HALIFAX TAKES EDENSPOST: | HITLER DEMANDS COLONES: CZECHS OUTLAW SHASTI

French Cabinet Faces Test As Foreign Affairs Debate Opens.

warning against the spread of Naziism in Austria. The Ministry of Education ordered the University Technical School at Graz closed because students joined in the Nazi demonstrations. Between 500 and 600 high school pupils at Linz paraded, demanding union with Germany and shouting: «Heil Hitler! One nation, one

Reich!” : Called Hero

The demonstration came after teachers had explained the significance of the speech, as was done at schools all over Austria. Nevertheless, the majority of the country hailed Chancellor Schuschnigg as a national hero because of his vigorous speech to the Bundestag and his ringing, defiant, final words: “Until death the red-white-red, the banner of our beloved Fatherland Austria!”

Hitler Again

Demands Colonies

BERLIN, Feb. 25 (U. P.).—Private Nazi quarters expressed surprise and resentment today at the firmness with which Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria told his side of negotiations with Germany in his speech to the Austrian Diet last night. Inspired comment was still to come. Interest in the speech was overshadowed by Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's indication, in a speech last night at Munich, that measures were to be taken against Jewish “provocateurs” in Germany. It was a speech to the Nazi “Old Guard” on the 18th anniversary of Herr Hitler's proclamation of his 25-point Nazi program. It was a private celebration at the famous Munich Hofbrauhaus. The Fuehrer spoke for an hour. Only the official news agency was permitted to report a summary of it. Chancellor Hitler told his Old Guard that Germany’s colonies must be restored and that she must have unconditional equality with other powers. He outlined Germany’s military, political and economic situation; discussed plans for the year and said: “Germany wants peace and understanding, but it must be an honorable peace.”

French Socialists Attack Dictators

PARIS, Feb. 25 (U. P.).—Socialists in the Chamber of Deputies called on the Government today to take a firm stand against dictators, opening a debate on foreign affairs in which Premier Camille Chautemps staked the life of his Government.

Italy Reduces

- Libya Garrisons

ROME, Feb. 25 (U. P.).—The Italian Government is “temporarily” reducing its garrison in Libya, adjoining Egypt, to facilitate the coming British-Italian negotiations, an authoritative source revealed today.

Loyalist Mutiny Reported From Spain

PARIS, Feb. 25 (U. P.).—Reports from the French border city of Perpignan said today that part of the

Loyalist garrison at Barcelona had |b

revolted on the grounds that it would be a useless sacrifice to go to the Teruel front. The reports were not confirmed from Spain.

Rumania Ratifies

King Carol’s Rule

BUCHAREST, Feb. 25 (U. P).— : Interest in the declarations of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria today overshadowed the results of yesterday’s plebiscite on Rumania’s new constitution. . Semiofficial tabulations showed 4,165,195 voters favored granting King Carol supreme power in formation of an authoritarian state, while 5313 were opposed.

Sudeten Leader Goes to Berlin; Party Asks Autonomy.

By WEBB MILLER (Copyright, 1938, by United Press)

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Feb. 25.—Czechoslovakia, fighting to retain her 3,500,000 citizens of German birth whom Adolph Hitler wants to reclaim for the Reich, has outlawed all outward forms of Naziism.

No Nazi flags fly here. No arms are lifted publicly in the | Nazi salute. Neighbor never greets neighbor saying, “Heil, Hitler.” There was no parade, no shouting last Sunday when Herr Hitler in his Reichstag speech proclaimed a protectorate over the ten million continental Germans living outside of Germany. Laws forbid.

But occasionally on soft soil one sees the imprint of the swastika— made by a Nazi sympathizer who has outlined the Nazi cross in hobnails on the soles of his shoes. In that way the Nazi sympathizers indicate their ' defiance of |Czechoslovakia and their determination to achieve some sort of unity with Germany.

