Skeptical of Europe’s Promises

The underlying causes of preseliiday opposition are indicsted by voiers themselves in explaining their opinions. Upon analysis yhese staiéments show that the shift in dis» armament sentiment Mas come about for several reasons. First, a large group of voters takes the attitude that even when European countries were mare inclined to live up to their internationsl pledges than they are ioday, disarmament programs were not a lasting success. ‘These voters argue thu with countries like Germany and Italy continually breakin promises a hew disarmament pal’ey woul be “futile” or “impracticgl” at this time. Many others add that the international tension would almost certainly mean failure for an arms: parley and that this failjire would merely contribute to further public

disillusionment. 0) Fear War With Arms Race:

Those voters who, on the othe: hand, favor calling a conference today argue that the armament race. if continued, will inevitably lead to war. They think that at least som¢ effort should be made to halt the race, not .only in the interests of peace but also because “foo muck money is being wasted on arms.” But the survey also firids that even those voters who balieve in disarmament conferences do not think President Roosevelt should take the lead in calling one.

Doctors Act To Save Boy's Periled Eye

Physicians : today hoped to save the sight of 4-year-old James Lecn Grimes’ left eye as the boy apparently was ‘winning the battle for his life at St. Francis Hospital. They said that as soon as the swelling around the wound heals they can determine if the sight can be saved. When the boy was brought to the hospital last week after an accident at his home in Acton, he was given only a few hours to live. His progress has amazed hospital attendants. © The bullet was removed from the back of his head where it lodged after passing through the brain. He was accidentally shot by his father.
