(By the Associated Preaa)
The stillness of the western
front was broken by a sudden
burst of sharp fighting northwest
of Saarlonis in the Nied river sec
tor on the northern flank. The
Germans were said to have re
treated before withering French
machine gun fire, leaving dead
hanging on barbed wire.
The French chamber of depu
ties ended two days of secret de
bate with a S43 to 0 vote of con
fidence in the government of Pre
mier Edoaard Daladler. It . was
the second time in less than three
months that Daiadier won the
backing of the chamber on a ques
tion of confidence and now he
stands in a stronger poeition than
at any time since the war began.
Tbe unanimous vote came
shortly after France senii-officlal-ly
indicated she would not join
any international economic system
or disarmament move until the
"constant peril" of Germany had
been "wiped out."
Viewed aa Answer
To Hull's Suggestion
The French statement was an
informal answer to suggestions by
the United States secretary of
state, Cordell Hull, who has called
on all neutral nations to join in
charting "the sort of world we are
going to have after the war" and
in formulating plans to guide the
belligerent to a peace of eco
nomic sanity.
Hull said in Washington that
it was his plan to bring proposals
concerning armaments and com
mercial policies to tbe attention
of every government disposed to
take an interest In them.
The British air ministry. Sir
Klngsley Wood, backed up
France's stand with an emphatic
declaration in a speech at Bristol.
England, that the allies would
fight on to "a real peace, not a
patched up pact that would leave
Europe once again the subject
of assault and violation."
Britain acknowledged the sink
ing of two armed trawlers Friday
with the loss of 22 Uvea In Ger
many's latest air assault on North
sea shipping. Four other ships
were badly damaged.

The governor denounced tbe
Roosevelt administration's gold
policy, which, he said, "stores up
countless millions of dollars In
gold in a hole In the ground in
stead of allowing it freely to cir
culate as the foundation of in
ternational monetary systems."
"We republicans will need to
revise our tariff policy," be
averred In speaking of national
economic policy. "We must recog
nise that we have become a
creditor nation, and that imports
are as necessary to our economy
as exports. If others are to pay
their debts to us. we must buy
their good."
Labor, Sprague said, would do
well to consider the fate of labor
parties In Europe which bound
themselves Inextricably to a par
ticular political party. "In Rus
sia 22 years ago working people
united with a particular political
faith, and now the Russian people
eat black bread, and pay fit
s fifth for vodka."

1940's Fashions
Smart Says Buyer
'Flattering' Is Word Given
by Mrs. Bloomberg on
Return From East
"1940 spring fashions are def
initely the smartest and most flat
tering shown in many a season
and women of Salem should pre
pare for a real treat when they see
tbe new models in coats, suits and
drease for spring." was the report
brought back by Mrs. S. I. Bloom
berg, buyer for Milgrim's, upon
her return yesterday from an ex
tensive buying trrp to New York
and eastern fashion centers.
Leading shops on New York's
Fifth avenue are featuring navy
and black with colorful accessor
ies. Rose and powder blue are
also very prominent in the spring
fashion picture, according to Mrs.
Bloomberg.
Mrs. Bloomberg stated a great
er number of buyers than usual
converged on the New York mar
ket aad the feeling was general
that a favorable spring business
was in prospect, due to more
smartly styled merchandise being
offered and from the general up
turn in business.
Encountering severely cold
weather on the entire trip, Mrs.
Bloomberg stated it was a relief
to return home to the mild climate
of the Willamette valley.

PORTLAND. Feb. 10.-(P)-Sul-fapyridine,
a new drug related to
sulfanilamide, was credited today
by Dr. Adolph Weinzirl with sav
ing the lives of two children.
The youngsters, whose identi
ties were not revealed by Dr.
Weinairl, city health officer, were
"desperately sick" with measles
complicated by pneumonia.
"The condition of these chil
dren on admission (to the city
isolation hospital) was so serious
j that it seemed that only a miracle
could save them," Dr. Weinzirl
jsaid. "Yet, with medical atten-
j tion, good nursing care and the
j use of this new drug, both chll-
: dren are now convalescing satisfactorily."

would eventually become a peace
loving, popular government which
would not interfere with the in
tegrity ot its neighbors."
. Then, as his shivering guests
stood in silence, he added:
"That hope is today either
shattered or put away in storage
against a better day. The soviet
anion, as a matter of practical
fact, known to you and known
to all the world, is a dictatorship
as absolute as any other dictator
ship in the world.
"It has allied Itself with an
other dictatorship and it has In
vaded a neighbor so inflnitesim
ally small that it could do no
injury to the soviet union, and
seeks only to live at peace as a
democracy, and a liberal forward
looking democracy at that."
Communists Have
Rights, Conceded
Agitation in youth congress for
expulsion of its communistic ele
ments one of its 63 affiliates is
the Young Communist League
stirred unusual Interest in what
Mr. Roosevelt might have to say
on communism.
The chief executive asserted
any communists In the organiza
tion had a right as Americans
to call themselves communists
and to "peacefully and openly"
advocate certain Ideals of theo
retical communism.
But he added, it was the
"sacred duty" of such elements
to confine their advocacy of
changes in law to methods pre
scribed by the constitution. He
said they had "no" American
right, by act or deed of any kind,
to subvert the government and
the constitution ot this nation."
Applause and whistling greeted
this statement. Earlier, in the
3.000-word address, carried by
radio across the land, there was
scattered hand clapping when the
president mentioned a resolution
by one of the organization's af
filiated councils opposing Ameri
can loans to Finland on the
ground that such action was "an
attempt to force America Into
the imperialistic war."
It was not clear whether the
applause was for the resolution
or for the speaker's criticism of
it, although one distinct "boo"
arose from the crowd when the
president described as "unadult
erated twaddle" the reasoning
behind the resolution.