Leader Goes to Berlin

Most of the 3,500,000 Germans who live in Czechoslovakia are concentrated along the: German’ frontier. Sixty per cent are member of the Sudeten Deutsche Party which gets its inspiration and basic political direction from Berlin. It is significant that Konrad Henlein, party leader, has gone to Berlin, ostensibly to attend a concert. Few doubt that he will confer with Nazi officials while there. In his absence the campaign of the Sudeten Germans against Czechoslovakia goes on. Since Herr Hitler's Reichstag speech two fiery addresses have been made by Sudgeten delegates to the Czechoslovakian Chamber of Deputies. “We refuse to be subject to Czech policy any longer,” shouted Deputy May. “We Sudeten Germans feel that the time of helplessness and weakness is past. ‘We say go on with your despotism if you wish, but remember that you and your children will bear the consequences.”

Won’t Recognize Nation

The last sentence was ordered stricken from the Chamber records, but the Sudeten Germans will not be quieted. Deputy K. H. Frank made a speech at Carlsberg along the same lines: “Since we were not present when the State erected its Constitution we cannot recognize Czechoslovakia as a national state. We have never: renounced our right to self-determi-nation and we have said that in Parliament time after time.” The Sudeten Party has 42 seats in the Chamber, making it one of the largest political parties. At the, party headquarters on one of the principal Prague streets, there were no Nazi salutes, flags or uniforms and the official in charge, Dr. Wilhelm | Sebekovsky, was calmer than the Sudeten deputies. He said the Sudetens welcomed Herr Hitler's Reichstag speech insofar as it applied to racial and cultural unity with the Reich. The Sudeten goal, he added, is territorial self-determination within the framework of Czechoslovakia, not territorial attachment to Germany. He assured me that the Sudetens would continue to work for their aims through peaceful, parliamentary means rather than by recource to violence. Dr. Sebekovsky charged that the Czechs, ever since the formation of the republic, had discriminated against the German minority

Germany, including Herr Hitler's “Mein Kampf.”

. 4. Barring German lecturers and

musicians. “We demand,” Dr. Sebekovsky said, “that we have representation in all phases of national life commensurate with our numerical ratio. We regard the frontier between us and our German brothers in the Reich as a bridge, not a wall. We are continuing our ficht in Parliament for thesé conceptions.”

The Czechoslovakian side of the story was outlined to me by a high

VETERANS MAP FIGHT ON BUND

Churches and Civic Groups Here Asked to Block: Nazi Attempts.

The American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars today planned to enlist the aid of churches and other t Se wa in, a united fight against’ attempts organize German - Nazi Bund branches in Indianapolis. These plans were drafted after brown cards were distributed, announcing a meeting would be held here March 14 to organize a Ger-man-American Bund. Ancil Morton, V. F. W. district commander, and Albert F. Meurer, Legion 12th District commander, have accepted the leadership in combatting reported efforts of Nazi agents to organize groups here. Hall Renting Refused “We will enlist the heads of all patriotic organizations founded on American principles to combat these outside influences,” Mr. Morton said. “All organizations end churches will be asked to help in informing the public of the situation and what it can turn out to be.” He reported an unidentified Bund representative who disclaimed German ancestry and said he was born in Indianapolis had attempted to rent several halls for the meeting, but was refused. He said all requests were made anonymously by telephone. Joseph Harrieder, Indianapolis Saengerbund president, said the agent did not ask to rent that organization’s hall “because ‘he knew he couldnt get it.” Mr. Harrieder said the agent had talked to him, but did not disclose his identity.

TOOL SHED BURNS, SNARLING TRAFFIC

Slight damage was caused by fire late yesterday at a frame tool shed on the west plaza of the Federal Building. Three fire companies responded to the alarm and traffic on N. Meridian St. between Ohio and New York Sts. was blocked for 30 minutes. The building was owned by the Great Lakes Construction Co., builders of the Federal Building annex.

Government official. Asked why it would not-be possible for the Government to grant territorial autonomy to the Sudetens and thereby eliminate a sore spot from the nation, he said: “It would be impossible for a number of reasons,” he said. “In the first place, they predominate along the northern and western frontiers in a region where our most important fortifications against invasion exist. Under the national de= fense laws these regions are under military control. Furthermore, a grant of autonomy would allow the Sudetens to be used by Germany as a political instrument against the unity of the republic. We shall absolutely refuse even to discuss with Germany a matter of such vital internal importance.” Not all Germans in Czechoslovakia are Sudeten Party members. About 35 per cent of them belong to several small “German Activist” parties. The Government has been co-operating with these parties.

