Today in his speech he burst into tears. The Most biting thing he said was: "Britain is not left with loss of prestige and also a tremendous new commitment to defend the frontier of central Europe." And he declared: "The Prime Minister believed in addressing Hitler in the language of sweet reasonableness," I," said Duff Cooper, "believe in the more open language of the mailed fist," And then he asked: "Does Hitler mean he wouH get away with the colonial issue as he got away with everything else by well-timed bluster and blackmail?" However, there1s no doubt that by the end of the debate, Chamberlain had had the best of it. On his way to the House from Downing Street, his car drove through cheering multitudes . And the boos of his adversaries on the floor of the House were drowned in an overwhelming volume of cheers. He defended himself stoutly and with conviction. When the Laborit^s jeered, the aged Prime Minister pointed his finger at them and replied: "Let those who feel shame hang their heads." CHAMBERLAIN - 5 The only Communist member of the British Parliament shouted at him: ‘'iou^e nothing but Hitler's post-man."- ( Chamberlain today gave out one interesting piece of information. It referred to the part that Mussolini had played in the conference. The memorandum which Chamberlain and Daladier accepted as a basis for discussion had been drawn up by Mussolini and his Foreign Minister, Son-inLaw Co£nt Ciano Speaking about President Roosevelt's messages, the Prime Minister said "they showed how the voice of the most powerful nation in the world can make itself heard across three thousand miles of ocean and sway the minds of the men of Europe." Chamberlain made two Important announcements. Britain is going to rearm more quickly and more powerfully than ever. He also made it public thatGreat Britain had loaned the Czechs twn million dollars, which they will sorely need after losing so much rich territory to Germany CZECH In the City of Prague there was gloom today, gloom mixed with bewilderment. The unhappy Czechs are in a position of even now not knowing how much their country will be dismembered. ) They won*t know until the plebiscites have been held in various districts and j L j the international commission has made its decisions. The British government today asked for volunteers to do special police duty in the areas where plebiscites are to be held. TheyTve asked the British Legion of World War Veterans to supply a thousand men to keep the peace in those disputed districts for six or eight weeks while the elections are pending. At Eger, the town which has become the capital of Sudetenland, there was wild rejoicing today. Fuehrer Hitler made his triumphal entry and formally accepted possession of his new domains from the hands of Konrad Henlein, the Sudeten leader, j It ^ / 1 was the customary Nazi demonscration. Hitler made one of his characteristic speeches, declaring that Germany's new territory would never, never again be separated from the Reich. This was greeted with roars from the crowd, shouting, T'We thank our Fuehrer!” As—he-confeinued' ahis^s paeah ,-^tner.e'c:.3E3cxxwi-M- were "wi~Ld -'er-ie s~of> ^^heil^^hallavidtbryW CZECH - 2 Six Czech officers and soldiers were arrested at the airport at Eger. .they had returned to the airfield out of curiosity just to see what was goin on. In another part of Sudetenland, near Carlsbad, forty Czech soldiers were overtaken l.J by members of the Sudeten Free Corps. The Czech soldier surrendered. The Sudetens disarmed them and allowed them to go their way in peace. i The German soldiers, as they entered Sudetenland carried flowers stuck into the barrels of their rifles, of bayonets. flowers instead i Throughout Germany there were demonstrations of the wildest relief, Fudging from the scenes that took place today and the expressions that were uttered, the German people at large would not have welcomed a war. All the cries that could be heard from the cords today were expressions of relief that war had been avoided. One man said to Webb Miller, head of the United Press Bureau in Europe; "This is the beginning of the United States of Europe,?. And he added: "From now on we can live in peace with the French, the English, and everyone." At the famous Hofbrau House in Munich, by actual count seventeen thousand quarts of beer were CZECH - 5 drunk• The Berlin Foreign Office stated:- "Germany Is now ready to establish a neighbor with the new Czechoslovakia on the basis of friendly relations .11 And the statement added: "The next task is to wipe out the errors of the past and create a new basis for security. Chancellor Hitler is anxious to establish a basis of general peace not only with Czedhoslovaia but for all Europe." PRAGUE Therefs no truth in the rumor that Dr. Benes is going to resign as President of Czechoslovakia. However, it seemed probable today that the Cabinet of General Syrovy, the Prime Minister, will be reorganized. The general will continue to be Premier but several members of the former Cabinet who had resigned with Premier Hodza will join General Syrovy. premier Hodza himself val^tee^rem^Smember of the Cabinet.^rats3te^fci Also the Slovaks will be more largely represented in the reorganized government of the country. RUSSIA The Soviet Government of Moscow is miffied. The Bolshevist rulers resent the report that Premier Daladier of France represented them at the four-power conference in Munich and was authorized to speak for them. An official statement from Moscow says? ’’The Soviet Government gave no authority to Daladier and had aafftSSfe nothing to do with the conference at Munich and its decision,” PALESTINE Still more sanguinary news from Palestinet ^;lie historic City of Tiberias, twenty-one Jews were buried today, twenty-one more who had been killed by the Arabs.')Among them were a couple of American citizens. Over the weekend, fighting was particularly rife throughout the Holy Land, one fight after another between Arabs and British soldiers. More than a hundred 'TtfkJL Arabs were killed in A days.

