Made a Grand Suc- cess Again This Year of Providing A Merry Christmas For Little Ones Who Otherwise M i g h t Have Been.- Over- looked.

Th, magnificent rally of Santa Pals in the last two days oleezed the decks for Christmas-eve distri- bution of gifts for some five or six hundred kiddies. A‘l day Saturday Rover Scouts were busily engaged in their den panelling toys, cand- ies. apples, and oranges, and will be similarly employed again today. It is no light task, but the Rovers reve‘. in it, being as it is, part of their creed to help "lame dogs over fences." Charlottetown is very for- tunafe in possessing a crew of young m*n_cf all dehomin tions, not on‘y wvllng but anxlou", to give their time Pfld labour to lightrn the bu:- d:n_of less rortunately circumtanc- ed brothers.

Th~ Guardian once more thanks the Clergy, the Rovers, and above an the generous, great-hearted Santa Pals, who. this year as in many past years have responded to the appeal to make chri-tmas what ii, ought to be to alhunsophlstlcat- ed, believing ‘ittle ones in our elli- ital and environs.

The appointment of the 88-year-old Eden was regarded In informed indication that Great Brlfai would maintain a strong stand st Geneva for sanctions against Italy.

POPULAR APPOINTMENT

These quarters believed that, in the present condition of world af- fairs. Eden's elevation would be welcomed by politicians of all Dar- ties in Britain. His prime strength at the moment is his established reputation as a convinced believer in the League of Nations as the ikeynote of a policy of collective security.

Moreover. he has had an intensive apprenticeship to what is at present that thorniest position in the cabl- ne. Eden was reliably understood to have been one of the cabinet min- isters most strongly opposed to the Bronco-British peace proposals, when the terms became known. There were even reports-that he was Prepared" to resign if the govern- ment adhered to the pro osals.

However, so great was t e outcry from all sides against the Paris pro- posals that the Government shelved them and Sir Samuel resigned from the post of Foreign Secretary.

The proposals were presented by Eden and M. Laval to the League Council at Geneva but it was made dear they had not the backing of the British and French governments and that the League was free to deal with them as it wished.

The League sidetracked them and in last Thursday's foreign policy debate in the House oi Commons. Prime Minister Baldwip announced they were "dead" and sold the gov- ernment would not resurrect them.

No immediate comment on the appointment of Eden was forth- coming from,Rome but it was believed here that it would be re- garded as a direct notice to Italy that Britain's policy in the Italo- Ethioplon situation would hence- forth be firm and uncompromiJ-rg.

Just before the announcement came from No 10 Downing Street, a spokesman in Rome told the As- sociated Press: "The appointment of Eden would be a menace to peace."

The brief announcement said: “The King has been pleased to ap- prove that the Right Honorable Anthony Eden, M.C., M.P., be ap- pointed Sccretary of State for For- eign Affairs."

It was understood the post of league of Nations Minister would be discontinued.

It was stated authoritatively that Britain will push for oil and other sanctions against Ialy as soon as all Mediterranean countries have promised to support her in case of an Italian attack.

Mr. Baldwin held lengthy con- versations yesterday with Eden and with Sir Austen Chamberlain. former Foreign Secretary. Prior to the appointment, Sir Austen had been mentioned as a possible suc- cessor to Sir Samuel l-loare.

Sir Samuel had an audience with the King at Buckingham Palace and planned to return im- medlately to Switzerland. to re- sume his interrupted holiday there.

(By Glenn Babb Copyright 1935 by The Associated Press)

TOKYO, Dec. ‘dz-Statements by Japanese military authorities dis- closed tonight that Japan's army in Manchoukuo, with or without the consent of the Tokyo Govern- ment, has embarked on a definite campaign of military pressure on outer Mongolia.

The situation was regarded as fraught with danger of conflict; between Japan and Soviet Russia, because the Japanese army pro- tects Manchoukuo and dictates notions. while the Soviet Union dominates outer Mongolia.

The new military campaign. it W88 lelrfled. has been carried out for the avowed purpose oi delim. "4118 the “ambiguous" boundary

MOSCOW, Dec. 22-(A.P.)—Re- ports from Khabarovsk through official Soviet news channels to- day salzl the Japanese army in Mlanchorkuo was studying. a plan for invasion of outer Mongolia.

Proponents of the plan. the dis- patches from the city in far east- ern Russla said, were urging the Japanxr to carry it out immed- dately even if it should bring Jap- an to war with the Soviet Union.

'I'he official dispatches accused the Japanese army command 1n Manchoukuo oi acting on its in- itiutlve without the approval of the Tokyo administration.

The reports, distributed by the Tflss Agency. said the Japanese armv in Manchoukuo had applied to Tokyo immediately aft/er the breakdown in negotiations with Mongolia a few weeks ago rm- per- mission to invade Mongolia.

Spies S e e k Data On New British Plane

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON, Dec. 22—News of a daring night raid by suspect- ed spies, seeking secret data on a new all-metal British air- plane being bullt at Graves-end. stirred the country today as an intensive manhuntwas launch- ed by Scotland Yard.

Ag dawn yesterday the night sentry of the Gravesend army airport, making his rounds, noted the doors of one oi the. hangars were open.

He entered the hangar and confronted a man oi about 30. A furious fight ensued but it ended abruptly when an- other mon, apparently an ac- complice of the spy suspect. rushed up from behind and dealt the sentry a stunning blow with a club.

The sentry fell unconscious. when he regained his senses he gave an alarm and Scotland Yard and other police author- ities immediately launched a search. .

The suspected spies, it was believed, were seeking the plans

, of the new secret all-metal ship. The plans are kept else- where. Both men. however,

were believed to have made a thorough study of the wlrgs of the new ship.

,_.___ (C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, Dec. 22. - Postpone- ment of decision pending clarifica- tion of an offer of settlement and reopening of hearing to receive new and important evidence will be sought in the famous "Gypsum Queen" civil action of the Crown before the Exchequer Court on Jan. 'l. The suit is to recover $71,000 rc- paratlohs money from Senator Hence J. Logan, Amherst, N.S., nno Captain Freeman Hatfield, held at Manchester, NJ-f.

Writing another chapter in on is- sue which has been in the spot- light. for more than three years in the way oi a Royal Commission and Cflrrt proceedings, notice oi the motion was filed in Court Saturday by W. G. Pugsley, Ottawa. acting for the 77-year-old retired shipping master. Based oh the claim of the Crown the three-mashed schooner was not terpedoed at sca off the Irish coast in Aug, 1915, as claimed by Hatfied and Logan as his solici- tor before‘ the reparations commis- sioner, but was lost in a storm, the case was heard for several weeks lost January before Justice E. R. Angers. Decision has not been ren- dered.

'l'.'he offer of settlement is under- stood to have been made recently to Hatfield by ‘United States lawyers who have bccn acting for the Can- adian Government. Pugslcy said in an affidavit he has been informed it proposed the Crown should take the $30,000 worth of assets of ih

Captain seized in the State of New u,

Jersey, with the exception of $3.000 in securities to be turned back to the aged skipper. Pugslcy was waif.- ing for details as to whether this offer would involve the dropping oi all civil proceedings and if it would mean also the stopping of extradi- tion proceedings to bring Hatfield back to Canada to face a charge of fraud, hesald.
