French-German Peace Agreement Held Up
PARIS, Nov. 21 (U. P.).—Germany’s anti-Semitic campaign and bitter press attacks on Great Britain have delayed publication of French and German notes announcing a “no-more-war” - policy, informed quarters said today. The declarations, paralleling that of Fuehrer Hitler and Prime ‘Minister Chamberlain in Munich, have been prepared. A competent source said the French-German declaration already has been signed and has been for some time. premier Daladier and Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet have been awaiting an opportune moment for publication, to get the best possible effect. : But meanwhile, it was said, antiJewish agitation expanded so rapidly that now the French hesitate te publish it, although it generally had been expected they would do so before the arrival here Wednesday of Prime Minister Chamberlain and Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax of Great Britain. . It was believed the meeting may turn out to be a prelude to a sec-
‘| possible to ease the situation of Jews
who are willing to emigrate,” the Voekischer Beobachter, official Vienna newspaper, said. “The real enemies of the Jews are foreign countries which profess to love the Jews but do nothing to help them.” i The newspaper recalled that a central emigration headquarters for Jews had been established Aug. 26 in the Rothschild Palace. Within the shortest possible time all clearance papers are being provided for Jewish emigrants, the newspaper said. As many as_200 applicants are being handled daily.
Few Have Emigrated
cent anti-Jewish measures Were taken because many Jews had not shown any desire to emigrate “because they were still getting along much too well despite the fact that the Nazis have been in power in Germany for five years.”
In Germany in the five years from 1933 to 1938 only about 17 per cent
gion and 300,000 full and partblooded Jews, took Germany's antiSemitism seriously enough to emigrate, the newspaper said. Czechoslovak and German representatives signed an agreement today eonclusively fixing the GermanCzech border. :
U.S. Jews Asked To Raise $100,000,000
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 (U. P) —Jewish leaders called upon American Jewry today to levy upon itself a “voluntary fine” of 100 million dollars for resettlement of Jews being persecuted in Germany. The proposal was made by Rabbi Edward L. Israel of Baltimore at a one-day emergency conference of the Seabord region of the United Palestine ppeal. He suggested that the 180 million dollars would contrast the 400 million dollars “stolen from the Jews of Germany by the Nazi regime,” and would create opportunities for Jews “now languishing in a no-man’s land in Central Europe.”

JAPANESE ADVANCE SOUTH OF HANKOW
Chinese Make Night Attacks In Canton Area.
(Editorial, Page 11)
. SHANGHAI, Nov. 21 (U. P.)—A Japanese Army spokesman today said that Japanese forces driving
southward along the Hankow-Can- |S
ton Railway from Hankow were making “satisfactory progress’ and that extensive mopping up operar tions around Lake Tung-ting had been completed, On the Southern front the spokesman said Chinese bands still were delivering strong night attacks around Canton, but he denied there was a possibility of Chinese recapturing the big South China metropolis. Japanese plartes bombed cities on the Lung-hai Railway, on the Northern front, during the weekend. : In the so-called “occupied” areas the Japanese had started extensive operations against scores of thousands of Chinese guerrillas in the Shanghai, Hangchow, Nanking triangle; along the . Tientsin-Pukow (Nanking) Railway, and throughout the North China provinces.

