MUNICH PEACE SEES AIDING
DEMOCRACIES IN ARMS RACE
GERMANY HELD AT PEAK
OF ARMAMENT RATE

ONE-THIRD NATION'S INCOME

EXPERTS UNCERTAIN HOW
LONG EFFORT CAN CONTINUE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. Even on
tnl side ot S.00O mlle of ocean, the
peace of Munich la hard to swallow.
It has too much tha look of making
Adolf Hitler the autocrat of Europe.
But, before you decide that lunacy
has been permanetly enthroned, there
la one thing to remember.
Peace gives the democracies an
open track In an armament race.
And. In an armament race, the dic
tatorships are like claiming stake
nags In good training, while Eng
land and France resemble War Ad
miral after a summer at grass. The
dictatorships have had the edge at
tho start, but the democracies pos
sess Incomparably greater reserves
of strength and staying power.
One-Third of a Nation.
- Indeed, Germany is already mak
ing her peak armament effort, un
less American experts are badJy de

ernment economists have made care-1

The president himself has been deep

Information from technicians at

have been compiled on Germany

And one of these reports shows that
Rerr Hitler Is now using one-third
of the German national Income on
expenditures which may be classed
as military. The figure comes from
one of the shrewdest and most con
servative economists In Washington,
yet It seems Incredible.
To be sure, the fltrure Includes
a vast range of expenditures which
would not be called military In this
country. Germany's spending for
armaments alone Is quite staggering,
considering her resources. But food

and Great Dean Star.
WRIGLEY FIELD, Chicago. Oct. 6.
(TP) Booming home-runs by Prankle
Crosetti and Joe DIMagglo In the
last two Innings, each with a mate
on base, drove Dizzy Dean from the
hill and gave the New York Yankees
their second straight world series vic
tory over the disheartened Chicago
Cubs, 6 to 3. before a crowd of 42,108
this chilly day.
Although he had been lifted for
a pinch-hitter just before Crosetti !
crashed what proved the winning j
homer In the eighth. Lefty Gomer. i
was credited with the victory and a
new record of winning six world
series games without a defeat.
Dean, the losing hurler, had given
die slugging Yanks only three hits
up to the eighth Inning and ap
peared to be coasting to certain tri
umph until Selkirk opened the fatal
eighth with a single and after two
forceouts Crosetti hit his drive Into
the left bleachers. DIMaggfb's blow
In the ninth with Henrtch aboard
was an anti-climax, more or less.
Cubs nejerted.
The second straight defeat was a
crusher for the Cubs, who looked
utterly dejected as they wandered
from the field. The Yanks were
so hilarious after DIMagglo's wallop
that they threw all their bate onto
the gross and several did a war dance
In front of the dugout.
As the teams leave tonight for
New York, the Cubs face the Im
probable task of winning two of the
three games scheduled in Yankee
stadium in order to keep the series
alive and even returning to Chicago
for the wlndup. Manager Joe Mc
Carthy said that Monte Pearson prob
ably would be his starting pitcher In
the third game on Saturday.
Dean Goes Strong.
Until Crosetti hit his three-and-two
ball after fouling off a half
dozen. It looked like Dean had the
Yanks in his hip pocket and that
his S to 3 lead would be plenty.
They had been breaking their backs
swinging on his alow curves, and
only 15 Yanks had faced him the
la.-rt five straight Innings.
The Yanks had scored their first
two runs on a fluky double by .Toe
Gordon In the second Inning, the
ban rolling to the outfield when
Stan Hack and Bill J urges coll Wed
going after It, and DIMagglo and
Gehrig crossing the plate. That was
how good the Great Dlz had bee
so the shock was terrific when Cros
etti. then DiMaggio teed off on him.
He probably was a trifle tired. DI
Magglo's homer was a real wallop
that sared far out of sight over
the left field wall.
The Cubs didn't find Oomen very
puzzling. In fact, they collected
nine hits off him before Johnny
Mtirphy went in to atop them with
his sweeping curves In the eighth

LONDON. Oct. &) The house
of commons today voted confidence
In Prime Minister Chamberlain and
approved his bargain of Munich for
keeping Europe out of war. The final
vote was 366 to 144.
The house, by a majority of tuo
and a half to one. answerM "yes"
to Chamberlain's demand for approv
al of his historic conduct of British
affairs during the recent crisis, which.
he said, saved Czechoslovakia from
destruction and Europe from Arma
geddon. Earlier a labor motion disapprov
ing that policy as one which "led to
the sacrifice of Czechoslovakia under
the threat of armed force and the
humiliation of our country" had
been defeated by 366 to ISO.
The house adjourned until Novem
ber X amid a tremendous ovation for
Chamberlain.
The prime minister left the cham
ber smiling and waving acknowledge
ments. The defeated labor motion was an
amendment to the government mo
tion for a vote of confidence.
The two votes followed four days ot
debate on the crisis and the four-
power agreement which ended It,
marked by vigorous government de
fense and bitter opposition assalutf,
in which some members of the prime
minister's own conservative party
Joined.
Chamberlain himself wound up thr
debate, declaring he was opposed to
a general election, which, he said,
tends to "magnify differences."
"Possibly we may want great effort
from the nation In montha to come,1
he said, "If that be to, the smaller
the differences tha better."
In answer to labor attacks on his
policy he declared to "accuse us of
having betrayed Czechoslovakia
simply preposterous. What we did
was save ber from annihilation art'l
give her a chance for a new life."
