HITLER SENDS
WITHDRAWAL
FROM LEAGUE
Formal Action Strengthens
Political Position in
the Reich
By FREDERICK oECHSNER

BERLIN, Oct. 20. (UP). -
The government of Chancellor
Adolf Hitler last night dispatch
ed formal notification to Geneva
of Germany's withdrawal from
the League. of Nations.
The notification followed Ger
many's announcement of this
plan, made by Baron Constantine
Won Neurath, foreign minister,
last Saturday. Berlin simultane-
ously quit the preliminary dis
armament conference, refusing
to return until granted arms
equality.
The foreign office remained
secretive concerning the details
of the formal notification of
withdrawal from the league, re-
fusing to give out more than the
bare announcement that notice
had been sent.
1t was generally regarded here
as a move designed to spike re-
ports abroad that Germany plan
ned an early return to Geneva
and that she might not formally
quit the league at all. Hitler's
declaration that his government
would sign nothing" and return
to no conference until arms
was granted Germany
was in line with this same firm
stand which the Nazi regime is
taking regarding the entire prof.
ect of world arms limitation.
The feeling in official quar-
tiers here is that Germany has
been thoroughly disarmed since
the end of the World war, but
that the former allied powers
have consistently refused to dis
arm. as provided under the
treaty of Versailles. Hence, UNI
til they are prepared to do so, or
to grant Germany arms equality
and a measure Of security, Hitler
insists there is no reason for con-
tinuing the arms discussions.

INDUSTRY INVITES
STRICT NRA CONTROL. OVER
MANUFACTURING EXPANSION
Action Is Cheering to o.
ficials in Face of
Problems
By RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. (UP)
NRA officials were elated today
over the recommendation of the
cotton textile industry committee
for strict control of expansion OF
manufacturing capacity in textile
plants.
These recommendations have
been approved by General john
son. Under them no new ipstalla-
tions of machinery in cotton tex
tile mills, except requirements,
may be made without certificates
of authority from him.
This decision covering the cot
ton textile industry goes to the
heart of the problem of overpro-
duction as seen around MIA
headquarters. In many Industries,
plant capacity is so overbuilt that
even at the 1929 consumption
rate the public could not buy all
that could be produced.
Willingness of the cotton tex
tile industry 10 fecoSlZs Cie Ne'ii

operate with NRA in holding plant
capacity within some relation 10
probable consumption is regarded
here as an important contribution.
1t is particularly welcome at
this time because murmurlngs OF
criticism have been floating IN TO
NRA headquarters.
To many here, it is apparent
that NRA is passing through ITS
most critical period. Yet with
about 100000 persons re-em-
ployed and the volume of wages
raised by 20 per cent, recovery
officials believe sound progress IS
being made.
Many of the criticisms now be-
ing leveled at MIRA arise from the
difficulty in quickly re-educatlng
a large number of persons to a
new point of view. Fundamental
in that new viewpoint is the prln-
ciple emphasized by Senator Wag-
ner, one of the authors OF the

cient to make us an attractive

"Now that our economic diff
culties are less acute, the time

Lord Beatty, one of the nations
best-l%ed naval heroes, declared
that replacement of present bat
tleships' in the British fleet was
inevitable after 1886.
a "The United States wants larrg-
err ships than the British empire
and as many ships" he declared,
"but we cannot afford to permit
our ships to be inferior to those
of any other country"
His stirring plea that Britain
retain her supremacy of the seas
met with resounding applause. .,
Lord Beatty scathingly attacked
the London naval treaty of 1851
limiting Britain to no more than
so cruisers. declaring it was de-
plorable blunder. He said that

which the cabinet subsequently
cancelled. would have enabled

Lewis said that conference be-

mine owners in the Pennsylvania
fields had reached definite I'M

had not lived up to promises to
bargain in good faith with union

Johnson was understood to
agree with Lewis that only action

labor controversy could end the

protest against the status of the
American farmer in the present
phase of the recovery drive.
In Nebraska, Governor Charles
Bryan and former Governor Keith
Neville, who resigned as State

the farmer is suffering from de-
crease Of prices of his products

he buys. Neville attributed this
