WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. Hitler
demands a colonial African empire
from Britain and France In a brist
ling military speech at Nuremberg
Soviets stage
troop maneuvers
on white Rus
sian frontier
Prance announ
ces an f umpteen
million franc
plan for military
expansion over
the next four
years Hull
bluntly warns of
war In speech to
power congress
These are the
- flashy develop
ments wit urn the span of two recent
days. If they do not add up to a
war Just around the next corner,
then a lot of people must be fooling.
The answer Is: Ballyhoo.
Hitler was bragging to the annual
Nazi party rally that he had accom
plished, all his objectives. He had
been 100 per cent successful. A lead
er In Hitler's shoes without a pur
pose must either arrange for a pair
of slippers or another purpose. The
colonial empire demand will save htm
from going to the shoo store.
However, he will wear through
many another pair before he gets any
worthwhile colonies out of France or
Britain. They will stall him off with
suggestions that he offer disarma
ment In return. The negotiations
will drag on Interminably. Thero will
be no war about that: Both sides
understand the game.
Soviet troop maneuvers were like
wise timed for the Nazi political con
vention, and for domestic political
effect. It showed the red peasant
how alert his government la to the
Nazi and other menaces, after having
Just survived a supposed Trotzky
revolution. If Hitler can beat his
chest without coughing, so can the
Russians.
The French have secret budgets for
their military expenditures. They
announce what they choose. If It
happens to be inaccurate, the world
never knows the difference. This
time, the French announcement
neglected to say what they intended
to use the new army appropriation
for. purposely leaving the impression
that a vast expansion of the army
was planned
The fact is her airplanes are obso
lete. She waa the first nation to
have an efficient air force. She had
over 3000 planes the first of this year.
But remsrkable strides have been
made In aviation lately. She will use
most of her new francs to keep up
with the Germans.
No war will come of that.
There Is no reason to believe Mr.
Hull had any private Information
leading him to suspect war la nearer
than the public generally suspect.
He did not profess to have any. If
he has. ha la keeping something from
most of his advisers, Hts speech waa
Intended only as a warning.
And. incidentally, many a New
Deal politico, consider the possibility
of war within the next four years is
another reason why President Roose
velt should be elected.
No war will come of this warning
no peace either. Some votes may.
The authorities here who know as
much about war prospect aa anyone
else have not recently changed their
stre-up of the situation.
They think the odds are 10 to 1
acalnst war In the next year, but
enly about 2 to I against an out
break In 1938. There la also a fair
chance that the International dis
armament movement will be revived
before then and some agreement
reached which will delay war even
further. Most of -the nations are
getting what they want, and will
have to ease up on . expenditures or
fight..
Their hunch la that the spot where
ar la most likely to break la not the
one upon which the eyes of the
world now are focused, but on the
fr eastern frontier, where Russia
and Japan are glaring at each other
The navy and state departments
are becoming more and more involv
ed in their "mistaken Identity"
theory of the bombing of the Kane.
The seriousness of the incident is
over, but not the discomfiture of the
officials. Their first story sounded a
little weak, but now It Is near ex

G.O.P. Nominee In Fighting
Speech Challenges F. D.
Rs To Admit Errors 'In
Plain Language.'
PORTLAND. Me.. Sept. 12. (AP
pledging himself "to save our system
of free enterprise," Gov. Alf M. Lan
don said tonight the New Deal would
be leading the nation toward a "cen
tralized government of unlimited
power" during a world trend from
democracy "that means but one
thing war."
Bareheaded on a Hag-draped plat
form in the municipal stadium, the
Republican presidential nominee fac
ed Maine voters, crowding a wet
field in a fog that blurred bright
floodlight. Lewis O. Barrows. Re
publican candidate for governor, es
timated the throng at from 12.000 to
15.000.
"I doubt If civilisation can with- I
stand 'another war." Landon empha- I
aized into microphones that carried
his .voice Into all corners of the field I
as well as throughout the nation.
Applaxise burst forth when the I
candidate predicted a Republican
victory In Maine Monday which "will i
start a victory pamde that will span
the nation."
Landon's address on "Government
and Business" climaxed his first cam
paign tour of New England Industrial
centers.
A parade from the 'station where
hts special train stopped, through
the. heart of Portland to the munici
pal field preceded hie address.
The governor took off an overcoat
before stepping forward to present
his "solution" "to free the forces
of competition to stamp out unfair
trade practices and monopoly." His
delivery waa much the same as that
of other addresses; he kept hts hands
on his manuscript, using nods of his
heed for emphasis.
"Planned Kroiiomy" Hit
Contending that "planned economy
la Incompatible with the democartlc
form of government," Landon told
applauding listeners thnt "the con
sequences of government domination
over economic life" abroad provided
"one reason why the Republican par
ty stands squarely across the road
down- which we are being driven by
the present administration."
"The Republican party opposed un
limited executive power for another
reason." he said, as more fog drifted
from the Atlantic across the field.
This reason Is that the world-wide
trend away from democracy here
means but one thing that one 'thing
Is war. Any weakening of democracy
means the final route of democracy
everywhere.
"The trend against democracy must
be stopped at once If the world Is to
escape a major catastrophe. I doubt
If civilization can survive another
war."
Landon frequently was Interrupted
by bursts of applause, sometimes
from the front reserved sats. some
times from the grandstand behind,
and frequently from the audience
In general.
One of the loudest shouts of ac
clamation waa accorded the nominee's
statement that the "Republican party