VIENNA, Nov. 21 (U. P.).—The danger of armed conflict over Czechoslovakia’s eastern frontier, involving Hungary and Poland and possibly Germany and Italy, increased today as new incidents occurred. ? : It was officially announced in Praha that Czech frontier guards had repulsed a band of Polish irregulars who crossed the frontier into the Czech province of Ruthenia. One Pole was killed. Both Poland and Hungary were reported to be prepared to march into Ruthenia and eastern Slovakia at a moment’s notice. Both nations have been reinforcing" frontier troops. : ‘ Nazi Dream Threatened
It was said that they were ready to take advantage of any serious frontier incident for “police action” to preserve peace.
Both had been disappointed by their failure to obtain from the Vienna conference which settled Czech-Hungarian: territorial disputes, enough Czech territory to give them a common border. Observers believed that if the situation grew dangerous, Fuehrer Hitler and Premier Mussolini would take a strong hand. Italy and Germany were the Vienna arbiters and rejected Hungary's full claim. Occupation of eastern Czechoslovakia by Hungary or Poland or both would constitute a loss of prestige to Italy. For Germany it would be a loss of prestige and would also threaten to close the road to the Black Sea. -
Hitler Warns Hungary
Herr Hitler's newspaper, the Vienna Voelkischer Beobachter, reflected the acuteness of the situation in an editorial which warned that any opposition to the Vienna verdict “can become an attack en peace.” A campaign “for frontier clarification” has been conducted by Hungarian newspapers and organs urging union of Ruthenia with Hungary on historical, geographical and economic grounds, the newspaper aid. It described the campaign as “remarkable” because Hungary as well as Czechoslovakia “accepted in advance and without reservation the decision Italy and Germany have given at the Vienna conference.” Frequent clashes were reported in the region of Feketepatak and a growing “uprising” was reported in the mountainous regions farther within Ruthenia. Report Three Clashes The reports said three incidents had occurred in which groups of Hungarian irregulars crossed the Ruthenian frontier and clashed
garians were forced to withdraw, the reports said. ; At Praha, the Government said that at least six persons had been killed in border clashes with Polish and Hungarian “territorists.” But ‘the Government denied that there had been an uprising in Ruthenia. Reports from Budapest and Praha conflicted sharply. Hungarian newspapares reported “anarchic” conditions in Ruthenia where they said terrorists were roaming the countryside causing great suffering. Praha reported that a major clash had occurred near Volce and attributed the incident to Hungarian invaders. They said four Hungarians had been killed by Czech frontier guards. Another clash was reported near Poljana. .
Ruthenia’s Position Is Strategic One
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMS Times Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Nov, 21.—The future of Ruphenia—the newly autonomous, extreme eastern end of what was the Republic of Czechoslovakia—is of the utmost importance to Eastern Europeans in general and to Jews in particular. More than half the world’s Jews live in that region. Poland has epproximately 3,500,000; Rumania, 1,000,000; Hungary, 500,000; Lithuania, 250,000; Latvia, 100,000, and Russia nearly 3,000,000. Other mempers of the race are scattered throughout the Balkans. Today each of these countries is striving, more or less successfully to prevent the anti-Semitic contagion from spreading onto its soil from Germany. At the same time, however, Herr Hitler's covetous eyes are on this region and his agents are actively preparing the ground for a new Nazi advance. Whether this advance materializes or not depends largely on how well or how badly Eastern and, Southeastern Europeans work together. None welcomes the prospect of a new Nazi push, yet none, unsupported by the others, is in a position to fend off Germany singlehanded. : If the Reich extends its hegemony over this area, what is happening to the 500,000 Jews of Germany will almost certainly happen to the other eight million Jews of the countries mentioned. Pogroms follow the Nazi tide. 2 It is this situation which gives Carpatho-Ukraine, or Ruthenia, its present importance. Nazi control of this province makes it an open corridor between Nazi-dominated Czechoslovakia and the grain and
oil fields of Eastern Europe. It be-

REBELS HAMMER AT SEGRE BRIDGEHEAD
HENDAYE, Nov. 21 (U, P), — Spanish Loyalist reports admitted today that the Rebels had occupied advance positions on the west bank of the Serge River after “persistent attacks.” The Loyalists still held some strategic points which menaced the insurgent rear guard and concentrated their defense efforts on the bridgehead between Lerida and
Fraga which the Rebels hammered
with their artillery.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 21 (U. P). — Belgium is considering a plan to mediate the Spanish War, it was disclosed today.
Col. Josef Beck, Poland’s foreign minister, is the moving genius behind the Third Europe—so-called because the rest of Europe is divided into two hostile camps. His country’s position between Germany on one side and Russia on the other is causing him many a headache.
