Roosevelt ext

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 (U. P.).— President Roosevelt today addressed the following message to the Governments of Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany and

Poland:

“The ruthless bombing from the air of civilians in unfortified centers of population during the course of the hostilities which have raged in various quarters of the earth during the past few years, which has resuited in the maiming and in the death of thousands of defenseless men, women and children, has sickened the hearts of every civilized man and woman and has profoundly ‘shocked the conscience of humanity. “If resort is had to this form of inhuman barbarism during the period of the tragic conflagration with which the world is now confronted hundreds of thousands of innocent human beings, who have no responsibility for and who are not even remotely participating in hostilities which have now broken out, will lose their lives.

“I am therefore addressing this urgent appeal to every government which may be engaged in hostilities publicly to affirm its determination that its armed forces shall in no event and under no circumstances undertake the bombardment from the air of civilian populations or of unfortified cities upon the understanding that these same rules of warfare will be scrupulously observed by all of their opponents, I request an immediate reply.

ALL CABLES OUT OF SHANGHAI ARE CUT

SHANGHAI, Sept. 1 (U. P)— All cables out of Shanghai were mysteriously cut for a time today, and then service was as mysteriously restored. British ships expected to receive instructions to open the third of four secret instruction envelopes, believed to contain orders to proceed to a secret rendezvous where an armed escort would await them. The first and second envelopes,

Shows Most Americans Are Solidly Behind Poles

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion RINCETON, N. J, Sept. 1.—Which nation is most “in the right” in the long-standing quarrel over Danzig and the Polish Corridor —Adolf Hitler's Third Reich or the war-born Republic of Poland? However future historians may answer that question, it can be recorded today that the people of the United States are overwhelmingly on the side of Poland and critical of the claims of Chancellor Hitler, according to a nation-wide survey by the American Institute of Public Opinion. Although the Free City of Danzig is predominantly German, and although the Polish Corridor itself was carved out of German territory within the memory of most living Americans, more than five persons in every six with opinions on the question say that Herr Hitler's claims are “not justified.” To a cross-section of men and women in all parts of the country, so selected as to represent as perfectly as possible the 45,000.000 electorate, the Institute put the question: “Do you think Hitler's claims to Danzig are justified?” A similar question was asked regarding the Polish Corridor. The replies were: Danzig Claims Justified Claims Not Justified

Polish Corridor Claims Justified Claims Not Justified

SOUP TO BE READY IF ACTORS STRIKE

NEW YORK, Sept. 1 (U. P)— Officials of the Associated Actors and Artistes of America moved swiftly today to set up soup kitchens and lodging houses on Broadway for 2000 likely to be involved in a strike Tuesday. Similar arrangements were made in Hollywood for relief of an even greater number of low-salaried film players. Film star Jean Muir headed the strike relief committee. The lone possibility of averting a strike of actors as a counter-move in a jurisdictional dispute with stagehands appeared to be Federal intervention. Labor Department officials were reported studying the

question with a view to sending a conciliator to the scene from Washington. The stagehand strike at Sophie Tucker's show, “Leave It to Me,” scheduled for Monday night, was expected to be the signal for a na-tion-wide actors strike in retaliation —closing Broadway shows, the film industry, major World's Fair stage attractions and many radio shows.

Former Bridge Partner of Goering Commands Poles

WARSAW, Sept. 1 (U. P.).—Poland's “chief of combatant forces” today is Gen. Kasimir Sosnkowski, 57, tall, handsome, gray-haired warrior who ranks third in the leadership of his nation.

Only President Ignacy Moscicki and Marshal Smigly-Rydz, the Poheh strong man, have higher ratngs. Gen. Sosnkowski has hunted often with Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering and Heinrich Himmler, Nazi Secret Police chief in the boar forest near Lowieza, where President Moscicki has a hunting lodge. He once played bridge there with Marshal Goering as a partner against Marshal

Smigly-Rydz and President Moscicki. From his youth, Gen. Sosnkowski was a follower of the late Marshal Josef Pilsudski. When that great Polish revolutionary was organizing resistance to Russia, it was Gen. Sosnkowski who created the “sharpshooters’ battalions” in 1908. He still is known throughout Poland as “chef”’—the chief, a title

he gained during his revolutionary career. Gen. Sosnkowski is a tactician of considerable reputation, and it is in this field rather than in actual

Asked by Institute | interviewers whether they thought | Chancellor Hitler's demands on the Czechs were justified, 23 per cent of those with opinions said “Yes.” That the number approving Herr Hitler's demands against Poland is smaller today, is one more indication of the way American opinion has been alienated in a year’s time. or 5 N his note to Premier Daladier early this week, Chancellor Hitler claimed that he would be leading the German people “in a fight to rectify a wrong, whereas the others will be fighting to preserve that wrong.” As a further question the Institute asked: “Would you like to see England, France and Poland | agree to German's demands re- | garding Danzig?” . “No,” said 88 per cent of those with opinions. The remaining 12

An Important Message to Taxpayers From the Citizens Tax League

® Someone defined unnecessary, extravagant and wasteful expen« ditures in budgets as—'"Hidden tax termites, boring into the foundations of every home."

* * *

® Despite advance work of public officials in cutting down budgets for OUR 1940 Tax Bills, there are still many reductions which should be made.

* * *

® Just a few weeks ago, relief case numbers at the Center Towne ship trustee's office reached 63+ 764. What does that mean?

* * *

®In 1933 the cases numbered about 7,000. Then procedure was changed so that only one case number was assigned to a family. When John Doe applies, either as an individual or head of a family, he receives a case number. If he goes off relief and then re-applies, the same number is assigned to John Doe and no other.

fr ¥ *

® That means that since 1933 some 57,000 cases have been adds ed to relief in Center Township. These cases cover an average of 2.5 persons each. So that in the short space of six years, in Center Township alone, from its population of 300,073 persons — over 142,500 residents have received relief.

* * *

® There's just one—inescapable conclusion to be drawn. The time is here, NOW, when something MUST be done about this relief and welfare business. We cannot and will not go on giving relief to this huge percentage of our population, piling up this huge mountain of national and local debt which means financial suicide for all the rest of us.

* * *

® The issue is squarely up to EVERY OFFICIAL =~ NOW. For EVERY BUDGET, not only relief and welfare, but EVERY BUDGET MUST BE CUT if we are to LOWER TAXES to the rates that we, the taxpayers, can afford ‘o

pay! * * *

® This same issue is up to YOU— meaning every man, woman and child in Marion County! For YOU pay these taxes and RIGHT NOW, when the tax spenders are making up their budgets of the BILLS FOR YOU TO PAY, is the time YOU must take action!

* * ¥*

® ls YOUR NAME on one of the "WARNINGS from TAXPAY4 ERS?" Thousands of others have signed them, but if YOU want ac« tion—SIGN YOUR NAME! You'll find a blank at YOUR Drugstore. Or you can get in touch with ug by calling MArket 1395, or drop« ping us a card, and we will send you a blank which you can sign and get your friends and ace quaintances to sign.

* * *

® YOU pay taxes—taxes for what you eat and wear, for heat and light and rent. YOU will have te pay MORE TAXES unless you DO something. Sign—=NOW!

* % %

® Taxes were high in Marion County in 1935 when we paid a rate > $2.58. This year we have 25%, HIGHER TAXES with a $3.21 rate. And for next year, these tax spenders start with budgets asking for $3.64,

* % %

® With the same economy YOU are forced to use in YOUR home and business, these 1940 budgets can be cut down to a $2.60 rate.
