British Government Cannot Ignore Pos- sibility Says Pre- mier Chamberlain.

IDNDON, Dec. l2 (OP) —Great Iritsin and Franco conveyed con- cern to Germany today over the rfbiiity ah may swallow Memel

mother t rust to the east.

Prime Minister Chamberlain In- formed the House of Commons that the British and French en- voys 1n Berlin had been instruct- ed to join in "expressing the hone that the German Govemment will use its influence to ensure respect" for the 19M statute of Memel, which nve the former Germs/n ferrite? a measure of ‘ nomy Inder lthuanian control.

Britain and France are signa- tories in the 1W4 convention. In- formed observers in London ex- gected them tc protest if Chamel-

r Hitler should “permit" the M614? Germans to return to the

Rel . .

It was considered ploblematical whether such a return would take the form of actual annexatlcn by Germany or ‘elm to- the Dan- Ila pattern of a separate Nazi state controlled through the Nazi party from Berlin.

Replying to a question about merdays Meme! Diet elections,

which Nazis scored heavily. Mr. Chamberlain said:

"There is reason to think that after the Memei elections demands may l“ made up n the Lithuanian Government by majority Dflrties in tne met. which would be incon- sistent with the statute of Memel.

‘The British Government. as a F""W'!ll'\' of the Memel conven- Ion. cannot ignore this possibility.

‘ill new of t-h-e special influence which the German Government is in a position to exert. in tlhese the British Charac d'Affalrs in Berlin had been in- structed to Jctn with the French Ambassador in expressing the hope that the Genman Government will use its influence to ensure respect for the statute."

‘Ilhe current Italian propaganda olmbailvn for French territory led to questioninu of Mr. Chamberlain rezardrintt Britain's attitude. He said only that Britain bod no pact or treat; specifically requlrinlgTh-er

Stlll despite il-le fine harbor Charlottetown had a "black eye" in shipping circles. the speaker continued. It was becoming known among ship owners as a "hell of a place to gem-because oi lack of docking facllities._ ‘

"'l’."I'.ei-|e'c§uue~§ulps Are from‘ ct

Every year he had enquiries from operators of large cruise ships, 10, 15 and even 2O thousand tons, desirous of calling here. They had to be advised against it be- cause of condition of docks. Dif- ficulty of the North star, only 3.- 000 tons in coming to dock was mentioned. It was a situation that was an “outraqe" but the people appeared indifferent. Complaints of shippers and shipplnng com- panies oi high handling charges here was another difficulty and was doing something to dry up shipping in this port. Mr. Hydn- man told the meeting. He had no personal axe to grind. was not seeking to enter "olltlm. was not a. shipper and was not ofierlnil criticism He merely wished to place before the men the situation as it had been resented to him.

Improved ockinz facilities would come if public opinion be- came strcnr cnolluh. the speaker predicted. Politicians "kept their ear to the ground" and did not act in advance of public opinion.

So far as he was concerned. Mr. Hvndman said, he becamelrlterest- ed in transportation as far back as 191i and had joined the Beard of ‘Prado and fought for improved facilities ever since. The terms of Confederation called for "efficient. continuous communication with the mainland winter and summer" and if they. with other terms of union. were fully carried out would make this Province the most pro- sperous in the Dominion. “There should be no unemployment in this Province," the sneaker declar- ed.
