PREMIER CHAMBERLAIN Paris-Praha Pact Stands Commons Gives Chamber lain Tacit Confidence Vote On Program By RICHARD C. McMDLLAN (United Press Staff Correspondent) LONDON, March 14 Great Britain rushed completion of her greatest armament program in history as an immediate retort to Chancellor Adolf Hitler's German coup in Austria. la a ringing speech before the House of Commons, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain challenged Germany's invasion of central Europe, vigorously denouncing the new threat to the European balance cf power and warning that Britain would arm to the hilt to defend empire interests. NO CZECH DECLARATION However, Chamberlain's pronouncement carefully skirted an outright declaration of Britain's program if Hitler should penetrate Czechoslovakia. Regarding essential points in the middle Europe crisis, Chamberlain said: Britain had no taUinent to aid-Austria beyond consultation with other powers, which was done.

However, he warned pointedly that Austrian events were upsetting the European balance of power and would be bound to result in poetical uneasiness, delaying- the British program of economic appeasement. i. Czechoslovakia consulted Great Britain concerning the Austrian situation.

S.

High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt, recommending indefinite postponement of Philippines independence. 5 Quezon said in a statement, "I think McNutt's presentation of facts related to present Phil-American relations was unassailable. No reasonable person knows the Tydings-McDuffie act was fully satisfactory from the Filipino point of view, hence none can find fault with McNutt's proposal for re-examination of the whole question as soon as possible." Immediately after the address Quezon cabled his congratulations to McNutt is unnecessary to add that when I returned from the United States last year I found a divergence of opinion among Filipinos regarding what policy would be the best safeguard for our. interests," he said.

"Consequently I have encouraged discussion on the ubject, as I have always maintained that fate of the Filipinos cannot be placed in the hands of anybody but must be left to free determination of Filipinos themselves." WARM RESPONSE McNutt's address received a warm response. Stock markets were bullish. On the contrary, however, the Philippines Herald polled assemblymen and found 15 against the proposal to postpone independence indefinitely. Three favored the suggestion. Quezon's recaction, while not openly approving the proposal to postpone independence indefinitely, locally was construed to mean he is willing to consider such a proposition with an open mind, confirming the story written by Roy Howard, editor of the New York World Telegram, the day Quezon left New York last year.

Some believed McNutt made the proposal only after previous conferences with Quezon on the subject.

OTTO'S AIDE TAKEN It was understood the Archduke Otto's Austrian representative, Baron Wiesner, was taken into "protective custody." Officials denied the monarchist leader Baron Karl von Werk-mann had been shot or attempted suicide. They announced schools wonld remain closed until further notice. Nazis seized a large Jewish cafe and announced that henceforth it would be an Aryan establishment. Hospitals discharged hundreds of Jews. There were wild scenes at the Polish legation as.

hundreds, mostly Jews, clamored, for visas. Greeted by cheering thousands, the Fuehrer spoke over a national broadcast hook up, saying: "Whatever happens, this German Reich will never again fall asunder. Nobody can force it from its road! "No threat, no misery, no violence can ever cause this oath to be broken. now are a nation of 74,000,000" persons in one Reich! "Nobody can turn us from our way.

Gen. Holbrook, who is en route from a two-year Traffic Isle Plan Urged Supervisors Due To Get Plea For Six Pedestrian Safeguards Installation of six traffic islands for the safety of pedestrians will be recommended to the board cf supervisors today following a meeting late yesterday of the public works committee. The traffic islands will cost the city-county $2,050 with $860 more needed for installation of traffic lights. Following recommendations of the Reeder report presented to the traffic safety commission almost a year ago, islands will be placed at dangerous traffic spots.

Two islands will be placed at the intersection of Harding, Ka-piolani and King streets; at the junction of north Beretania and King street; King and Liliha and King and Dillingham boulevard. PEDESTRIAN AID Capt. Harry L. Powell, traffic engineer, declared the islands were designed to protect pedestrians stepping off street cars without requiring traffic to stop. With timed traffic lights being installed on a city-wide basis, it was believed necessary to maintain the light-controlled flow of traffic.

