For two hours Thursday, from 10 a. m. to noon, all commercial and indus- trial activity has been asked to cease by Mayor Obert A. Olson while the city watches the annual parade of military, patriotic and humane or- ganizations and takes part in the an- nual exercises in the City Auditoruim. Soores of marching units will take part in the parade which is scheduled to leave the intersection of Second St. and Broadway at 10:15 a. m. with Adj. Gen. Heber L.

Chamberlain, apparently encour- aged by President Roosevelt's Octo- ber 5 Chicago peace address and by United States participation in the Brussels conference, called for fuller 'British-American collaboration Tues- ,|¢ay night in a speech at Guildhall. Pravda asserted that the real pur- pose of the Italian-German-Japanese agreement against Communism was to ~|obtain territory, in a new World war, and urged collective action by the United States, Britain and France against the three powers.

Against those who lauded the three- time prime minister as savior of the nation in the dark days of 1931, there were others who regarded him as a traitor to the labor party he built. The 71-year-old Scotsman, Britain’s first labor prime minister and the first prime minister to visit the United States, died Tuesday night aboard a South America-bound ship on a quest for the peace and happiness he had failed to find in his unique, stormy Political career. ROOSEVELT REGRETS MacDONALD’S PASSING Washington, Nov. 10—(4)—Presl- dent Roosevelt issued the following statement Wednesday on the death of J. Ramsay MacDonald, former prime minister of Great Britain. “Because Ramsay MacDonald labored long and successfully for the good of his fellowmen, he will be mourned by those throughout the world who call themselves lib- erals. I am glad to have known him as a friend and I deeply re- gret his death.” He had sailed last Thursday in search of what he called “the most elu- sive of all forms of happiness—rest.” Death spparently was due to s heart attack following a long period ‘of poor Health. His daughter Sheila, off the ship, Reina del Pacifico, at Bermude Monday and returned for burial either in England or at his ‘beloved Lossiemouth, Scotland. The two-room cottage where he was born Oct. 12, 1866, still stands in Los- ‘stemouth, Tribute came from all for the man who rose from that humble dwelling to No. 10 Downing Street. Bus the tribute was for two distinct phases of his career. Conservatives praised MacDonald’s momentous action in forming a na- tional government at the behest of George V in the financial crisis of 1931—an action which cost him the friendship of virtually all his old labor and socialist colleagues. But his one-time co-workers, who in 1931 had denounced him as de- serting them “for the drawing rooms of the rich,” Wednesday praised his work for labor before the great split. Only six weeks ago the Scotsman who never accumulated wealth was be- queathed about $200,000 in trust by Sir Alexander Grant, a biscuit manu- facturer and close friend of the form- er prime minister. After resigning as prime minister June 7, 1935, when he was succeeded by conservative Stanley Baldwin, Mac- Donald remained in public life until last May.
