By the Associated Press Both England and France, parties to the "Munich peace" which pared the Slide ton land from Czechoslovakia, Saturday f oced the problem of quick er rearmament In an atmosphere of ) pessimism over the future of rela tions with Germany and Italy. 1 Unless Britain's armed strength Is sufficient to match Germany's many British quarters believe, surrender in6tefld of compromise will be Inev itable when Chancellor Hitler raises the question of returning pre-war colonies, the next Item on his agenda. Ita rearmament program slowed for months, the French government made It plain yesterday that It had com mlted Itself to heavy purchases of war material unless an agreement could be obtained to minimize Eu rope's dangers of conflict. On a potential warfront, the Czechoslovak-Hungarian border, more thnn 1.000.000 soldiers waited for diplo mats to agree or disagree on the question of Hungary's demands for thousands of square miles of Czecho slovak territory. The Czech's latest proposal, offer ing lands which Hungary Insists contain preponderant Hungarian population, was reported to be unac ceptable to Budapest. In Berlin relch officials said rest dents of Sudeten land may choose y their deputies next month for Chan I eel lor Hitler's non-debatlve par.la mint in the substitution of civil for ai'ititrv; nc, t - - The German economics ministry let It be known that It would like to effect . a German-British-American trade pact. To London from Prague went for mer President Eduard Benes of Czechoslovakia. Politically ruined by Hitler's coup at Munich. Benes wn broken In health. Upon recuperating, he expects to lecture at the Univer sity of Chicago. LONDON. OctT 22. (API O..C of the foremost problems facing Prime I Minister Neville Chamberlain after tde "Munich peace" Is to push Britain's rearmament program on a still vaster scale and, st the same time, continue his policy of appease ment with Germany and Ttaly. The British public, from the man in the street to the aristocrats and big-moneyed classes. Is demanding a greater national effort to make the nation strong. )On the other hand, Germany and Italy, ever distrustful of democratic motives, see such a development as a blow to the hopes for arms limi tation born at the Munich four power conference. If Britain and France were to show so little faith In the Munich accord as to speed up their own armaments, Germany and Italy would have to do the same, say the Inspired Nazi and Fascist press. Even In high British quarters there is little attempt to conceal pessimism over the future of rela tions between the two western de mocracies and the two authoritarian nations. Big obstacles He ahead colonies. Spain, economic issues and Britons from right to left are insisting that the only way the democracies can hold their own with the dictators in any settlement la through armed strength. The document that Chamberlain brought back from Munich bearing his own and Adolf Hitler's signa tures a pledge to adjust their dif ferences by consultation and a state ment of the desires of their two . Peoples never again to go to war sroinst each o'-her has done little to change this view. Nor dors the British public as a whole regard Premier Mussolini's withdrawal of some of his Italian troops from Spain as an Important trend toward better relations with Britain. Of other factors in the changed European situation, left win circles particularly are disturbed by Indl eailons that Britain and France are to rule Russia completely out of their future European plan.

(AP The wage and hour administration dis closed tonight that employers would have to keep records of some sort for 11,000.000 workers under the la bor standards act going Into effect at midnight tonight. Officials estimated that the law woud result In wage raises for 750.000 persons, and shorten working hours for 1 .500,000. They aald records would have to be kept also for the other millions of employe In Inter state commerce whose wages and working conditions already exceed the standards or the statute, or whoso occupations exempt them from tho law. However, In the case of many ex empt groups, such as professional wrokers and administrative employes, only the worker's name, address and occupation must be recorded. Elmer F. Andrews, the wage-hour administrator, disclosed In regula tions that no speclflo form would be required for the records, as long as the data kept Included all the de- j alrPd information and was accessible to the administrator and his repre sentatives. To make the task of employers as simple aa possible, he said, he had tried to coordinate the record -keeping reqtrlrements under this law with those under the social security act, state unemployment conmpensatlon laws and similar statutes. The administrator met the report ers during the day, telling them that "generally, employers have been fine" about preparing to observe the law. In those sections of the coun try where objections had been raised to It, he continued, there had been no labor legislation previously. "It it a new animal to them, and apparently a very ferocious one," An drews commented. But he predicted that after the act had gone Into ef fect employers would like it as well aa employe. llAiAMITS AMSTERDAM. The Ketherlanda. Oct. 22.

WITH THE JAPANESE ARMY BE- FOR HANKOW, Oct. 22. P) The commander of the forces pressing on Hankow, General Shunroku Hata. de clared today that Japan would con tinue her war until all anti-Japanese resistance ended. He said the Japanese would chase Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek into Szechwan or Yunnan province, ex treme southwestern China, If neces sary, and were prepared as a last resort to fight any nation challeng ing what he called Japanese national rights and Interests In China. He predicted early capture of Han kow, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's Yangtze river headquarters, and the "smashing of organised, .large scale .fhliiesn resistance." 1 Japanese staff officers. Jubilant over the capture of Canton yesterday by a 10-day-old expedition Into south China and the new faster approach of their own forces on the Hankow front, asserted they would be in Han kow within two weeks. They said Hankow's defenders were disheartened and were virtually col lasplng In all sectors. While Hata was being Interviewed it hla field headquarters.

To rid the threatened rone of for eign shipping and potential incidents, the naval command advised foreign vessels to withdraw from Hankow for at least ten miles up river. Observers saw In this the threat of mass bombardment of the inner most Chinese defense positions. The United States gunboats Guam and Luzon weer among the vessels sta tioned at Hankow. (Reuters, British news agency, cor rected Its previous report from Hong kong that Generalissimo Chiang had left Hankow for Changsha, about 200 miles south, capital of Hunan prov ince. The Reuters correspondent at Hankow reported the generalissimo and Mme. Chiang were still at Han kow.) General Hata. In high spirits over reports of today's virtually bloodless occupation of Canton, some 600 miles to the south, and pleased now by the progress of his own more diffi cult campaign, expressed confidence in Japan's future on the Asiatic mainland. He foresaw the Imperial govern ment as dominating Asiatic affairs. A chance question on the likeli hood of border friction or conflict with Soviet Russia elicited this re sponse: "Japan Is prepared to fight any nation, not only the Soviet union, when all other means have failed to protect her national right and In terests." Asked whether Japan considered the Soviet union a menace to Japan ese domination of China and how he evalucd the military might of the Ruaslans, Hata replied: "I do not believe the Russian claims should be taken at their face value."
