14 Facts Stand Out ~ Amid Propaganda in - European Warfare

Hitler Had Fair Warning

From Britain, Nazis Gave

Pledges to Neutrals, Italy. Refused to Fight ‘And Allies Spurned Peace.

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE

United Press

After two months of war in Europe it - What has been recorded for history

Cable Editor : ow possible to review

in terms o a facts. By dis-

counting the propaganda and conflicting reports which have caused 50 much confusion, we see that the situation shakes down to 14 facts. As everyone knows, the war had been brewing since the Munich

. agreement more than a year ago when Adolf Hitler and Neville Cham-

berlain recorded “the desire of our peoples never to go to war with

one another again.” But the actual blow-off came with a tangible development that you can

get your teeth into—

Fact No. 1: Communist Russia and Nazi Ger-

many, . supposedly bitter enemies, signed a non-aggression treaty on

Aug. 23 of this year. It was a com-|,

plete reversal of their avowed prin-

ciples both by Josef Stalin and Fuehrer Hitler. The world was rocked back on its heels. Then

came— ; Fact No. 2:

On the same day (Aug. 23) Britain formally warned Germany through her ambassador to Berlin that she would fight for Poland. That belongs in the record because it shows that Herr Hitler was forcefully warned that invasion of Poland meant war.

3 Fact No. 3:

Three days later Germany formally pledged to Belgium, Switzerland, Holland and Luxembourg that their neutrality would be ' scrupulously - respected. Another

ier makes the much discussed flank

(The present anxious defense preparations of Bel.gium and Holland do not imply { much faith in Hitler's pledge of

[8 26.) bg. Fact No. 4:

On . 1 Germany marched into Poland and calmly annexed by decree. Two days later, a fateful Sunday, Britain and France declared a state of war with Germany. Thousands of Americans will long remember the measured tones of Neville Chamber broadcasting

the tragic news. For the first time |

in history, a declaration of war was made by word of mouth into the very homes of the people. (On the same day, point ‘was lent to what was in store by the sinking of the British passenger liner Athenia. That a German submarne torpedoed the liner has not been proved clearly enough to prevent the Germans from denying it, but the world in general accepted the disaster as the starting gun of almost unrestricted submarine war-

fare.) Fact No. 5:

On Sept. 5, the United States declared an embargo on the shipment of war supplies to the belligerents as required by the old Neutrality Act. The embargo was repealed two months later in an action that may affect the course of the war.

Fact No. 6:

this period, it was established beyond question that the Germans had bombed open towns in Poland, causing frightful civilian President Roosevelt was rotest. The Germans, in

_extenuation, argued that they had

warned the Poles such towns would have to bombed if they were made the scene of military “activity and attacks by Polish civilian snipers on German troops.

Fact No. 7:

On Sept. 17 Russia, apostle of non-aggression, marched into Poland. (Maxim Litvinov, the chief spokesman of Russia’s non-aggres-sion article of faith, had been jetti-

soned months before.)

Fact No. 8: On Sept. 19 Herr Hitler, having

grabbed Poland, tried to call off the

war and persuade the Allies to ac-

cept things as they were. He said in a speech at Danzig that he had no war aims against Britain and France and wanted lasting peace. The answer an emphatic “no,” with the added reminder that Herr Hitler's word could not be trusted.

Fact No. 9:

On Sept. 30, Germany gave official warning to Britain that her ships would be sunk without warning—his first formal notice of ruthless submarine warfare, :

Fact No. 10:

On Oct. 5, Russia moved in on Latyia, following it later by signing up "Lithuania and Esthonia. (On the same date occurred one of the most fantastic episodes of the war. The German High: Admiral warned the White House that the American steamer Iriquois, carrying refugees, was to be blown up when nearing New York. Admiral Reader didn’t say how it would be blown up. What his motive was may never be

Hi The Iriquois made port ely.) Fact No. 11:

Next day, Herr Hitler made a Reichstag speech, calling for peace now or a fight to the end. He had no more luck than before, but it was a milestone marking his final desperate effort to pull himself out of a bad corner by that method.

