Officers of the Chest said that
from such Indications as were

that the public was already "sold"
on the merits of the seven agen

'The slogan of the Salem Com

is 'Have a Heart.' Fundamental
ly, when a citizen is asked to con
tribute to the Community Chest,
that is the only question he needs
to ask himself whether he 'has
a heart' that responds to the
community's need for emergency
relief and for continuation of the
work which Salem's various character-building
institutions av do

: "There are cases of need which
public relief agencies cannot ac

sistance which they cannot per

'When you are approached by
the solicitors for the Salem Com

these are the civic services in

Hoover's View
No Worse Than Draw

All - Around Superiority
Belief Expressed
in Interview
HEW YORK, Oct. I-(ff-The
belief that British-French super
iority economically and at sea
would make their defeat by Ger
many Impossible was expressed
today by Herbert Hoover In an
Interview with Roy W. Howard
printed In The New York World
Telegram. The former president, who in
a series of high official positions
saw much of the Inner struggle
j of the World war at first hand,
thus summed up his opinions:
'If one surveys the whole front
sea, land, air and economic re
sources I am convinced the al
lies can defend their empires.
"The end may be victory for
them. At worst It might be stale
mate. I do not see any possibility
that it can be defeat."
Is Answer to
Defeatists Here
Mr. Hoover's views were given
in response to an expression by
Howard, who Is editor of The
World-Telegram, that "a danger
ous emotionalism is diluting
American reasoning; that the idea
Is spreading rapidly in certain
sections of this country that
France and England are facing
defeat and that In order to avoid
catastrophe to civilization sad to
save ourselves the United states
must sooner or later enter the
European war."
To this. Howard reported, the
former president responded:
'It is true there Is the utmost
danger in war times of emotions
overwhelming common sense. The
most regrettable thing that eculd
happen ro us would be the build
ing up of a war party In the Unit
ed States, but the premise of the

Into Alsace
BASEL, Switzerland, Oct 8-
(ff)-Heavy reinforcement of the
German garrison along the upper
Rhine river north of Basel and
mysterious night activity along
the riverfront led tonight to re
ports the Germans were planning
an attack against northeastern Al
sace. Troop trains which heretofore
passed through Baden now are
said to be depositing thousands of
soldiers, many of whom are vet
erans of the Polish campaign, at
bases In the forts of the Black
forest and the upper Rhine valley.
Quantities of equipment sent
from Austrian and Bohemian fac
tories to the Rhine valley include
large pontoons.
Carefully-shielded lights were
observed over the shallow water
on the German side of the river at
Germany's "Rhineland Gibraltar"
of Istein, where the Rhine rushes
into rapids.
The Germans, If they strike
from the Istein area, would cross
to that part of Alsace lying be
tween Mulhouse and the Swiss
frontier, which forms the thresh
old of the great Burgundian gate
between the Vosges and Jura
mountains before Belfort.
This for centuries has been the
pathway of armies invading
France from the east. Now, how
ever, 40 land miles between Istein
and Belfort are heavily fortified
by the French.

At least 80 Japanese planes
were destroyed at the Hankow

Chungking said. They asserted
about 180 Japanese planes were
lined up on the field when the
Chinese fliers dropped their
bombs. They said the exploslops
caused huge columns of smoke
visible for many miles.
Chinese officials said bombs

Japanese naval aircraft were
reported carrying out widespread
attacks on Chinese airfields in
Szechnen province.
Chungking has been threatened
for five nights by Japanese planes,
reports said. Last night the air
raid alarm lasted five hours and

were said to have concentrated on

Welcomes Other Moves
for Peace if Not
Based on Threat
"Mere Assurances" From
Nazi Regime Held
Not Sufficient
By J. C. STARK
LONDON, Oct. 3-(iip)-Prime
Minister Chamberlain declared
flatly today against treating with
Germany on the basis of "mere
assurances" from the nazi regime
but said he would welcome any
peace proposals which would
achieve Britain's announced war
aim of ending "German aggres
sion." This was the reply of the British-French
allies to the soviet
German declaration last week that
Berlin and Moscow would hold
"consultations" If Britain and
France failed to make peace with
Germany.
Making his fifth weekly report
to' the house of commons on pro
gress of the war, Chamberlain
called the soviet-German declara
tion a "scarcely veiled threat."
George Urges Care
In Handling Neutrals
The dramatic session pitted
against Chamberlain white-maned
David Lloyd George, Britain's
world war prime minister, in an
extreme which reversed the roles
the two statesmen have played in
recent years.
The fiery Welshman urged
"very careful consideration" of
any "specific, detailed and broad"
proposals which might come from
Germany through soviet Russia or
Italy.
This point was that abrupt re
jection might make Russia and
Italy "hostile neutrals." He added
that:
s "We!now and the "United"
States know that they can help us
as neutrals.
Antagonizing Russia,
Italy Warned
"Russia and Italy, within the
limits of neutrality, can make all
the difference between being
friendly and hostile neutrals.
"We do not want to double our
enemies."
Lloyd George said it would be
a "first class mistake" to enter a
peace conference without asking
the United States, Russia and Italy
to participate, If a peace parley is
suggested.
Chamberlain .replied that no
peace proposal "has yet come to
us, and at this stage it would be
premature to build any hopes on
the likelihood of such a proposal
being made."
He added, however, that "no
man would welcome more whole

Nation Appears Likely
to Slay Clear of
Peace Failure
ROME, Oct. 3.-Up)-Italy ap
peared likely today to remain
aloof for the present from Ger
man-Russian peace maneuvers.
Well-informed Italians said they
expected Adolf Hitler to make
some peace proposals in his reich
stag speech this week, but doubt
ed they had any chance of success.
These persons said Italy, sfa-
eerely desiring to have peace re
established, fears a prolonged war
would make Europe the prey of
bolshevism, but she would not,
however. Involve herself In pro
posals predestined to failure.
Fascist sources also indicated
that the Italian government, which
asserted in Justification of its in
tervention in the Spanish civil war
that this was an anti-bolshevik
crusade, was not yet inclined to
foUow Germany in cooperating
with her late enemy, Russia.

Some Italian correspondents in
Berlin forecast that Hitler would
propose the creation of a small
ethnologlcally homogeneous Pol
ish state under German protection
with guarantees to Hungary and
Rumania, and an armistice during
which German colonial claims and
the general European situation
might be- discussed.

theory of Adolf Hitler and "other

Norris said it had been argued
that the administration-supported
bill to repeal the arms " ban . and
forbid -American ships to carry

because they would ' control the
seas and prevent Germany from
