career did not know that the Munich
meeting was to be held. His somber
speech Indicated he thought war in
evitable. He will leave for Munich
at 10:30 p. m., PS.T.. tonight.
But a pencil scribbled note handed
to him an hour and a half after
he began explaining why It appeared
war must come changed the gloomy
tense house and galllertes Into i
cheering frenzied mass.
It was a message from Hitler In
vltlng him as the premier of Prance
and Italy also were Invited to the
Munich conference.
Chamberlain, who had ordered
Britain's mighty fleet mobilized last
night, had made one final effort
for negotiation by an appeal through
Mussolini. Hitler's partner In the
fascist axis, and It worked.
England Jubilant
The news waa received with al
most the same Jubilation In England
as If an actual armistice had been
declared. Many believed It waa tan
tamount to that, because the mo
bilization which the fuehrer deferred
24 hours almost Inevitably would
have meant war with Czechoslovakia
with the probability all the major
European nations would be araggea
In.
Chamberlain told tho cheering
house:
"I will go to see what I can do
as a last effort."
In his words was seen a warning
the danger was far from over.
But a few minutes later he shout
ed to a cheering throng that hailed
him outside 10 Downing street:
"It's all right this time!"
The British people, who had been
dleglng trenchea. and fitting on
grotesque gas masks did not worry
about the ominous ring 01 unamoer
Iain's reference to "last effort."
Rid of the tension of staring war
In the face they became Jubilant
and cheered "Good old Nev."
Storks Up
Stocks bounded upward In after-
hours trading, reflecting the opti
mism of financial circles.
Informed circles expressed hope
the conference between heads ol
the two democracies and the two
great fascist powers might give gun
brlstllng Europe more than a breath
ing spell. There wss revived talk of
a pact among the "big four" and
settlement of other problems beyond
that of Czechoslovakia.
The Munich conference revives at
least temporarily Chamberlain's pro
gram of "dealing with dictators"
that seemed shattered yesterday.
But If he makes too many conces
sions In their favor at Munich, where
Hitler began his march to world
power IB years ago, he will risk a
storm of opposition at home.
Powerful sections of England, al
though eager for peace, do not want
to pay too big a price for It.
Among those who heard Chamber
lain's words to parliament were
Queen Mother Mary and diplomats
of every country who could find

Invitation From Hitler
The Invitation from Hitler for the
Munich meeting came even as Cham
berlain was telllcg a tense parlia
ment of hie apparently hopeless ef
forts to avert war.
He revealed the fuehrer's Invita
tion followed bis own appeal to
Mussolini to restrain the German
leader and II Duce's telephone com
munication to Berlin.
Chamberlain said eiltler had agreed
to postpone mobilization of the Ger
man army for 24 hours to permit the
latcful Munich conference of the
premiers to be held.
While he talked the British fleet
was mobilizing, millions of men
were under arms in Britain. Ger
many, France, Italy and Czechoslo
vakia. Just as Chamberlain concluded an
hour and a half talk he waa handed
a penciled note by Sir John Simon,
the home minister.
Crisis Postponed
He read It. lifted his eyes from
the paper and announced the Invi
tation for him, Daladler and Mus
solini to meet Hitler tomorrow.
The premier said:
"I need not say what my answer
will be. I will go to see what I can
do as a last effort." t
The house Immediately adjourned
until Monday aB Chamberlain mak
ing his momentous disclosure ended
speaking at 4:20 p.m. (7:20 a.m.,
PST).
The whole house and galleries
stood and cheered madly.
"No member of the house will not
feel his heart leap that the crista Is
once more postponed," said Cham
berlain In low tones as he con
cluded. In a few lightning moments after
Simon handed him the scrap of pen
cilled paper, he painted the changed
aspect ol world affairs.
"Hitler has Invited me, Mussolini
and Daladler to Munich tomorrow
morning." he cried.
"I need not say what my answer
will be."
Then he disclosed the 24-hour
postponement of German mobiliza
tion and the fact Mussolini had
sent his Berlin ambassador to For
eign Minister Joachim von Rlbben
trlp to ak Hitler to defer his use
of force against the Czechoslovaks.
There waa no Indication Czecho
slovakia would be directly repre
sented at Munich.
All thla came after Chamberlain's
electrifying break in his hour and
a half somber speech.
He broke his words off to read
the note and then sa!d to the
hushed house:
"I have something else to tell the
house now."
And when he told It the tlrae
wcrn commons became a bedlam of
cheers.
FORD M'CORMICK
TELLS ROTARIANS
ALL ABOUT CUBA
An Interesting addreu dealing with
American's neighboring republic.
Cuba, was presented at Tuesday's
lu ncheon meetl ng of the Medford
Rotary club by Ford McCormlck,

eral years Mr. McCormlck supervised
a copper mine on the laland and
his description of the little republic

received by the Rotartans at their
weekly luncheon at the Hotel Med

less than the area of the state of
Pennsylvania, the speaker pointed
out. It lies wholely In the tropics,
has no prisonous snakes and palms
and .tropical foliage grow In profus
ion, he said. Sugar Is Cuba's princi
pal product with tobacco raising, the
manufacture of tea and molasses,
mining and the shipping of tropical
fruits among the Important indus
tries. A fine highway extends the length
of the Island and a total of 3,000
ml lea of railroads are established In
our little sister republic, McCormlck
told the Rotarlans. Natives comprise
80 percent of the population.
Ford McCormlck concluded his In
teresting address with a brief out
line of Cuba's past and present gov
ernments. Bob Holmes, representing the Med
ford Junior high school, announced
the public appearance of the ma
gician. Marquis, at the Junior high

A BURNING QUESTION
The simple secret of the burning glass is .
concentration. It produces intense heat by con
centrating the sun's rays within a small area.
Concentrated in the pages of your daily
newspaper is the news of the world, all the
essential facts of far-flung battle lines, the
discoveries of science, the administration of
government, the world of sport, business and
entertainment.
This concentration of information produces
intense reader interest, which begets results
for advertisers. Few persons realize, until
they have experienced isolation, how intense is
the desire for news. Advertising, too, is news.
The burning question in business today is
how to spend wisely, without waste, for the
things of solid value. In the field of adver
tising the newspaper is an obvious answer.