Islands would protect pedestrians while still allowing traffic to proceed. Supervisor Charles Crane opposed some of the proposed island locations, told public works mem- (Continued on Page 4, CoL 6) Fleet Steams To War Drills duty tour as com He said withdrawal from the Islands would mean "We lose our voice in Oriental diplomacy. as long as our fljLg flies there the Philippines will be a cornerstone for peaceful reconstruction In the Far East" He said in independence the Philippines would face "a real threat of racial extinction. economic disaster attendant upon sudden loss of the American market." KNEW OF SPEECH Government leaders including White House, congressional and state department officials were acquainted with McNutt's speech in advance and their unofficial approval implied that McNutt's views reflected the tkm attitude. McNutt said peace in the Pacific was dependent upon harmonizing "salvation of the Philippines and the larger interests of America." He said the United States should reserve only jurisdiction over foreign affairs, tariffs, immigration, currency and public debts, and should feel free in ca3e of crisis to "help preserve the democratic base of the Philippine government." Referring to the military problem, he said, "I venture to predict that if our flag comes down the Philippines will be a bloody ground and center of a war within a war for a generation.

SEES WAR AHEAD He sketched the background of the independence move and pointed out new problems which have arisen since passage of the Tydings-McDuffie independence bill. "Treaties concerning the Orient have been violated and the open door policy more than seriously challenged," he said. "Our policy of freedom of the seas and freedom of the air is in the balance." He said many Filipino leaders have come to realize that independence may mean merely trading sovereignties. He said they realize a small independent nation would be unable to enforce the United States law excluding Asiatic manding general of the Philippine department, ex pects to stay in Honolulu about a month before Holbrook proceeding to the Mainland and command of the Third corps area, with headquarters in Baltimore, Md. "The Philippine army has 20,000 trainees continually under instruction," Gen.

Holbrook said. The pe Tinkham. Vinson pointed out Secretary of State Cordel Hull and Rear Admiral William D. Leahy said the United States had no commitments with foreign powers. Tinkham replied: "I am frank to say I do not believe what the Admiral and the Secretary said I say that if such arrangements have been made we already are committing ourselves to the next war which seems now on the horizon." Rep.

Ralph E. Church, 111., attacked the bill's policy sections, charging they invite American naval activity in foreign waters. Authoritative sources said meanwhile the United States has decided to invoke the escalator clause in the 1936 London naval treaty regardless of other powers' decision. The decision was reflected in naval officials' indications that two battleships authorized in 1937-38 appropriations probably would exceed 40,000 tons. Officials evaded direct answers regarding plans but it was understood recent Anglo-Franco-American conversations in London deal with larger ships.

One of the Most Economical I By JANE HOWARD (Advertiser Staff Correspondent) LIHUE, Kauai, March 14. Like another famous garden, the Garden Island of Kauai has its figurative serpent. Crime exists there as in other less favored spots but it can truthfully be said that the serpent does not wax fat and flourish.

He is a young, thin serpent and if present trends on Kauai are successfully continued he will never have the opportunity to improve upon his stunted state. A talk with Judge Carrick Buck, the only woman judge in the Territory revealed some of the reasons why major crimes are uncommon on Kauai. In her chambers at Lihue, this attractive and vital young woman spoke enthusiastically about her work. "For one thing," she said, "Kauai is more off the beaten track than some of the other islands and therefore has missed some of the more sinister aspects of modernization that seem the inevitable complement of up to date improvements. That may be one of the reasons why crime here seldom Simultaneously with the opening of the US navy's gigantic Pacific war games, the USNT Chaumont slid her gray bulk alongside Pier 15 at Pearl Harbor navy yard yesterday to bulwark Oahu's defenses with more than 1,200 United States marines.

The contingent composed of the Second Marine Brigade headquarters and the Sixth Marine Regiment, is under the command of Brig. Gen. John C. Beaumont and is en route from six-months emergency guard duty in the Shanghai war zone. While at Pearl Harbor the marines will be quartered aboard the Chaumont prior to going aboard major units of the fleet sometime after April 1, for transfer to their regular base at San Diego.

While neither Gen. Beaumont nor Lt. CoL J. L. Underhill, commander of the Sixth regiment, would comment on what part their commands would play in the forthcoming Problem 19, the original navy department order withdrawing them from China declared Pearl Harbor Devildogs will see action when the Blue fleet, under command of Admiral Claude C.