Fact No. 12:

“On Oct. 19, Russia and Germany got a bad jolt when Turkey, master of the Dardanelles and the entrance to the Black Sea, turned her back on Russia and signed a 15-year mutual assistance pact with Britain and France. The Balkans and the rest of Europe were greatly heartened. (The City of Flint incident occurred next. Whether it is important or merely a spectacular side episode of the war is open to ques-

tion.) Fact No. 13

occurred. Benito Mussolini shook up his Cabinet in such a way as to leave little doubt that he did not Mirena to fight for Germany but to ay neutral and promote “Italy for the Italians.” Simultaneously, Russian Premier Viacheslov Molotov made a speech proclaiming Russia’s intention of standing by Germany every way possible. He was not specific and did not promise military aid. The importance of the speech must be judged later. Fact No. 14 On Nov. 3, the official Communist Party newspaper Pravda accused Finland of preparing war against Russia and announced the Soviet intention of crushing all resistance. Ensuing days will show whether that meant warfare between Finland /" and the Soviets.

WOMAN CRITICALLY WOUNDED, MAN HELD

Thomas H. Komstohk Jr., 26, of 818% N. Alabama St., was charged with assault and battery with intent to kill and Miss Billie Moore, 23, of 804 E. 12th St. Apt. 12, was in critical “condition at City Hospital following an alleged shooting at the Alabama St. address yesterday. Miss Moore told police Komstohk shot her through the left arm and side with a revolver. Komstohk told police the gun was fired acci-

dentally.

On Oct. 31, two important events!

of the Red Revolution and Finnish desire to get new instructions. Premier Mussolini followed up last week’s cabinet shake-up by ordering an unspecified increase in personnel of the Italian Army. The preparations indicated his determination to be ready for any emergency that

might develop in Italy’s sphere of :

influence in the Balkans. : Convoy Plan Approved

Creat nounced a plan of joint naval action to guard ships carrying American war cargoes across the Atlantic. The plan, worked out by Winton Churchill, First Lord of the British Admiralty, and Cesar Campichi, French Navy Minister, provides that the first ships to leave New York with armaments will be convoyed by Allied warships the entire distance ‘to Europe to “prove” that Britain and France control the seas. The German newspapers at the same time were making a vigorous week-end attack on the repeal of the American arms embargo, which will permit the Allies (and Germany if she could get ships to America) to buy munitions in the United States. Some of the German comments were: “Roosevelt has sanctified war profits” , , , “Secretary Hull has not helped to "smother the flames of war, but has applied himself to fanning them.” . . . “Money is still stronger than planned ouf principles.” Nazi Discontent Reported

Britain was still making over-|"

tures to Russia as a survey by the British Institute of ‘Public Opinion indicated that 47 per cent of the British people believed a Cabinet minister should go to Moscow to discuss Britain's relations with the Soviet. It was reported that 34 per cent were opposed and 19 per cent had no opinion. But in Moscow, negotiations were under way with Germany for resumption of the Moscow-Berlin airline, In Berlin, according to the French newspaper L’Ordre,. the dissatisfaction at German relations with Russia was so great that Heinrich Himmler, Nazi secret police head, had created a super-Gestapo to keep watch on his regular Gestapo. The new organization, composed of 120 men, has even the power of assassination, the French paper said, reporting that high Nazi leaders blamed Herr Hitler for accepting blackmail from Josef Stalin rather than: submit to defeat by the Allies.” India Talks Blocked British negotiations in India were reported stalemated today, but Lord Lithingow, the Viceroy, said Britain was ‘not prepared to accept the failure.” He said he would hold further talks with the All-India Party Congress and the Moslem League in an effort unite India behind England in the war. Indian natives are demanding dominion status as the price of their participation. Dutch authorities arrested Gerrit Albrink, son of a Nazi member of the Dutch Parliament, as he was about to cross the German frontier and said they had uncovered espionage activities with wide ramifications.

He also was hurt about the head and chest, but was able to go home after being treated at a hospital. His condition was reported satisfactory today. Mr. Howard was driving his own car’ to his home at Dorking when it collided with another automobile.

EXPECT SALE OF

CARGO ON FLINT|

Captain Says Prize Crew Threatened to Sink U. S. Freighter.

