Britain Is Firm Against | Giving Armed Aid to Stop Hitler.

must fight if Germany invades Czechoslovakia. Russia’s attitude in case of the invasion of Czechoslovakia is unknown. Adolph Hitler hopes to achieve his objective of absorption of the Sudenten Germans by peaceful means, and I personally am convinced he had no intention of marching into Czechoslovakia two weeks ago when it looked as if war might be near. The German General Staffs feels the risk of war is too great now in view of the uncertainty of French and Russian action, and the imponderable element of Britain's actions in event that France entered a war despite Britain's restraining influence.

Britain Uses Influence

None of three nation®, Britain, France or Russia, will definitely decide upon the question of war over Czechoslovakia until the moment the necessity arists. Then action will be dictated by existing circumstances. Meanwhile, Britain will continue strong pressure on the Czechoslovak Government to yield the last jot of concessions to the German minority and to Hitler, simultaneously pressing France to act similarly and pressing Germany to refrain from action. As for the principal considerations which motivate Britain's attitude, they are: 1. A conviction that GermanCzechoslovak conflict might precipitate a general European war into which Britain would risk being drawn. 2. The knowledge that in a Eu-rope-wide war everybody would be the loser, and Britain's primary interest is to try to maintain the status quo. 3. The knowledge that the French people do not desire war. 4. The knowledge that the dominions want Britain to keep out of entanglements on the Continent and abstain from involvements in war. 5. Britain's armament program, especially as regards the air force, is muddled and her military policy now includes no preparations for ever sending another expeditionary force to the Continent. And in the event of an outbreak of war on the Continent Britain would want to keep her air force at home.

Concerned Over Japan

6. Britain does not desire France to be “weakened or crushed in war. 7. Britain’s preoccupation with the rise of Japanese domination in the Far East and Italy's growing power in the Mediterranean athwart her vital communications with her empire. The main factors which impel the French General Staff to the opinion that it must fight if Czechoslovakia is invaded are: 1. With the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia, Germany, which the French believed to have been crushed in 1918, would become the greatest military power in Western Europe. Once Germany held the strategic passes, Hitler would be in position to resume Germany's “drang nach osten”—drive to the east. 2. French influence in Central Europe, through a series of alliances and political loans aimed at encirclement of Germany, which gave her virtual domination for years after the World War in that region, would become nonexistent and would be replaced by German domination. 3. Any great increment to Germany’s economic and military power such as would follow the absorption of the Sudeten Germans and the strategic and industrial regions they inhabit would be regarded as a potential eventual menace to France. 4. France views with growing alarm Germany's influence in Rebel Spain behind her Pyrenees mountains frontier, about which she had never had to worry or which she had no need to fortify heavily. ¥rance fears that in event of a gen-

‘Japan Reported Demanding

End of Aid to China By Germany.

LONDON, June 6 (U. P.).—Germany, a partner with Japan in a front against communism, may be given an important share in the economic exploitation of North China after the close of the Chi-nese-Japanese war, it was reported reliably today. The deal, of course,

would depend upon a Japanese victory. Japan’s price for carrying out this agreement, it was reported, was withdrawal of all German aid to the Chinese, including the recall of German advisers to the Chinese armies. Information reaching Chinese authorities here asserted that Germany and Italy, in connection with Adolf Hitler's visit with Benito Mussolini last month, concluded a secret understanding to pursue the same policies in the Far East. Great Britain was said to be aware of the so-called agreement, to be skeptical but unwilling to rule out the possibility of its authenticity. It was said that United States officials were more or less inclined to believe the story that Herr Hitler and Sig. Mussolini agreed upon a common policy in the Far East— favorable to Japan in the present war.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY IS DISCOVERED HERE |

Passing of counterfeit money here during the 500-mile race week was at a minimum, George B. Loy of the U. S. Secret Service office here reported today. He said that thus far only 12 counterfeit $10 bills have been turned into the Secret Service office since the race. He said that the majority were passed at taverns along S. Illinois St. He added that they were the same type recently passed in New York.

