Ph. 654 Chamberlain Tells Of Retaliation Move (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) plans for reprisals. Chamberlain said The Hague convention to which Germany was a party provided that when an chored mines are used every pre caution must be taken for security of peaceful navigation. The British for instance assert that the mines they please are so arranged that, if they break loose, they are auto matically rendered harmless. "This is the very essence of the convention as a mine cannot dis criminate between a ",'arship and a merchant ship; between a belli gerent and a neutral," the prime minister said. Chamberlain said the conven tion provided, that a danger zone must be announced as soon as mil itary exigencies permit, once the mines have ceased to be under ob servation of those who laid them. The prime minister said if un anchored mines are used they must become harmless one hour after those who laid them have lost con trol over them. "Culmination" "None of those provisions has been observed by the German gov ernment in laying mines which oc casioned the losses 1 mentioned and this fresh outrage is only the culmination of a series of violations of agreements to which Germany set her hand." he said, citing the sinking of the British liner Ath enia with a loss of 112 lives on the first day of the war. 'These attacks have been made often without warning and to an increasing extent In complete dis regard of the dulcs laid down in the submarine protocol to which Germany subscribed or to the ele mentary dictates of humanity. 'The government Is not prepar ed to allow these methods of war fare to continue without retalia tion." 'I may remind the house that in the last war as a measure of justi fied reprisal for submarine attacks on merchant shipping, exports of German origin or ownership were made subject to seizure on the high seas," the prime minister said. (In Berlin, suggestions last week that Britain would seize exports from Germany resulted in Nazi comment that the action would work the -greatest hardships on neutrals because the goods export ed are out of German hands or ownership when they leave Ger man ports.) One of the Mastiff's crew died of injuries and four were miss ing. She was of 490 tons and was the sixth British warship lost in the war. She presumably went down while engaged in the peri lous work of clearing mines out of the North Sea shipping lanes where they had wreaked havoc on mer chant shipping during the week end. The explosion that sank the Mastiff was heard on shore and a lifeboat, motorboat and airplanes rushed to the scene. A passing f-hip picked up some of the Mas tiff's crew and transferred four of the injured to a lifeboat. The four were suffering from severe burns, exhaustion and shock and one died in a hospital where the other three wore confined. Another merchant loss, not a victim of the new activity, was confirmed today when the New castle lines announced that hope had been abandoned for the 4.600 ton steamer Newton Beech and her crew of 34, overdue for more than a month. Of the 12 ships reported sunk since Saturday, the Mastiff was the only warship. She was the first British mine-sweeper lost and took her place along with the battleship Royal Oak, the air craft carrier Courageous, an un named destroyer, the tug Northern Rover and the submarine Oxeley. sunk by accident, as a wartime casualty. The Mastiff carried one four-inch and two smaller guns. She was launched Feb. 17, 1938. GOLD FIGL'RE LESS WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.

It's easy to Select Fine California Wines... LOOK FOR THE ROMA IDENTIFICATION! England To Take American Scrap Iron NEW YORK, Nov. 21 A record order for 850,000 tons of scrap iron has been placed in the United States for shipment to England's war-burdened steel mills, it was learned today in trade circles. .

Gandhi, demanding a pledge of India's independence as the price of cooperation in the European war, declared today, "the issue is purely moral, for owing to her material and military con trol, Britain is able to regulate garrisons and drain India's wealth at will." The wispy, 70-ycar-old Indian nationalist leader, refreshed by his invariable Monday period of sil ence, met at Allahabad with a com mittee of the congress party (na tionalists) seeking to influence the country's attitude toward the war. Complicating the situation is the ever-present strife between Hin dus and Moslems, which resulted in 12 deaths yesterday in rioting at Sukkur, in the province of Sind, northwestern India, Eleven persons were killed there Sunday in the disturbances orig- A VALUE mm i FURNITURE COMPANY .... ... .... ...... ...ni rTON COMPANY, INC.
