WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 The
key business index will hit 110
this month. Industrial production
will expand about 9 per cent to
that figure, highest since this
month two years ago.
' Until war anticipations start
ed, Mr. Roosevelt's economists
figured it would not get np
over 102 or 103 in September,
and not over 110 before the end

December will bring 115.
They are inclined toward con
servatism in their revised private
estimates for the next few months
because the expansion so far can
be traced mainly to steel. Opera

WASHINGTON, Sept.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh urged
America tonight to keep carefully
out of Europe's war, asserting
that "if we enter fighting for de
mocracy abroad, we may end by
losing it" here at home.
"We must not be misguided by
this foreign propaganda to the ef

address prepared for broadcast by
all major networks. "One need
only glance at a map to see where
our true frontiers lie. What more
could we ask than the Atlantic
ocean on the east and the Pacific
on the west. . . . An ocean is a for
midable barrier even for modern
aircraft."
Lindbergh, who first came to
prominence by flying one of the
ocean barriers he mentioned,
made no allusion to the currently
agitated question of repealing the
neutrality law's embargo on arms
shipments to the nations at war.
Speech One Of
Few Made Publicly
Lindbergh's address was an un
usual occurrence, in that he rare

ranged to make it in the seclusion
of a hotel room, with very few per
sons present.
"Now that war has broken out
again," he said, "we in America

Tokyo Paper Says
Involvement Held Certain

TOKYO. Sept 16-)-The news
paper Asahi said today that the
United States would be dragged
into war "whether she likes it or
not"
The neutrality stand proclaimed
Thursday by Secretary of State
Cordell Hull, Asahi commented in
an editorial, actually is a "unilat
eral warning to Germany to re
spect the right of the American
people to aid Great Britain and
Prance."
Germany, said Asahi, will at
tempt to avoid drawing the United
States into war by "irritating
them to no useful end," but "is
not likely to submit meekly to
such treatment from the United
States."
The United States "seeks to
continue to increase her trade
with belligerents in order to bring
war prosperity, by the sale of mu
nitions," said the paper, but add
ed that President Roosevelt had
made it clear this did not mean
trade with Germany.
"The attitude of the adminis
tration must be regarded as most
biased, non-neutral and partial,"
said Asahi. -

when Mikhail Mlkhailovltch Sla-
vntsky went back to Moscow.
The earlier announcement said
that the armistice would begin at
2 p. m. (3 a. m. PST) tomorrow.
The respective forces, under
the agreement, will maintain
their positions held at 1 p. m.,

PARIS, Sept. 15. -(-French
warplanes were reported tonight
to have defeated an undisclosed
number of German planes which
were bombing and strafing French
troops In an effort to halt their
general advance on the western
front.
Dispatching from the front in
dicated German forces were re
treating slowly from advance posi
tions all along the front's north
ern flank.
The French and German planes
clashed so low over the lines, it
was said, that advancing troops
almost could distinguish the faces
of the pilots.
"The Germans were reported to
be bringing to bear the full force
of their airforce and artillery in
an attempt to stop the French.
At least three full nasi divisions
were reported fighting to hold the
strongest advance defenses of the
German Siegfried line along a 12
mile front before the great Indus
trial city of Saarbruecken and to
the east of that city, whose de
fenses hold the key to the center
of the active front.
Although there was no official
information, the French were as
sumed to have thrown as many if
not more divisions into the fight
ing in this sector.
Germans Take to
Fteu Onard Action
The Germans were said to be
fighting a dogged rear guard ac
tion to cover their main forces
falling back toward the Siegfried
line.
Local counter-attacks held up
the French for hours until rein
forcements arrived. The attack
was stopped and the announced
forward march of the French was
resumed.
From the brief description of
the air fighting in the official
communique tonight, it was ap
parent that German planes dived
low on the French advance lines,
raking them with machine gun
fire and forcing them to dig tor
cover.
French pursuit planes roared
out from airdromes behind
France's Maginot line and fought
off the German ships.
Screen of Shells

The French were said to be
advancing through a screen of
shells laid down by German ar
tillery on a 40-mile sector extend
ing from the Moselle river on the
extreme north, where the front
touches : Luxembourg, to a point
two miles beyond the great indus
trial city of Saarbruecken.
(Dispatches from Brussels said
Lthe Moselle valley fighting pro
ceeded all day with intense bom
bardments. Terrific gunfire was
heard at the Luxembourg fron
tier, where Inhabitants were an
noyed by the fumes from ex
ploding shells).
The present phase of the French
attack, it was said, began to make
Itself felt on the Germans when
the French penetrated nasi ad
vance positions lnv front of the
Siegfried line to the east of Saar

keystone of the German northern
flank.
A fresh French attack was re
ported to have started in force
along the Moselle late today.
