BRITISH STRESS FRIENDLY STAND TOWARD RUSSIA

Chamberlain Says Soviet Army Entered Poland Only For ‘Protection.’

LONDON, Oct.-26 (U. P.).—Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain made a friendly gesture toward Soviet Russia today when he told the House of Commons that the Government

believed it had been necessary for| : the Red Army to occupy part of] 3

Poland as protection against Germany. Viscount Halifax made a similar statement in the House of Lords.

! ‘Toward German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, Mr. Champerlain was not conciliatory. He said “this man” Ribbentrop, who once hurled bitter insults at Russia but now “seems to invite the Soviets to join a crusade against the British Empire,” had been largely responsible for the war along with Adolf Hitler because he failed “to com-

prehend either the British policy or | J

the British people.” Replies to Ribbentrop

Replying to Baron von Ribbentrop’s challenge to a finish fight, the grave-faced Prime Minister told ~ the House “if that, indeed, is their decision, there can be but one reply, and we are prepared to give it.” . At the same time he revealed that the German pocket battleship Deutschland is free as a sea raide on the Atlantic and sank the British steamship Stonegate. Mr. Chamberlain also declare ~ that at least half a dozen Naz bombing planes were shot down ou of 24 to 30 which attempted to at: tack a British convoy in the North Sea Oct. 21; that the enemy loss in merchant ship tonnage last wee was 33,000 tons compared to a los .of five British ships with total ton-

nage of 22,715. | * The Prime Minister's statemen on Russia was cheered. It was in reply to a question. He said that the Government's views conformed to the statement made in a recent broadcast by First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill, who referred to the Russian invasion of Poland. Trade Talks Begun

Mr. Churchill said that it had been necessary for thé Russians to act to protéct themselves against the Nazis. } Moreover, Great Britain, despite Russian refusal to recognize the validity of the Allied blockade of Germany, opened negotiations with Russia on the possibility of! concluding an important trade agreement. At the same time, however, the News Chronicle published an unconfirmed report that Russia might demand naval facilities at the Swedish ports of Goteborg and Karlskrona.

- + Hint at Ultimatum

The report said that Russia had -already won Germany's consent to an “ultimatum” to Sweden and that the decision was likely within the next - few days while Mme. Alexandra Kollantai, Russian Minister ‘to Sweden, was in Moscow. Although the British negotiations with Russia face serious difficulty, especially in light of the contro--versy over the blockade, British hope to deliver to Russia rubber, tin, copper, cocoa and machinery in return for timber, cereals,’ mariganese, flax, hemp and possibly oil. It was pointed out that such an arrangement would reduce Russian deliveries to Germany.

Billings Needs Pardon to Wed

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 26 (U. P.).—The proposed marriage of Warren K. Billings, who, with Tom Mooney, served 23 years in prison in connection with the 1916 Preparedness Day bombing here, has been postponed indefinitely. The action came because Mr. Billings lost nis civil rights, including the right to marry, upon his conviction, it was learned today. Not until those civil rights are

restored through a full pardon !

by overnor Culbert L. Olson, can Mr. Billings marry Miss Josephine Rudolph of San Mateo, who for more than 15 years has been his unpublicized sweetheart. Governor Olson commuted Mr. Billings’ life sentence to “time served” recently, and promised a pardon as soon as he could determine the legality of nis procedure.