Highlights of
Landon Speech
PORTLAND. Me.. Sept. 13. (AP)
Highlights from the address of Gov.
Alf. M. Landon of Kansas tonight:
"What the NRA really undertook to
do in this country was to terminate
our system of free competition, and
to substitute for it a system of government-created
and government
protected monopolies."
"The National Recovery act Is dead,
thanks to the courage and Integrity
of the supreme court."
"But the spirit of the NRA lives on.
It lives on in recently enacted laws.
It lives on in the efforts of this ad
ministration to get around the de
cisions of the supreme court. It lives
on In this administration's 1936 plat
form, t lives on In the recent public
utterances of the President and his
spokesmen.
"But above all, It lives on In the
spirit of the President who has con
fessed no error who has let It be
clearly known that he considered It
would be a catastrophe If the Ameri
can farmer should 'once more become
a lord on his own farm,'
"If this does not mean that the
present administration wants to es
tablish government domination of In
dustry and agriculture, what does It
mean? If the President has changed
his mind and recognizes his errors,
let him say bo. Let him say so In
plain language. Until we have such
an admission of error, the choice be
fore us Is clear.
"We are being taken down the road
that leads to a centralized govern
ment of unlimited power. The Repub
lican party rejects this policy."
"Planned economy Is incompatible
with the democratic form of govern
ment." "There Is no greater, no more Im
portant responsibility resting upon
government today, than the present,
tlon of peace."
"The temper of the American pub
lic Is no longer complacent."
"It has definitely set Its face against

LAKE WAWA8EE. Ind., Sept. 12.
(AP) John Hamilton, chairman of
the Republican national committee,
charged In an address here today
that the "highest officials" or the
Democratic administration had "dn-
llberately Juggled figures In order to
give a false Impression of the true1
state of government finances." j
To hta criticism of the adminis
tration's fiscal policies, Hamilton,'
speaking at a meeting sponsored by
the Indiana Republican Editorial as
sociation, challenged the "non-political"
nature of President Roosevelt'a
recent toura and said tho latter "may
decide It Is time to go political"
after the Maine primary election re
turns are In.
Hamilton termed "unusual" Pres
ident nooapvelt'a pretense of hand
ling a political rsmpalgn "In a non
polltlcal manner" and said It waa
"something more than unusual"
when the president handles noa
polltlcsl matters "In a highly polit
ical way."
"I charge. Franklin D. Roosevelt
and hla secretary of treasury, Henry
Morgenthau." said Hamilton, ''with
deliberately misleading tho American
people aa to the state of govern
ment finance and with doing this
solely for their own political ad
vantage."
The speaker contended that unless
relief expenditures are drastically rn
duced, the federnl government will
spend during the current year "ap
proximately 1.170.000,000 more than
the president or the secretary of the
treasury admitted In their report to
the public."

'Fuehrer' Opens Verbal War
On Bolshevikism And
Praises Nazi Efficiency.
(Copyright 1036, by United Press)
NUREMBERC1, Germany, Sept. 12,
(UP) Fuehrer Adolf Hitler boast
ed today that if Nazi Germany pos
sessed the vast natural resources of
Soviet Russia the Reich "would ba
swimming In plenty" whereas "Bol
shevism cannot feed Its people."
Ho made the Insidious comparison
of nazl efficiency, to what he called
Soviet blundering In an address ts
48.000 "Hitler youth" and fi.ooo "Hit
ler maidens."
Ho boasted of Germany's accomp
lishments, despite limited resources
In comparison with the achievement
of Russia and said, "I am not afraid
and when the decision comes It will
find mo strong."
Violent opposition to Bolshevism
and Russia, as its exponent has bee
the keynote of the nazt congress
here.
Observers predicted the nazl verbal
war on Russia would cause a break
in relations between Moscow snd
Berlin. Neither side however, offic
ially Indicated such a step.
Hitler Indicated Germany was able
to cope with the communists, say
Ing:
"They will carry the soviet sign,
but we will be victorious under our
banners." ' 1 '
This was greeted by frantic p
plauoe and the fuehrer continued.
"I am not afraid. When tha de
0 I si on comes It will find ma strong
and you will be with me, holding
the banner aloft."
Turning to Russia, hla favorite tar
get, he said:
"Life In Russia la fin for tb
buroaucrats, but not for the workers
1 believe that a system Is good only
If It gives people bread. Otherwise
it has no purpose.
"While Russia has IS times as
much territory as we, bolshevlsm caa
not feed its people.
"What flops they ar.
"We have to struggle for every
acre of ground by reclaiming It from
the swamps or the sea. If I had ths
Ural mountains with their Incalcul
able store of raw materials, Siberia
with its mountain forests ... or ths
Ukrlan with Its tremendous wheat
fields, Germany, under national soc
ialism would bo swimming In plenty."
Germany hs described as a haves,
of peace and order, and this con
trasted, he said, with the turmoil
outslae. This happy oondltlon, as
added, was not due to s gift from
others, but "to the power and brU
llanco of our will." .