(Continued from Page One)

States Lines, which has the ship under charter, had instructed him not to discuss that. He added that no decision had been made regarding a date for departure from Bergen.

Expect Sale of Cargo

Indications around the port, however, were that the cargo would be sold at auction here, rather than take a chance on further risks that might be involved in attempting to deliver it to its original destination in England. Mrs. Harriman, who came here from Oslo, conferred with Capt. Gainard and the staff of the United States Consulate. It was expected her reports to Washington would guide the ultimate disposition of the cargo and ship. At about the same hour of her arrival, an authoritative German source in Berlin announced that a three-point demand had been made on Norway over the battered old freighter.

Prize Crew Prisoners

The Germans demanded that the prize crew, which Norway interned, be released and that the ship either be given back to Germany or held in the harbor here until some agreement could be reached. Responsible German sources at Berlin, -before the announcement was made of the second protest, had said that they understood the ship would sail at once for the United States with its cargo, under terms of the new Neutrality Law. The German prize crew were prisoners aboard the Norwegian warship Olav Trygvason at Haugesund, nearby. Berlin reports said the Nazis were insistent that the prize crew be released. It was announced that negotiations’ on the German demands were now under way and that no time limit had been set for their completion, inferring that they did not constitute an ultimatum. Norway -had also rejected the first German protest against the arrest of the prize crew and the release of the ship. Captain Tells Story

‘Capt. Gainard praised his pfficers and men and said they “acteli at all times in a creditable manner” dur= ing the three weeks the Germans were in control of the ship. The American crew was told to obey Capt. Gainard and the other officers as usual but the Germans set the “various courses” the ship followed on its odyssey. From Oct. 9 to Oct. 18, the German crew “blotted out all traces of American’ ownership,” painting the name “Alph” on both sides of the bow and painting the Danish flag on canvas secured on both sides amidships,

Raised Swastika Flag

On Oct. 20, Capt. Gainard said the prize crew hoisted the German merchant flag and later that day landed in Tromsoe Harbor, where the crew of the British steamer Stone~ gate, sunk by the Deutschland several days before the Flint was sighted, were turned over to the British consul. Then the ship went on to Murmansk, where Capt. Gainard said he “tried continually” without

WLW CASE SPURNED BY SUPREME COURT

‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (U. P.).— The Supreme Court today declined to review the fight of the Crosley Radio Corp., Cincinnati, O., to retain superpower broadcasting facilities for its station, WLW. In a brief session the Court did not rule on four so-cailed civil liberties cases which had been anticipated today. The Court upheld the century-old policy expressed in McCulloch vs. Maryland that a state may not tax an instrumentality of the Faderal

Government without jis consent.

In this campaign, sober second thought has been developed among many proponents of ““Ham- an’ Eggs” by two men, each the cause of a previous fit of jitters among California conservatives. One is

the “Ham: an’ Eggs movement al-|

ready are reported preparing for another campaign next year—the third in three years. A rough estimate on the cost of each campaign is four million dollars.

Vote Slowdown Is Hinted

A fantastic feature of latter campaign developments is a report that the Ham an’ Eggers plan a slowdown at the polls. The oppo-

sition is more than frightened at the possibility that advocates of|

“Ham an’ Eggs” will get to the polls early, stay in the voting booths as long as possible, thereby keep busy conservatives in line until it’s too late to cast a ballot.

Ordinarily such a possibility

Iwouldn’t be disturbing, but some

consider it likely that many election officials—often elderly and not too busy citizens—are “ham an’ eggers” whe may think they are serving the public good by winking at a vote slowdown.

State Bank Is Proposed

The second-thought feature of the campaign has been advanced by a growing realization that the proposed amendment is more than a pension plan and more than:-a plan to substitute for money state warrants which must be validated each week by the addition of a 12cent stamp. The 15,000-word amendment also proposes to set up. a state bank, the administrator of which would shorfly become a dictator over the \| expenditure of state funds. The administrator would be either Roy G. Owens or Will H. Kindig, both “Ham an’ Eggs” leaders. That's provided in the amefidment. As neither has had experience in large-scale financial operations, the middle-ground public assumes that state finances would shortly be in a mammoth muddle.
