'MUNICH PEACE' IS I
BRITAIN'S WORRY;
HITLERHAS EDGE
Return Of Colonies Next
German Demand Hun
gary Rejects Czech's
Land Offer.
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.

PUZZLE ALIKE TO
Fay Bjiost And . Shorter
Hours For Somfe As Law
Goes Into Effect.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. (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.

BYJAPGENERAL
Early Breakdown Of Resist
ance Predicted As Can
ton Falls Japan Ready
To Fight World.
(By Associated Press.)
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. Japanese
jyrM for-- were smanhlng their way
lit. he twrvtng'Ycngtw!. within Sfi
miles by air and 60 miles by rver of
the Wuhan cities Hankow. Yanyang
and Wuchang wh lie northern and
southern armies were cloning in on
their goal like a vise.
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."

WASHINGTON. Oct. ,22, 4-Or-ganl&ed
aviation enthusiasts Intend
asking congress to help build up a
fleet of 60,000 private planes to re
inforce the administration's prospec
tive new defense measures.
Officials of the National Aeronau
tic association, as spokesmen for sev
eral groups of fliers, already have re
quested army and navy support for
the training of civilian pilots, re
duced Insurance rates and other pro
posals. They argued that a fleet such as
they have In mind, representing a
five-fold increase of the existing 10,
000 private planes, would make avail
able upwards of 100.000 trained fliers
for military service In' the event of
war.
Building the planes would so ex
pand the aviation Industry that It
could meet quickly any war-time or
ders for military craft, they asserted.