Roosevelt Puts Navy Defense Hope in Superdreadnaughts

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (U. P.)—President Roosevelt indicated today that, despite tests of relative strength of battleships and airplanes, he believes huge superdreadnaughts still are the supreme weapons of

naval defense. The President entered the Congressional controversy over vulherability of battleships to aerial attack, pointing to his recommendations for construction of additional capital ships as indicative of his viewpoint. He outlined his views at 8 press conference while Rear Admiral Arthur B. Cook, chief of naval aeronautics, told the House Naval Affairs Committee it would require 6750 airplanes to produce the volume of fire of 15 battleships. The pending Vinson naval expansion bill, Admiral Cook said, provides for an increase in aerial combat strength, ‘Navy's total fighting planes to 3000 at a cost of about 106 million dollars. This cost would bring total

euthorizations

bringing the,

under the measure to about one billion dollars. The House Military Affairs Committee favorably reported the May bill to outlaw wartime profiteering, place a ceiling on war: prices, and authorize conscription of all men between ages of 21 and 31 upon United States entry into war. The measure would vest in the President broad powers to establish the ceiling for prices. It would give

the President drastic. powers to

regulate industry during war time. War profiteering would be attacked obliquely, as the measure authorize the Treasury to begin a study of taxes with a view of outlining a possible emergency: structure for war. Such a plan would be devised to - distribute the costs of war evenly among ‘citizens and, industry. 3

F.D. R. IS ATTACKED

Congressman Hits Articles — Sold to Newspapers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (U. P.).— Rep. Clare E. Hoffman (R. Mich.) today accused President Roosevelt of using his high office for personal profit by selling “off the record” press conferences to a newspaper syndicate and a magazine, “The President can give cards— spades, big and little casino—to the economic royalists and still beat them to the jackpot,” Rep. Hoffman said on the House floor, “Using his Presidential office as his advertising agency—and this without cost to him personally—the President retains a monopoly, prevents those who are engaged in the business of reporting and writing from using their information, and sells his manuscript to a syndicate, for, it is said, something like a hundred thousand dollars.”

propriation and $2,490,535 less than the Administration requested.

The Committee recommended thet the Department continu= existing and begin further studies of critical war minerals and raw materials to find deposits and to study Hinmg nad refining methods “looking to their availability domestically in time of war.” The Committee recommended a thorough restudy by the Bituminous Coal Commission of necessary organization to increase efficiency and cut +$300,000 from the appropriation recommended by the Administration.

There wouldn’t be near as much law- breakin’ in this country if all officers - could anticipate crime and stop it before it started like Grandpa Snazzy ! when he was, Chief of Police down home. 2 . One day he walked up to Doc Meier’s soda fountain and took a stranger by the arm and said “Youre under arrest for violatin® the ‘anti-noise law’—you just drank a bi-carbonate of soda!” The man says “Well, what of it?

Mr. Gottschalk wrote Mr. Neal, in part: “Trained child welfare consults ants from our Children’s Division have been successful in reducing: the population and finding better, individual care for the children of a number of public and priva child-caring institutions. I am surd¢ that a trained child welfare worker would be able to analyze the. .situa= tion at the Marion County Home and perhaps accomplish results such as have been accomplished in other! counties where boarding homes have been found for children at less cost to the county. than instis tutional cost.”

Counsel Is Quoted ‘Mr. Neal said he believed the present appropriation would be sufficient, even though the shift would call for the hiring of more, welfare workers. Raymond F. Clapp, Community | Fund secretary, declared yesterday that counsel of the State Welfare Board and the Friends Church, from whom the orphanage property was obtained, believed the Commis« sioners have authority to take the action. / “We don’t want the County Wele fare Board to take over the prope erty,” he told the Commissioners, “but we don’t believe the law would| prevent you from asking the Board to manage it.” Mr. Wheatley, contended it would cost $7 a week for each child placed in a private home, but it was pointed out that many chile dren could be placed in free homes, or with relatives. In some case$, Mr. Clapp said, the children could be returned do, jheir parents. Meanwhile, Juvenile Judge John : F. Geckler declared that he had never sent any delinquents to the Home if there was any other place to send them. “Of course,” he said, “if the chile dren were orphans and delinquent, there was no place except the home| to send them.”
