England Warns
Against Coup
In Free City
j
UNDATED, July 10 (/P) — Pre
mier Chamberlain, outlining the
government’s policy regarding the
Nazi^desired Free City of Dan
zig, told the House of Commons
that any attempt to settle Dan
zig’s future by “unilateral action
organized by surreptitious meth
ods” would threaten Poland's in
dependance. Since Britain is al
ready pledged to help maintain
Poland’s independence with arm
ed strength, Chamberlain’s state
ment meant any attempted Nazi
coup in the Free City would j
bring a threat of armed interven i
| tion by Britain.
I Chamberlain defended the stat
us quo of Danzig and said that
possible improvements to be set
j up there might be discussed, but
in a clearer atmosphere, which
was taken as a plain warning
that Britain did not favor any
negotations undertaken under
pressure to win concessions not |
otherwise obtainable.
Treasury Might
Try Stabilize
Silver Price
WASHINGTON, July 10 UP)—
The Treasury cut the foreign sil
ver price again and set it at 35
cents an. ounce, a figure suffic- j
ently above the London silver i
market price to enable shipping
the metal across the Atlantic for
the first time in about two weeks.
The 35 cents represented a re
duction in 1% cents from the
last quoted price of Friday.
Officials wouldn’t say what the
disparity between the new treas
ury and London price meant,
but some Observers commented
that the difference might mean
that the treasury is once more in
tervening to stablize the wrorld
silver price.

“Skinny,” the appellation giv

maternal activities inasmuch as
bears usually only have litters

Oklahoman To
Try Sail Through
N. W. Passage
SEATTLE. July 8 (JP) — Dr.
Homer Flint Kellems, Oklahoma
farmer and Evangalist, sailed
northward in a rebuilt 38-foot
halibuter to challenge the dan
gerous ice floes across the top of
the world, aiming for the first
west-to-east trip ever recorded
through the Northwest Passage.
Waterfront men here are skep
tical of the ship’s seemingly frail
ability to buck ice floes. Kellems
is confident and predicted his
arrival in New York in four
months.
Other members of the expedi
tion are: Kellems’ daughter, Vi
vienne, aged 21, Ira Jones, Leo
Clark, Cecil Brooks, A. Y. Owen,
all of Oklahoma.
Kellems said a veteran ice pi
lot would be taken aboard at
Nome where the vessel would
be refueled for the last time. Also
at Nome the vessel is to be
sheathed in iron.
Amundsen piloted the only
ship ever to navigate the North
west Passage in the other direc
tion. Near the Colville p. er, the
expedition will pause to renew
the search for the lost Russian,
flyers.
Manufacturers should adver
tise regularly. It’s such a comfort
to read every week that the one,
we have is the best.
