. AJACCIO, Corsica, Jan. 2 (U. PJ). | =~Premier Daladier dramatically | emphasized his stand against Italian | territorial demands today by visit- | ing Corsica at the outset of a journey | -=described in the Italian press as | “provocative”—which will also take him to Tunisia. * Accompanied by Navy ‘Minister Cesar Campinchi, a native of Corsica | and bitterly anti-Italian, Mr. Dala- | gier arrived aboard the cruiser Foch, escorted by a flotilla of de- ¥ stroyers, He was greeted enthusiastically by residents of this imibriant naval base who interpreted _ His tour as an exclamation point to his recent assertions that France will never give up “a single inch” df her colonial possessions-to Italy. £Crowds lined the quay where 2a symbolic triumphal arch had been erected and decked with French and Corsican flags. .Streets and buildings, public and private, were similarly decorated.

Troops Sent Ahead

"After visit at Bastia 67 miles from Ajaccio, M. Daladier will re- -embark tonight for Bizerta, France's vital North African naval base where huge guns dominate the Sicilian channel. En route the Foch will steam past Italian Sicily and Sardinia, arriving at Bizerta tomorrow morning. From Bizerta M. Daladier will travel overland to .Algeria before rejoining the Foch, on which he embarked from Toulon last night. Preceding him to North Africa were military and naval reinforcements rushed there to cope with any situation that might arise from Italy’s territorial demands “affecting Corsica, Tunisia, Djibouti and Suez Canal. A battalion of 1000 Senegalese troops left Marseilles ‘for Djibouti, terminal of the railroad to Addis Ababa Saturday. Within the past “week the Government has ordered military and naval forces there alfost doubled.

Envoy Only Echoes Daladier, Fascists Say ROME, Jan. 2 (U. P.).—Fascist circles today discounted the importance of French Ambassador Andre Francois Poncet’s assertion yesterday that France will fight if necessary to preserve her colonial

possessions. . They said the | Ambassador's fiery remarks, made ‘before 800 French residents of Rome; were merely 2 repitition of defiant phrases uttered repeatedly in the past two weeks by French Premier Daladier and Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet. - Nothing, it was said, could deter Ttaly from pressing claims which ghe considers just. Most Fascists, however, heartened by M. Francois| Poncet’s statement that he was confident the controversy could be settled peaceably. At the conclusion of his talk " the Ambassador proposed a toast the health and prosperity of ing-Emperor ~ Victor Emmanuel and Premier Mussolini#

France Will Not Buy Peace’

"The speech, jmade at a New Year's feception at the French Embassy, bristled with defiance of Italy's de‘fhands. ~ “Prance will not buy peace at any * price,” he said. “She will defend Yer interests, her patrimony and her moral and material heritage binding her with the past.” * He said, however, that though Frenchmen were “ready to defend the colors again” if necessary, no effort would be spared to restore Italo-French friendship. Fascist circles said after the speech that they still hoped Prime Minister Chamberlain of Great Britain, scheduled to arrive here Jan. 11 for a four-day visit, would be able to persuade France to accede to some of the Italian demands.

Victory This Year Forevast by Franco HENDAYE, Jan. 2 (U. P.)— Spanish Rebel armies advanced on three fronts today as Generalissimo . Franco predicted that 1939 would be the decisive year of the 30-months-old civil war. Rebel headquarters admitted that stiffened Loyalist resistance had slowed down their drive to the Mediterranean in Catalonia. In retaliation Gen. Franco ordered sur‘prise offensives on the Madrid and . Valencia fronts. The Rebels announced the capture of Castle Valldeuxo on the southeastern Castellon front, which guards the Mediterranean seaport of Valencia, and reported a supporting movement toward the Valencia coast from the southern Teruel sector by the army of Gen. Jose Varela. In an interview published in the official Dairio Vasca at San Sebastian, Gen, Franco promised that justice would be shown to “both those aiding me and those fighting me” when Rebel victory is complete. Gen. Franco said he was “absolutely satisfied” with the first phases of his Catalonian offensive “which is bringing us victory step by step.” This year, he predicted, would bring “a wholesale triumph of our arms.”

CHUNGKING, China, Jan. 2 . P.) —Wang Ching-wei, former Premier of China, was expelled from the Kuomintang Party and all official posts today for proposing peace with Japan. At the same time the Government issued a general order for the arrest and extreme punishment of all rebels in a “purge” believed aimed at persons within the Government who might have been supporting Dr. Wang. The expulsion of Dr. Wang, who has thousands of followers throughout China, marked a major break in Chiang Kai-shek’s “All China antiJapanese Front.”

Peace Plea Punished The action was taken by the

standing committee of the central executive committee of the Kuo-

mintang, of which Dr. Wang was a|-

member, four days after a declaration in which the former Premier and his followers called upon Gen. Chiang to negotiate peace with Japan on the basis of Japan's Dec. 22 promise to respect China's territorial integrity and to forego war indemnities. The expulsion, according to the announcement of it, was for ‘“desertion of his post and suing for peace in contradiction to national policy.” Dr. Wang is a prominent “old revolutionary.” + He joined forces with Gen. Chiang at the outbreak of the current war. The Japanese are said to favor him as chief executive of the new Central Chinese Government which they are undertaking to form.

Japan Protests Saghalien Kidnapings

TOKYO, Jan. 2 (U. P.).—The Foreign Office today made public new protests to Soviet Russia concerning three alleged border violations on the Island of Saghalien, off the east coast of Siberia, whose ownership is divided between Japan

WEATHER - DISASTERS FORECAST FOR 1939

ROME, Jan. 2 (U. P.).—The coming year will be cursed with more disastrous earthquakes, storms and weather calamities than the world has witnessed in many years, according to Raffaele Bendandi, Faenza Observatory director. , : In a forecast for: 1939, based on his own observations, Sig. Bendandi

id: “I find 1939 will be one of the most critical meteorological and geodynamic years in a long time because there will be a reawakening of internal forces which have long been quiescent. There will be many seismic movements and unfortunately several will be disastrous.”

DES MOINES PILOT DEAD IN ACCIDENT

HAMPTON, Iowa, Jan. 2 (U. P.). —Edward Kerby, Des Moines, Iowa, is dead here of injuries received when his plane crashed into the side of a grain elevator at Sheffield, Iowa. Mr. Kerby had taken off from a pasture near Sheffield when his ship went into a spin at a low altitude, witnesses said. -

MAIL CARRIER RETIRES

Joseph F. Matthews, 3326 N. Capitol Ave., veterain mail carrier, had retired today after completing a record of not being late for work in 30 years. Mr. Matthews came to Indianapolis 32 years ago from Spiceland, where he. was born. All his work was in the downtown district and 23 years of it on E. Market St.

day resulted in increased military measures throughout the Holy Land at the beginning of the new year. Mr. Sanderson, one of the most prominent British officials in Palestine, was slain Saturday night from ambush when a rebel highway barricade halted an automobile in which he was riding with Police Commissioner Sir Charles Tegart and a British Army officer behind a convoy of armored cars, Commisisoner Tegart and the Army officer escaped injury kecause they remained in the automobile while Mr. Sanderson alighted and started directing removal of the barrier. him down. The officials’ escort returned the Arab fire and sharp fighting lasted for some time before the rebels fled in the darkness. The slaying of Sanderson was regarded as the most serious incident of the large-scale Arab repellion since the assassination on Sept. 46, 1937, of Lewis Andrews, British Commissioner of Galilee, as he emerged - from a Nazareth Church with his bodyguard.