Czech Premier Defies Nazi Absorption Threat

BRATISLAVA, Czechoslovakia, June 6 (U. P.).—Premier Milan Hodza, in a fervent plea for national unity against the threat of war, defied Fuehrer Adolf Hitler today and declared the Czechoslovak people “fear no man.” “We are, we are,” the crowd shouted when he asked if the republic is capable of maintaining its independence. The Premier spoke in reply to a Slovak demand for autonomy, presented at a mass meeting here. “You have come to show that the Slovaks stand by the integrity of Czechoslovakia,” Hodza said. “The Slovak farmers and Slovak workers have not remained behind. The Slovak soldier has remained loyal and safeguards the republic. “The guaranty of Slovak liberty is the republic. Will you promise to help me by carrying out my program?” “Yes, yes,” the crowd shouted. Hodza spoke to members of his agrarian party from the same balcony of the state theater on which Father Andre Hlinka, leader of the Slovak people's party, demanded autonomy for Slovakia and its 3,329,793 people in a speech yesterday.

Chinese to Yield Vital Railroad Leading Into Hankow.

timber. A tenement house on Oinghon St. was leveled. Whole blocks of the city were razed. In street after street there were the cries of the wounded and wails for the dead. Not one section of the city escaped. In raids yesterday Japanese aviators actually released bombs over Shameen, the foreign quarter of the city, dispatches said, so that after deflection they would hit in the city proper. Men, women and children, packed in the streets, stood transfixed with horror as the Japanese planes power dived to within 300 feet of the rooftops of higher buildings, dropping their bombs throughout the city.

Spurn City Defenses

The Japanese planes scorned the city’s antiaircraft batteries. They first circled on them, then went into power dives over the heart of the city. It was like a fantastic aerial ballet, danced to the terrible uproar of exploding bombs. The planes dived daringly, their motors roaring, over the rooftops of buildings not only in Canton but in the Shameen, the foreign quarter. Ten planes started the bombardment. By 11:40 a. m., there were 30, bombing and diving in steady rotation—in squadrons and singly. Bombs struck all parts of the city Today's raids, were the eighth in a series which began May 28—a series of bombardments unparalieled in the Chinese-Japanese war if not in any known history.

Chinese to Abandon

Lunghai Railroad

SHANGHAI June 6 (U, P.) —Chinese military authorities announced today they would abandon the Lunghai Railroad line, because of the fall of Kaifeng, 25 miles east of Chengchow, the junction of the East-West railway with the Peiping-Hankow line.

Officially, the Japanese claimed occupation of only one corner of Kaifeng, the last strategically located city along the western reaches of the road. Dispatches of the Domei (Japanese) News Agency, said, however, that Kaifeng had been taken and that mobilized units were sweeping westward to Chengchow, the western terminus of the line. In Hankow, China's highest military commanders were said to have met secretly with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to plan a “final defense” of the provisional capital. At the same time Hankow municipal officials began speedly evacuating the civil population. Officials said that the first groups of 300,000 civilians scheduled to be removed within three weeks already had started toward Yennan.

Envoy Davies Talks With Soviet Dictator

MOSCOW, June 6 (U. P.).— Joseph E. Davies, United States Ambassador who soon will take up his new duties as American envoy to Belgium, began a final round of official duties today after an unprecedented two-hour conference with Josef V. Stalin.

Mme. Chiang Says Women Would Fight for China

By JANE HOWARD (Copyright, 1938, by the Honolulu Advertiser) HANKOW, China, June 6 (U. P.). —Women of China, emerging from centuries of inferiority, are taking an active part in the war against Japan and if the need arises they may even “take up guns,” Mme. Chiang Kai-shek said today in an interview, The beautiful American-educated wife of the Generalissimo spends almost all of her time by his side at his Wuchang headquarters. The weariness of working constantly in the thick of war showed in her face as she explained what she believed to be the task of Chinese women in their struggle against

3 Japan.

“At first people far from the coast of China did not all want to fight,” she said, “but now everyone is united. They have learned the horrors of war through education, through meeting refugees. “All women, high and low, are making shoes for soldiers. Unity Called Achieved “China was already on the way to unity before the Japanese attacked us. War has crystallized our unity. Our women’s organizations are aimed directly at unification. “There are no women doing actual fighting on the front, but there are women on the front. The actual fighting is in men’s hands. But if the men are gone, the women will take up guns, too.”

WEARS CRIME TO COURT Goldie Ross, of New Ross, Ind, didn't deny she stole a dress belonging to Peggy Bunyard, of 830 N. Illinois St. In fact she wore it to Municipal Judge Charles Karabell’s Court today for her arraignment.

She was fined $10 and costs and 4

given a 30-day jail sentence.

