OBSERVERS ASK By Oscar Leldlng LONDON W) Dominating the British political picture, as the ses sion of parliament develops, Is the question whether the national gov ernment Is planning to weld Itself Into a new party. Many In political circles foresee the formation of a national party which would swallow up the conser vative party and the liberal and laborlte supporters of the MaoDon ald cabinet. This step, some say, Is the only logical way for the "temporary" coal ition of 1931 to Insure Itself a more lasting life In the face of Its tre mendous power but growing unpopu larity. ' Critics Cite Dermis Swept Into office In 11)31 by the greatest majority In the nation's his tory, the national government; has had no opposition and critics of Its two-year regime argue that this lack Is reflected In Its conspicuous failure to give an aggressive leadership to the nation. ' These critics assert that public opinion Is rising against the govern ment and as evidence cite Its resound ing defeat in East Fulham, a London borough. In a by-electlon to fill a vacancy In the house of commons, besides the decided laborlte gains In the municipal elections. It Is up to the national govern ment, some political observers say, to do something to recapture Its wan- lng popularity and the formation of 5ay always will cling to the old Ideals a national party may be the answer. of the conservative party and the To others, the fusion of cabinet preBent coalition, with Its laborlte Interests Into one organization Is seen and liberal wings, could hardly be as the form of mild dictatorship led to jiou in the face of such op Great Britain would accept, as well position, as the form which would prevent . , J. any more vigorous type from coming Into power. Announcement of such a plan was looked for on the eve of the last ses sion of the old parliament when Ramsay Mac Donald, prime minister; Stanley Baldwin and Sir John Simon, king, pins of the present coalition, spoke at a nationalist luncheon. But the -"big three" avoided any such proclamation. Alliance Wedged Anew What was said, for the first time officially, vias that , the coalition formed two years ago plans to, go through the next general election In its present form "and retain the power," as MacoDnalWl put It, "of tho national government for the next period of office." "A national government requires a national propaganda," he added. A continued burial of party strife was asked by the three leaders, 1 "The condition of the world now," said MacDonald, life-long laborlte until he consented to head tho coali tion, "means that any attempt to re turn to party government which Is bound very soon to become partisan government Is not only a mistake, It Is a crime." "We are sticking together to see this Job through," said Baldwin, con servative leader and former prime minister. "It will be a long time be fore there Is an election and! there Is a great deal to be done." Tories Remain 'Die-Hards' "There is a transformation taking place In the British mind on the sub ject of party politics," said Sir John Simon, foreign secretary and liberal national leader.

The department has conducted ex periments which show that molsturo affects the quality of ginned lint, The drier consists of a series of shelves through which tho cotton j tumbles while exposed to a blast of hot air. Out Crime Scene QUEZON TO TALK INDEPENDENCE IN CHATS WITH F. R. By K. E. Uomnr MANILA, P. I. T) -- With the pe riod in which the ponding Philip pine independence act must be ac cepted noaring expiration on Janu ary 17, 1034, the insular legislature tied itself into parliamentary knots In trying to reach a decision. The bitter fight began before tho opening of tho annual 100-day ses sion July 17 and it was nearly throe months later before a definite pro gram was advanced by Manuel Que zon, the mercurial senate president, who has completely dominated tho proceedings. . . Plans Washington Trip He then had the legislature go on record as opposing tho aot In its present form, but leaving the way clear for formal acceptance neverthe less before the lapsing of the con gressional proffer of freedom. Quezon then revealed his plan to go to Washington for a conference with President Roosevelt, If the president would assure him1 congress would consider amendments wWch litt desired, he announced would cable a recommendation to tho legislature to accept tho act. IIeiIIh Jtcfereiultim Talk Time and again Quezon denounced (the not as completely unsatisfactory but ho would not assume the re sponsibility of demanding that tho legislature rolcon It outright. The tri ennial general elections are sched uled for next Juno and his foes 'charged ho was afraid of defeat at those polls If he cast aside the 'inde pendence demanded by Filipinos for three decades. Quezon's refusal to approve a ref erendum containing a, single question of acceptance or rejection resulted In scrapping the plan for a plebiscite after all other details were arranged. ' Tho Insular house In 8optombcr adopted a three-question plebiscite bill sponsored by Quezon, Ibuit tho measure bogged down In tho senate. Then Senator 8erglo Osmona, out standing champion of acceptance, with an eye to tho June elections, unexpectedly presented a motion at an all-night session, to accopt tho aot. It was voted down, 15 to 4. Next, Quezon prevailed on tooth "branches to ratify tho senate's ad verse action. This, ho said, did not moan abso lute rejection, as tho law provides bnly that It must bo accepted within 'a year. So (the way apparently was left clear for tho legislature to re verse Itself, If desired. Out of the confusion reigning In Filipino politics for weeks tho only 'clear conclusion was that Quezon was comploto mastor of tho situation. Lindberghs Arrive At Las Palmas, C. I.

"A question before many of us is what change of advertising policy, if any, should be made in view of present financial and business conditions. It is per fectly natural for us to give consideration to some degree of retrenchment, but it is dangerous to let re duction in expenditure be such as to bring about a real gap in the continuity of the advertising. It is a com mon mistake'for some advertisers to think that they can turn advertising on and off like water from a fau cet and expect it to become immediately effective whenever they are prepared to resume operations. Advertising does not work that way. Temporary con ditions should not influence us to make too serious inroads on the program of advertising, which can be wisely conceived only on a long term basis."
