Where a member stated in writ- ing that of his cwnpersonai know- ledge a particular civil servant had been an active political partisan he was automatically dismissed, Sllld Mr. Gardiner.

He was not defending that prac- tice but it had been invariably fol- lowed by all governments in office since 1011. The question did not concern returned soldiers particu- larly. A man was not excused for political partisanship simply be- cause he was a returned soldier.

Only one of the four returned soldiers, Jay, involved had a per- manent job, the Minister went on.

As conversations opened inRome toward an Anglo-Italian friend- sh agreement Britain sought an en ing in friction throughout the Mediterranean and the near and middleeast.

As far as Germany is concerned, the recent developments in middle Europe, where Austria has ac- tented increased Nazi influence and Where Czechoslovakia looks nerv- ously toward the German border, may have made a general settle- ment more difficult to obtain.

These talks, it is indicawd, will determine whether the present or a later date is the best moment to follow- up the approach made last November when Lord Halifax went t0 Germany to meet Chancellor Hitler and obtain from him his ideas oi a European settlement.

The Anglo-Italian negotiations entered preliminary stages when the Earl of Perth, British Ambas- sador, called upon Foreign Minis- ter Count Cinno at the Chigi Pal- ace. Lord Perth returned to Rome Sunday from London with ins-truc- tlons for an inclusive approach to Anglo-Italian problems.

The Ambassador was accompan- ied by Maurice Ingram, chief of the southern European division of the British Foreign Office and formerly counsellor of the Embassy at Rome. The deliberations were expected to continue for a week or

more.

Meanwhile in London the House of Commons was given further in- formation as to the tremendous scope of defence preparedness
