IONDON. Jan. 9-—(0P)-—Prime mlfinisler Chamberlain todary warn- ed the Empire that there is op- proaching "a phase of this war much grimmer than anything we have seen yet," but envisaged a pos- sible reward for sacrifices in s peacotime federation built upon Anglo-French collaboration.

The Prime Minister spoke at s lord Mayor's luncheon at the Man- sion House in the first of a series of speeches by government members to bring home to the people fhat they are up against in the war.

Io offered no quarter to Nazi Germany and left no avenue ‘for an "easy peace."

HE sllzzested that Britain and France are finding their alliance "so valuable that the when the war is over neither of us will want to give it up."

An Unholy Pact

By contrast Mr. Chamberlain call- ed the agreement between Germany and soviet Russia "an unholy plot," Little Finland is fighting “sgslmt the forces of unscrupulous violence, just as we are ourselves," He prom. ised that Britain's aid to Finland, pledged through the league cl! Na. @0115. "will be no more formality,"

Germany, who was lnflicvnq "evil things" upon the Poles and Czechs. “exorcism their resources, carry- ing off their food, starving and shooting the people, tearing them and uprcotlnlz them from the: homes," had set an example of ag- Rfesslbn for Russia‘: attack on Fin- land, the Prime Mlrfister said.

Fresh Sacrifices

LONDON, Jan. 9—A1l British air squadrons in France were brought under a unified air com- mand today to ensure effective support to the British and French armies along the western front.

Air Marshall Arthur S. Barratt who won his wings in June, 1314. and had a distinguished flying re- cord in the First Great War, was given command of “British air forces in fiance."

For the past 20 years. Canada and other countries have been paying the price of in- adequate machinery, lack of pre- cedent and foresight in financing the last war.
