. Defense of France, Belgium and other nafions to which Britain already ha: been committed. (Portugal, Egyp: and Iraq.) 2. No additional entanglement in central Europe. 3. Gene: ral = adherence ‘to: the League of Nations poliey, 4. Scrup sous observance of non: pn on in 5. Nego'iation of a friendly agree ment with Italy. 6. Intensive acceleration of British rearmament. Peace Held Ideal

“There are certain vital interests

~ for which. if they are menaced, we

would fiziit,” the Prime Minister said. “All the same, our object must always be to preserve those things which we consider essential, without recourse ‘o war, if that is possible. “Peace if the greatest interest of the Britich Empire, but that does not mean that nothing will make us fight,” Mr. Chamberlain said. “Another case in which Britain's arms might have to be used is one that might arise under the covtnant of the League of Nations,” he said.

Faith in League Shattered

The Prime Minister admitted that his original belief in the League of Nations as an instrument for preserving peace had been “profoundly shattered,” adding that “we tried to impose on the League a task beyond its powers to fulfill.” = He expressed hope that the League might be so reformed as to “become a most effective guarantee ' of

peace. : He emphasized ‘the necessity for extensive _ British rearmament, .especially against air attacks. “The problem for the Government is how best to restore shaken confidence, maintain the rule of law in international - affairs, and seek peacefu’ sqlution to questions continuing io cause anxiety.”

— Sky Show

Scheduled for April With Moon Taking Leading Role.

By JOE COLLIER HE April skies will provide a theater for an astronomical show that includes almost everything but a bank night and bingo party. The moon, for instance, is going to be both in perigee at midnight April 4, and in apogee April*20, for a matinee at 1 p. m. Perigee means nearest the earth and apogee farthest from the earth. This seems to happen every month. At 7:22 m., April t h e moon and Venus will be within 3 degrees or 39 minutes of each other. At 1:51 a. m. April 2, the moon will be 11 minutes from Mercury. At 3:46 a. m. April 3, the moon will be within 42 minutes of Mars. On April 13 at 6:30 a. m., Jupiter will be so situated that four of its brightest moons may be seen with a telescope or pair of field glasses. Again at 6: 30 a. m. April 20, Jupiter's Galilean moons can be seen. And from April 20 to 22 the famous Lyrid meteor shower is scheduled to fill the skies with fiery streaks. If this turns out to be as good as it sounds, there is some talk of holding April over dor a second month,

Byrnes Bill Passage

* (Editorials, Page 14)

WASHINGTON, March 24 (U. P.). —The Senate today rejected the Byrd amendment to the Byrnes Government Reorganization Bill.

The amendment was designed to protect the office of the Controller General from change under. the measure. The vote was 47 to 36. The amendment, sponsored by Senator Byrd (D. Va.), sought to eliminate from the bill a proposal to substitute an Auditor General who would make a post-audit of Government expenditures in place of the’ present Controller General. Defeat of the Byrd amendment was expected to be followed closely by a vote on the question of recommital of the bill. Administration adherents were confident they would win this final test and then go on promptly to pass the bitterly disputed bill. The vote followed a vigorous fight between Administration Senators and opposition members over the need for retaining Congressional control over Government expenditures before they are made.

lang were made in the House to eatitiys Monday on thie various TVA inquiry resolutions pending there. Both Senator Norris’ moves were blocked by objections of Senate Minority Leader McNary (R. Ore), who served notice that he would object to all unanimous requests until the Byrnes Government Reorganization Bill is disposed of. In the House, Chairman John J. O'Connor (D. N. Y.) of the Rules Committee announced after a con-

| ference with Speaker William B.

Bankhead and Majority Leader Sam Rayburn, that a hearing will be held Monday on resolutions for a vA investigation. Speaker Bankhead said he thought it should be indicated “that the House is going to insist on its prerogative to investigate the TVA.” Rep. O'Connor said that “it’s my guess that it will wind up as a joint investigation. We are not going to wait on the Senate.”

Increased War Appropriations Asked

WASHINGTON, March 24 (U.P.). —Rep. J. Buell Snyder (D. Pa.) demanded even heavier Army appropriations than provided in the War Department Supply Bill as the House today opened debate on the $447,805,555 measure. Rep.

Flat 18 Per Cent Rate

For Corporations Voted WASHINGTON, March 24 (U, P.).—The Senate Finance Commite tee today eliminated the undise tributed profits tax from its new draft of the general tax Tevision bill, In its place, the Committee agreed to place a flat tax rate of 18 per cent on corporate income. The Committee action was taken as Chairman Harrison (D. Miss.) speeded action on the measure in an effort to place it before the Senate as rapidly as possible as an aid to business. Elimination of the undistributed profits tax ran directly counter to Administration recommendations. The action was taken. after the Committee voted against attaching two important riders to the bill. One rider, by Senator Pope (D. Ida.), would have established new processing tax levies to:provide farm benefit funds. The other was’ the war profits bill of Senator Cone nally (D, Tex.).

Small Firms Aided Senator Harrison said the Trease ury estimated that the flat rate would produce 948 million dollars on the basis of 1938 income, as

. | compared to 851 million income an-

ticipated from the undistributed profits tax provisions of the House= approved tax bill. The Committee placed in the bill a provision to ° lighten the tax burden of corporations with net ine comes under $25,000. Under the pros vision such ‘corporations would be atlowed-to.deduct.10. per cent of i difference between their income and $25,000 before computing the 18 per cent tax. Majority Leader Barkley (D. Ky.) and Senators Connally (D. Tex.), Bulkley (D. 0) and La Follette (Prog. Wis.) voted against elimina= tion of the undistributed profits tax, With the full Committee in attende ance, there were 17 votes in favor.

Green and Lewis , : On Wage-Hour Bill Spot

By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer ~

WASHINGTON, March 24 (U. P.).—A sudden blast of Presidential beat on Congress brought indicae tions today of an early attempt to

revive a wage-hour bill. William Green of the A. F. of L. and John L. Lewis of the C. I. O. are to be consulted by members of the special House subcommittee, which is under orders to draft a bill. This will put both Mr. Lewis and Mr. Green on the spot. If the bill fails now, after President Roosee velt’s vigorous demand at Gainese ville, Ga., for increased worker pure chasing-power in the South, both labor leaders will be accused of causing the failure—and both of them know it. The labor split is blamed by many for the bill's slug’ gishness so far this session. The subcommitiee meets tomors row to make its biggest decision— whether to adopt a flexible proe cedure, with a board or adminise trator empowered to adjust wage rates, or to fix rigid standards and leave enforcement to the Justice Department. A. F. L. Plan ‘Out’

Mr. Green demands the rigid provisions, although he is now willing to accept a um wage of less than 40 cents an hour to start with. He opposes any board or administrator, and he and his colleagues contend that the Presi dent supports their position. : Chairman Robert Ramspeck (D. Ga.) of the subcommittee, however, announced that he

en said the A, F. of L. plan was “out the window.” The subcommittee has has definitely decided on an “escalator” method of raising minimum wage rates to 40 “cents an hour over a period of years. Some Southerners, however,