He is described as -fe quick-tempered- always been opposed to moderation, opposed to a policy of conciliating China, an advocate of aggression and of the A mailed fist in the Far East. He to be the Mikado1 s new Foreign Minister. The obvious inference is that the warlords in Japan have more than ever the upper hand and that Nippon*s policy will toft A more violent.^hss*8©^^ REFUGEES At Hyde Park* New York, a party of fourteen people arrived todayj refugees from Nazi Germany, $ father* a mother* and twelve children ranging from twenty-three down to four years old. They went to Hyde Park to visit Mrs. Barnes Roosevelt, Mother of the President. Actually, they are kinfolk of the Roosevelts. The mother of that husky family, Mrs. von Koschembahr, is a daughter of Cornelia 16 e 2 ?fH>eh*«f» Roosevelt, who in turn was the daughter of Charles Yates Roosevel^ And it is reported that Mrs. von Koschembahr bears a pronounced resemblance to the Roosevelt family. UN-AMERICAN An accusation was made last week that prominent American men of means are subscribing to the funds of the German—American Bund. The charge was made before the Dies Committee of the House of Representatives on Un—American Aptivities. That accusation provoked a letter from the head of the National Association of Manufacturers, dharles R. Hope wrote to Representative Dies and urged that if there’s any positive information implicating industrialists, it should be made public so as to remove the odium from those wrho are innocent. Chairman Dies of the Committee replied to. today. A” He said that he had instructed his investigator to run down every possible lead and push his Inquiry to the limit. -“We want-to-do­ er e ry thing- v; e— -what industrialists^ if any , hove^-eonturibtrtred---money to the -Nazi—and Fascist moTgmgirka in» or done a»ythin^ elno to ■encouftigo thomaP SUPREME COURT The Chief Justice of the United States is not noted for the warmth and passion of Sh his utterances. But today, for a change, Mr. Justice Hughes did speak with a warmth that evidently came from the heart. The occasion was the opening of the new term of the Supreme Court. Said the Chief Justice: "Since we last met, the Court has suffered an irreparable loss in the death of one of our brothers .11 He feferred of course to the passing of the last Justice Benjamin Cardozo. The seat that Associate Justice Cardozo used to occupy was vacant today PEMfiSYLVAlHA The fight among the Pennsylvania Democrats entered on a new phase today: Governor Earle1s enemies started an investigation into his administration, shotting loud charges of graft, in fact what they call a system of crime. So he summoned his legislature Into a special session and the legislators passed special, laws taking that investigations out of the hands of the grand jury. They also p&t it into the hands of a friendly committe of the legislature. Todayfs opinion by the Supreme Court pronounces those laws unconstitutional. Add more than that, they're described, as ^an attempt to suspend the criminal laws of Pennsylvania and an invasion of judicial powers.So now that grand jury in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, which means Harrisburg, will go on with its inquiry. Hot only Earle, but thirteen other Democratic leaders in Pennsylvania, are going to be on the griddle. Just as the election is coming on! STORM Another storm on its way to New England — may have arrived. The same part of New England now slowly recovering from the disaster of two weeks ago. Shortly before noon today, a storm was gathering out at sea some three hundred and fifty miles southeast of Nantucket. Moving northeast. Weather experts reported it was getting worse as it v;ent on. So all this afternoon there have been warnings out: all the way from Sandy Hook, New Jersey to Eastport, Maine. COLORADO Twenty-nine years ago, Julius Stone, of Columbus, Ohio, had an adventurous but successful ride through the rapids of tne Colorado River. At that time he was a young man of fifty-four. This year, at the age of eighty-three, he was overcome by a keen longing to take that hazardous ride once more. And that!s where he is at this moment, somewhere south of a small crossing sbe of the Colorado at Hite, Utah. With him is his son, who is a banker in Columbus, Ohio, and several friends, men of substance and of an age when most men have overcome their passion for two of th< adventure California^ RAILROAD r It seems strange in these days of railroad grief, to hear declaring a dividend. wiss*^ happened today out in Michigan. A dividend: of twenty-four thousand dollars was handed out to stockholders of the Erie Kalamazoo.That isnTt the only unusual part of the transaction. Not a single train operated by that company has run over the rails for eighty-nine years. Not a single passenger fare has been collected or so much as a pound of freight moved. ItTs Just a peculiar bit of ancient American railroad history.^ Erie &n«t> Kalamazoo is the oldest road in the country west of New York. All it ever owned is a right-of-way from Toledo, ; Ohio, to Adrian, Michigan, That right-of-way was leased by the Michigan Southern and for years it has been operated by the New York Central, ihat dividend handed out today represents money' A received from the lease. I I LABOR ThereTs to be no let-up in the war among the labor unions. The American Federation of Labor and the Committee of Industrial Organization are agin each other and there1s small prospect at present of peace. That’s what the country learned today from William^ Green, President of the A.F. of L. The Federation is holding its fifty-eighth national convention at Houston, Texas. Green, in his opening speech, declared that the National Labor Relations Board had become an ally of the C.I.O. And, he added: ”We won’t stand for that.” * &&=&&&££&? ^considerable part of Green’s speech was an attack on his private enemy, John L. Lewis. He talked sarcastically about Lewis’s appearance in Mexico at the International Congress Against War and Fascism, Green: ftffi-hiD"tue wa-s-iic 14—in a bul-l—r±ng^_aJB.d'"'th.at vm-s a ting ■ ^And h^-continned”1 noticed that Lewis denounced Fascism but I don’t see where he denounced Communism.” sQ - A - + - w\ .
