Cargoes To Move LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27 (AP longshoremen, until Friday at least, are bound to perforin indir ect lift board cargo handling opera tions at Loh Angeles harbor. The Hftboard order came yester day from -Dr. Wayne Morse, feder ol arbiter in a dispute between the Waterfront Employers association of southern California and the CIO International longshoremen and Warehousemen's union. His decis ion was interpreted as a victory, although probably short-lived, for the employers. Morse decided, under a contract signed Feb. 4, 1!I37. longshoremen are required to handle Hftboard work. But the contract expires Friday. After that, lift boarding will be governed by the decision of a special committee which will con shier a coastwfde basis. Unless the committee reaches a decision within 60 days, the pro blem will he left up to local port labor relations groups. A protest from longshoremen was being d rafted today for submission to Secretary of Iibor Frances Per kins. Tom Brown, union secre tary, criticizing Dr. Morse's decis ion, declared: "It Is our opinion that Morsel ruling Is tantamount to creating a contract in this operation. He added the union believed 'an ar biter had no jurisdiction over wages, hours or working condi tions. NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (AP) Mayor La Guardia's compromise proposal for settlement of the strike of 15,000 truck drivers was accepted by the strikers at noon today nt a meeting In Mecca Tern pie. The truck owners rejected the pronosal yesterday. The mayor s compromise agree ment calls for a two-year contract establishing 44-hour week with no reduction In the present weekly base pav of S44 to $56.50. The o'd contract, which provided for a 47-hour week, expired September 1. The strikers, members of the nternatlonal Brotherhood of Team sters nnd Chauffeurs, has asked for a 40-hour week without a pay reduction. About 4,000'Rtrlkers attended the meeting nt which the mavor ex plained the situation and his de sire to bring a speedy end to' the strike which has crippled city-wide freight transportation. Acceptance of the innvor s terms came at a lime when he had al ready mobilized 8900 sanitation de partment trucks at city nail ano was contemplating the assignment of about fi00 more trucks for the movement of hospltnl supplies, per ishable goods ond foodstuffs. He was moved to this nctlon. In part, he explained, by tho necessity of getting supplies Into the stricken storm areas or Long isaind ami New England. Before going to the meeting lie told reporters the representatives of the Merchant Truckmen's, asso ciation and the Hlghwoy Transport association, employers' organiza tions, had "flntly. unequivocally and definitely refused to accept j the compromise." i Quick acceptance by Uie union , had been expected. of government dictation although he action was believed taken in conjunct Inn with a government 'suggestion. Dealers quoted minimum prices on a long list of securities which in effect established rock-bottom quotations to provent an abrupt ireak In values.

That is exactly tho Idea tu keen panic sales away from the stock exchange.

IRONMONGERS PEACE PLEA MADE BY BRITISH CHIEF (Continued from Dago l) Czech government to carry out their promises and hand over the territory.

"I would not hesitate to oav even a iniru visit to uermany ir I thought it would do any good . . . At one point, the prime minis ter said: i "However much we may sympa thize with a small nation confront ed with a big, powerful neighbor, we cannot in all the circumstances undertake to involve the whole British empire in. war simply on her account. Big Issue Involved "If we have to fight it must be on larger .Issues than that. "I am, myself, a man of pence, to the depths of my eoul. "Foreign conflict between na tions is a nightmare to me. But if 1 were convinced that any nation had made up Its mind to dominate the world by fear of its force, I should feel that it must he resisted. "Undor such circumstances a domination the people who believe in liberty would not feel life worth living." Chamberlain told his country men: "Meanwhile, there are certain things we can and should do at home. "Volunteers are still wanted for air raid precautions, for fire bri gade and police reserves ond for the territorial (reserve) units. "I know that all of you, men and women alike, are ready to offer your services, if you have not al ready done so, to the local author ities who will tell you if you are wanted and In what capacities. "DCon't be alarmed if you hear of men being called up to man anti-aircraft defenses or ships. "These are only precautionary measures such as a government must take in times like these, hut they do not necessarily mean that we have determined on war or that war Is imminent. 'V. . . for the present I ask you to wait as calmly as you can the events of the next few days. "As long os war has not begun, hore Is alwavs hone that It may he prevented, nnd you know that I am going to work for peace until the last moment."

HITLER REPLIES TO ROOSEVELT APPEAL (Continued from page I.) accented by all the powerB at war as hlndlng unon them; ' "Never in history has the faith of the people been more discrace- fully betrayed than happened then and the conditions of peace forced upon tho vanquished na t'ons in the suhnrhs of Paria (Versailles) h.s fulfilled none of the promise piven. "On the contrary thev created a political regime in Kurone that reduced the vanquished natlonn to nariabs. stripped of ah lights, and that was recognized from the beginning bv all judicious persons tin untenable. "One of .the nolnts which most clearly revealed the character of ' tho dictates of 1919 was the found- ' ln of the Czechoslovak state and j the fixing of its boundaries with out In any wav taking into ac count hiHtorv nnd nationality" "Sudetenland, too, was included in It, although this region has al ways been (Jerman nnd although Its Inhabitants unanimously de clared their desire for anschb's ( union) with the Cierman reich after the destruction of the J laps burg monarchy. Sudetens Denied Rlnhts "Thus the right of self-determination that was proclaimed by President Wilson as the most Im portant foundation -for national life was simply denied tho Sude ten Germans. "Rut that was not enough. "fn tho treaties of 1919 certain obligations, which according to their wording were very far-going, were imposed upon the Czech oslovak state as regards the Ger man racial element. "Prom the very beginning these oblitrations were not kept. "I ne league of nations failed completely to carry out the task assigned to it, namely, to guaran tee the fulfillment of these obli gations. Since then Sudetenland has been engaged In heaviest combat for the preservation of its Ger mandom. 'It was a natural nnd unavoid able development that nfter the G e p m a n reicli regained Us strength and Austria was re-united with it that pressure of the Su deten Germans Increased for main taining their culture and for be coming closely , associated with Germany. Despite tho loyal attitude of the Sudeten German party and Its leaders the points at issue be tween them and the Czechs be came ever more pronounced. "Krom day to day it became moro clearly evident that the gov ernment In Prague was not will ing to grant most of the elemen- j tary rights of the. Sudeten Ger- j mans. , "On the contrary it attempted I to bring about the Czechi.ation of , Sudetenland with ever more fore fill methods. i t was inevitable that this pro- ' cedure led to; ever greater and more serious tension. 1 Germany Calm The German government at first In nowise Inlurefered with this ' development ami maintained , its calm restraint even when in May of this year the Czechoslovak ' government proceeded lo mobilize its army on the pretext, manufac tured of pure cloth, that German troops had been concentrated. The fact Germanv at that time refrained from trking mili tary counter-measures has merely served, however, to strengthen the intransigeance of the govern- , ment in Prague. ihe progress of negotiations by the Sudeten German . party with the government for a peace ful solution clearly showed this. I liese negotiations brought def inite proof the Czechoslovak gov ernment had no idea of tackling the Sudeten German problem real ly from Its very foundation and to bring it to n Just solution. "As a consequence, conditions ; In the Czechoslovak state, as is generally known, nave become en tirely insufferable during the last weeks. "Political persecution nnd econ omic suppression have plunged the Sudeten Germans into un mm 1 , "kM4Mm speakable misery. "To characterize these condi tions it ia sufficient to refer to the following: "At this moment we count 211, 000 Sudeten German fugitives who had to leave their house und hearth In their ancestral homeland and who brought themselves Into safety across the German border because they saw therein the only and last possibility for evading the revolting Czech regime of force nnd bloodiest terror."
