house of commons committee
on privileges had decided that
a special military court com-
mitted a breach of privilege in
summoning Duncan Sandys to
tell here he got secret anti-
aircraft defense data.
COMMITTEE PROBING
The army court, constituted to
find and plug the leak, already had
bowed to the house in a stirring
conflict between parliament and
army—a quarrel which raised the
possibility that the Chamberlain
government might stand or fall on
the outcome.
The committee did not recom-
mend further action in reporting
- its unanimous finding through the
prime minister.
. The court will remain idle until
the select committee—not the priv-
ileges committee—makes its report.
War Secretary Leslie Hore Beli-
sha, around whom the storm swirl-
ed. went before commons to state
his position. He said that informa-
tion which Sandys had obtained
showed that 'he was not only con-
versant with details of Britain’s
secret anti-aircraft defense scheme
but was kept up to date on changes.

President Roosevelt, gazing into
the future today, predicted that
history would say* his "long-
ranged budget" had been bal-
anced.
This calculation, the president
declared, would be based on
"survival values for our popula-
tion and for our democratic way
of living, balanced against
what we have paid for them,”
in addition to the usual items
of government income and out-
go.

I for ’ • •
The president chose the laying of
the cornerstone lor the iair’s feder-
- al building to make a new declara-
tion against war and to stress the
’ importance of good neighborliness.
"All of us realize, of course,” he
- said, "that the affairs of many parts
of the world are, to put it politely,
somewhat distraught. Such a condi-
tion necessarily accompanies wars
and rumors of wars.”
The chief executive noted that
"We are extremely concerned
that Sandys should have been in
possession of such information,”
Hore Belisha went on, referring to
a document which he said had fall-
en into the youthful conservative's
hands.
"The document was an emergency
plan of defense of the air officer
commanding in chief, drawn up in
April,’ the minister said "It con-
tained emergency directions, show-
ing the exact idispositions to be
' tken by our gum, and the exact
numbers and sources from which
they were to be provided
"It is a document of highest se-
crecy.”
Superficially it was a tug-of-war
between commons and cabinet, but
beneath was the deeper issue be-
tween the people and the army. The
commons echoed to passages from 4
the grand remonstrance and the .
bill of rights as parliament mem-
bars asserted their constitutional
1 privileges prevented ministers from
doing what the ministers of Ger-
many can do.'*
