There will be no secret pact or agree- | ment made at the White House which {will bind the people of either Great | | Britain or the United States at this | time, Sir Arthur Marks, member of the House of Lords of the British Parlia- ment, told members of the Civitan Club yesterday. He is a member of the Ram- say MacDonald party. ) “The great bond of friendship exist- ing between the English-speaking peo- ples,” Sir Arthur said, “is being strength- ened by the visit of Prime Minister Mac- | Donald. He is meeting with President | Roosevelt with the idea of showing that our difficulties are your difficulties, and that neither of us working alone can expect a solutiam of our mutual prob- lems. | “The mission, at the invitation of your President, is to make for a better gath- | ering of people at the world economic | conference later on. The visit will be successful simply because no contract is being made and no pact being entered into without first being submitted to| the millions of people at home as well | as the millions of people here. The | conferences at the White House are simply to bring about an understanding of the relative problems of the nations involved. ‘The speaker was introduced by Shel- ton Cameron, president of the club.

Williams, Gordon Dunthorne and Mary thorne. W. H. Thomas, superintendent olrd Fauquier County schools, will pre- side. At Falls Church last night, the com- petition was marked by keen rivalry. Gibson’s topic was, “The Ideals of the Men Who Framed the Constitution—A Challenge to the Men of Today.” In his speech, Gibson cited the tests which the framers of the nstitution successfully met. He spoke for 5 min- utes 43 seconds. Mary Cline of the Franklin-Sherman High School of McLean, won second place in last night’s meet with her ora- tion on “The Virginia Plan.” The last contender to speak, Miss Cline traced the presentation to the Constitution convention of the Virginia plan of Gov- ernment by Randolph, one of Virginia's delegates.

He spoke for 5 minutes 33 seconds. Lytton Gibson was next and then came Harry Carrico of the Lee-Jackson High School. rrico spoke for 5 min- utes 58 seconds on “Personalities of the Constitution.” His oratory was marked by crisp presentation of facts.

Helen MacAslan of the Oakton High School, speaking on “The Constitution,” urged the American people to support President Roosevelt in his heroic efforts to restore the Nation's prosperity. Miss MacAslan spoke for 5 minutes 38_seconds. W. T. Woodson, superintendent of Fairfax County schools, presided over lest night's contest.
