League Observers Think Paris Will

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, October 18-Support Of his
foreign policy was offered by Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler as the price of
reconciliation with his former domestic
opponents in a speech to subleaders last
night.
The address, which was made public
only at noon today, also contained the
opinion of the chancellor that his prede-
cessors had fallen victims to the "Ge-
neva illness"
The chancellor emphasized that the
campaigns for the Reichstag election
and the German plebiscite would be
focused solely on the foreign policy
question.
simultaneously with notice last Sat-
urday of Germany's intention to with
draw both from the arms conference
and the League Of Nations, the Reichs-
tag was dissolved and new elections
were set for November Il, in which the
German people will be asked to state
their stand toward the government
policies.)
Sees Nation United.
Hitler expressed the opinion that the
campaigns would reconcile the entire
ration, provided his opponents stood for
the German honor and love OF peace.
The speaker referred only incidentally
to economic life by taking the stand
that it is improving gradually.
With the same determination with
which the Nazi movement the past IA
years fought for its rights" the chan
cellor declared. Germany will insist
upon her right to equality"
Hitler stated that the Nazi movement
had declined an all-imperlallstlc policy
Of conquest, adding:
I'VE are willing to meet our former
domestic opponents half way and
stretch out a hand to them if they prove
they. too, stand for the German honor
and love o. peace"
Places Issue Uppermost.
He instructed his followers to focus
the entire campaign on the foreign
issues.
The Geneva Illness" the chancellor
added, had made his predecessors pessi-
mists for the nation and optimists for
the League.
II contrariwise tell you that I am
optimistic as concerns my people and
pessimistic as regards Geneva and the
League of Nations"
Germany he said. was never more
peace-loving than when it turned back
from the unhappy atmosphere OF that
city.

President Gives Further Study
to MuCh-InvoIved Pro-
visions.
PRICE REGULATION
POLICY TO BE DEFINED
Arguments on Price Mark-ups Over
Invoice Costs Favor Plan
for Stabilizing.

While President Roosevelt continued
his study of the retail code and its con-
troversial loss limitation provision, prep
arations went ahead at the National Re-
covery Administration today for enforc-
ing the Chief Executives order provid-
ing $500 fine and six months impris-
onment for violators of Blue Eagle regu-
lations.
These regulations, issued by the Pres
ident last night and supplemented by
further regulations from Hugh S. John
son, industrial administrator, forbid the
display of the Blue Eagle by persons not
complying with its provisions and re-
quire its removal on Johnson's order.
Although it had been expected in
some official quarters that Mr.. Roose-
velt was about ready to state his mind
on the retail code, he.was represented as
feeling that because Of the many things
involved. more consideration should be
given.
Conference Arranged.
Consequently, he arranged a series OF
conferences to continue discussions be-
gun yesterday. His decision may influ-
ence prices in a million and a half re-
tail stores.
Mr.. Roosevelt's task was to define
the Governments policy toward price
regulation in a retail distribution code
Before him are arguments for and
against minimum price mark-ups over
invoice costs
Gen. johnson said 80 per cent of the
countrys retailers wanted this form OF
price stabilization. Secretary Wallace
who is vigorously opposed said, how
ever, an agreement submitted to the
President would prohibit sales below in

NAZ|S IN AUSTRIA
HAVE ARMED FORCE
Military Group Formed and
in Regular Training Under
Junior Army Officers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VIENNA, October ia nation wide
Nazi military organization has been de-
veloped in Austria, it was disclosed to-
day, despite the handicap of the party S
dissolution in this country.
The widespread movement came to
light as government Investigations con-
tinued into alleged Nazi plots at the
Linz Garrison and elsewhere to seize
arms for use in further action"
Details of the investigations were only
slowly forthcoming, but enough has been
revealed to show a small corner of the
Nazi organization. Outstanding in the
disclosures is the fact that Nazi storm
troops no longer are being organized
by civilians, but are in the hands of
Austrian army officers-either active or
recently retired.
Higher Officers Shielded.
Higher officers, it appeared, either are
not involved or as a matter of policy
are being shielded from compromising
themselves Lieutenants and captains
make up the active membership. A Sec
ond fact is that these Nazi storm troops
are officered by army men and drill
regularly. Kusrnberger Forest, near
Linz for example, has been the scene
of such Nazi maneuvers.
A curious detail of these drills. in
vestigators say, is the use of Fascist
Heimwehr" sentries surrounding the
drill ground in the middle OF the forest
to keep away casual mixers. These SEN
tries. OF course, are all Nazis disguised
in the paraphernalia of Prince Won Star
Hemberg's unoutlawed home guards.
They customarily assemble at day.
break, arriving inconspicuouSly in small
groups and departing similarly.
Divided Into Brigades.
The third fact uncovered in the in
vestigations, it was said, Is that the
undercover military organiZation-en-
listing civilians but organized from
within the army and allegedly preserv-
ing contact with Germany-is divided
into brigades.
Lieut. Franz Fritsch of Alpine Regi-
ment 7, arrested in connection with the
Linz garrison plot, was acting com
mander of the Upper Austrian Brigade
of NaziS.)
The Austrian political police also
enter into the investigation of the Nazl
organization.
The difficult position of the police ii
they ever should be called upon to ar
rest army men is apparent, but the sit
uation is complicated further by the
fact that federal police are not 100 per
cent free from Nazi sympathizerS.