Aiken Hears Ia Follette’s Party Program

BOSTON, June 6 (U. P.).—Ending a three-day tour of northern New England in the interests of his Progressive Party movement, Governor Philip F. La Follette of Wisconsin today planned a week's rest on Nantucket Island. Addresses at Hanover, N. H,, and Rutland, Vt., and a closed meeting with 100 Massachusetts “liberal” politicians here yesterday had occupied him since he entered New England Friday. Though he indicated that his New England visit was not prompted by a desire to gain support of Governor Aiken, Vermont Republican Governor, La Follette hinted that Governor Aiken's backing would be welcomed. Governor Aiken, proponent of a

“purge of reactionaries” from the |

Republican Party, met Governor

La Follette for the first time when |

the Wisconsin Progressive addressed 1200 Young Republican Club members at Rutland. Governor La Follette estimated that he could win a Massachusetts campaign this fall, spending nov more than $20,000, all for postage stamps and gasoline to reach the voters. The Progressive Party, Governor La Follette said, is working on the theory that “no civilized nation has ever existed or can exist that cannot first provide its men and women an opportuntiy for wealth-creating work.” “We cannot give everyone an equal amount of wealth,” he added, “but collectively we can give everyone a chance to obtain a certain amount. That's only natural in a world of economic interdependability.”

WPA FIGHTS FOR BARKLEY VOTES

Competes With State Treasury in Hectic Kentucky Election.

Goodman has kept its hands off oolitics in previous elections, which leads to the assumption, common in Kentucky, that word has come from still higher up than the state director—from Washington. The trail leads vaguely in that direction in recurrent reports picked up here and there, Political use of WPA was disclosed to the writer through numerous interviews and sworn to in a series of affidavits which tell of discrimination and intimidation, Most workers now

of losing their jobs. Since Judge Brady M. Stewart, Governor Chandler’'s campaign manager, directed the spotlight a few weeks ago at political] use of WPA the word has gone out from state officials and foremen for workers not to talk to inquisitive outsiders. In the mountain counties in east Kentucky, Republican strongholds hy heritage, one form of political activity by WPA officials in behalf of Senator Barkley is to “induce” Republican WPA workers to reregister as Democrats, and county clerks report numerous such changes and frequent checking of registration lists by WPA local officials. In Pulaski County, in southern Kentucky, there have been more than 300 changes of registration from Republican to Democrat.

Another form of discovered is tempted hiring by WPA of state emplovees who have influence locally, in order to get them to work for Senator Barkley.

Dan Talbott, State Finance Commissioner and the real “brains” behind Governor Chandler's political career. He has the power, too, for under the Governor's State Reorganization Act the final word on personnel rests with the Finance Commissioner and the Governor. “I have no complaint about them using the regular Federal organization here,” he said of the Barkley forces, referring to the usual Federal offices represented in Senatorial patronage, “but I do complain about the outrage of using starving people, and Federal funds voted to feed them, for political purposes.” Discipline is guaranteed in the Chandler machine. For if the Governor fails to oust Senator Barkley he will sit in the Governor's chair until December, 1939, and any dereliction among State employees could be dealt with after the primary.

Otes had a Chevrolet sedan bearing Florida license plates which, coupled with the large sum of money on the men, first led to suspicion that they might have been implicated in the Cash kidnaping.

Industry Boards Urged

WASHINGTON, June 6 (U. P), —revival of industrial boards, similar to those employed under the National Recovery Act, today became a strong factor in compromise proposals in conferences on

wages and hours legislation. Senate conferees, meeting separately, tentatively agreed upon a proposal offered by Chairman Thomas (D. Utah) which would: 1. Establish a universal wage minimum of 25 cents per hour. 2. Provide for graduation of two and a haif cents per hour for each of the first two years of operation of the act. 3. Establish a board for each industry to make recommendations for upward graduation in the wage minimum from 30 cents. The industries boards would be appointed by the President, it was understood, under the preliminary agreement reached by Senate conferees, and their authority would be limited to making recommen- | dations to the Labor Department | for actual fixation of the wage standards.

Most Senators agreed that the labor standards board, established in the Senate bill, would be abandoned in the compromise move, Rep. Richard J. Welch (R. Cal) | emerging from the conference, said that “it looks favorable for territorial differentials” although he would oppose such a move. His statement, indicated that the sentiment among House conferees was to accept Senate offers of a compromise above the 30-cent wage minimum. Momentarily, the conferees are entangled in a dispute over administration of the proposed law. But they did not believe an ultimatum made by President William Green of the A. F. of L. would jeopardize approval of their report by the Senate and House.
