singing if indirect reply to Chan

Daladier declared today that
France is assured of her defenses
of territory and liberty"
The pfemier's speech was re-

the chamber of deputies and
brought a test vote of confidence
in the cabinet by the overwhelm-
ing majority Of 47O to 1870.
France is not isolated today"
he declared, with a note of tri-
umph. "On the contrary, France
never before had so many friends
throughout the world" The pre-
mier posed three questions for the
German chancellor to answer:
If you are sincere why are
you avoiding inspection of your
ornaments?
2.-If you wish disarmament,
why do you start negotiations by
walking out?
3.-If you wish others to dis
arm, why do you start by asking
for increased ornaments yourself.

WALL ST. Def
With ACTION
Plans to Issue Subpoenas
for Men and Records
of Business Today
By LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. (UP)
New York stock exchange officials
yesterday defied senate stock
market investigators with refus-
al to circulate to exchange mem
bers a QUESTIONABLE designed to
obtain details Of pool and other
trading accounts during the past
four years.
Ferdinand Pecora, investigation
counsel, announced the eX-
changes action. He said he would
begin at once to issue SubpoenaS
for the books and records of every
member of the New York eX-
change.
81 am determined to get the in
formation" Pecora said last night.
"Subpoenas will begin going out
tomorrow"
There are about 1875 seats on
the exchange and the member
firms number several hundred.
Each firm would be summoned
here under Pecora's program.
He said last night that the
challenge of the New York eX-
change undoubtedly would influ
ence the attitude Of officials Of Is
other major stock exchanges in
the United States, which have
been given identical question
naires. ..
The stock exchange inquiry was
expressly directed in the senate
resolution authorizing the current
investigation. The showdown came
just II hours before Pecora was
to begin questioning officials of
the Chase National bank about
numerous operations.
The bankers, representing the
biggest commercial banking inSti-
tuition in the world, arrived last
night from New York. They de-
barked from two private cars at
tached with a private dining car
to a regular Pennsylvania Filler.
Pecora and Richard V. Whit
ney, stock exchange president,
have been disputing the propriety
of the QUESTIONABLE since the
committee submitted it September
80. Last Thursday Pecora said he
had given the exchange "a hours
to comply with his request that
the questionable be circulated
among the membership. The dead
line passed without action.
81 am determined to get the in
formation by November 49," Pc
cora declared. eff | can't get it

BERLIN Oct. 17.-(UP).-
World disarmament efforts at
Geneve were described as a
"mockery" by Baron Constantin
Won Neurath, Nazi foreign minis
ter, yesterday.
Won Neurath, whose message to
Geneva advising Germany was
walking out of the arms parley
and the League of Nations shock
ed the world Saturday, yesterday
commented that his action merely
had deprived the Reich's former
enemies of a fresh opportunity to
disarm Germany.
The foreign minister, replying
indirectly to Arthur Henderson,
arms parley chairman, remarked,
however, that the former allies
still "can work for real disarma-
ment" without Germany.
A strong invitation to the pow
ers to reopen arms negotiations
was seen when Won Neurath, re-
calling Germany's previous with
drawal from the parley. said:
obviously, Germany's aim then
as now was not to accept the fail
ure of the. conference as a fact
and content herself with such a
disastrously negative result. Ger
many then, you will recall, imme-
diately attempted to overcome the
deadlock by diplomatic negotia-
tons" s-..-.-.-.-. ......---

GENEVA, Oct. 17.-(UP).-.
Germany is prepared to start ne
gotiations for return to the league
disarmament conference. German
quarters today indicated it is re-
garded likely that formal negotia.
tions be deferred until after the
German election and the plebiscite
November 18th when the country
will be asked to back the govern
ment's withdrawal.
League officials thought it prob
able that the October 26 meeting
of the disarmament conference
would adjourn at once until after
the election in order to give more
time to private negotiations.
1t is reported here that Ger
many would not notify the league
of the withdrawal decision until
after the election and plebiscite.
If negotiations begin success
fully it might never prove neces-
sary to send the formal notifica-
ton.
So far, Germany mas withdrawn
officially only from the disarma-
ment conference.

sincere efforts toward disarma'
ment could be expected from the
other powers. He added that flu,
ture developments lay with the
heavily armed nations, such as
France, Italy and England, and
reiterated his denial that Germany
was asking to rearm.
1T is mockery," he said, when
others speak against German re-
armament instead of recognizing
the necessity of real disarma-
ment."
Won Neurath complained that
Germany's position had been
twisted in the retransmission Of
the German arms statement of
October 6 from London to Wash
ington. He said tie twisted ver-
sion wrongly conveyed the impress
sion that Germany was seeking to
rearm, which prompted the semi
official warning from Washington
to Germany against such move.

armament conference began" Won
Neurath continued in his press
statement, 1--WE tried to show the
way to 'disarm. but only detouss

Door Remains Open For An Early
Settlement OF Armament Crisis
Many Private individuals, Especially in England Are
in Sympathy With German Arms Claims
BY HENRY F. MISSELWITZ
United Press Cable Editor
downright, 1888, United Press)

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-(UP).
Despite the abruptness of her &C
ton in quitting the League of Ma
tions and considerable flamboy-
ant war talk in Europe, there
were indications in the flood OF
disturbing news from abroad last
night that Germany eventually
would return to the preliminary
disarmament conference.
The unity of the other powers
in their determination to carry on
was one encouraging feature of
the dark developments at Geneva.
This and the fact that the German
statesmen gave broad intimations
that they would not be unwilling
to return if the former allied pow
ers are at all conciliatory left the
door open for an early settlement
of the latest crisis besetting the
worlds efforts to cut down its ter
rife arms burden. :, ,
Furthermore, it may be recalled
that Germany quit the arms par
lev a year ago-and returned in
December. She has precedent for
her present gesture, and there
were indications that the move
was designed as much for home
consumption as otherwise.
Chancellor Adolf Hitler, for ex-
ample, is rumored to have presi-
Dental aspirations. The Nazi
chieftain, some say. would not be
averse to seeing President Paul
Won Hindenburg step aside-pre-
sumably because of his sc years
and the infrmities of advancing
age-and permit Hitler to step
into the highest office in the
Reich.
Hence, looking beneath his bold
attack on the league, some feel
local politics may be largely to
blame. They support this conten-
ton with the fact that Hitler
caused the Reichstag to be dis
solved Immediately by the aged
president and new elections called
for next month. There can be but
one result, since there is only the
one Nazi party in all Germany,
and the ballots doubtless will be
overwhelmingly in favor of Hit
ler's "strong policy" toward the
league and the former allies.
Encouragement of that sort
could conceivably build him up
sufficiently for, the coup against
Won Hindenburg.
Furthermore, Germany has little
to lose in withdrawing from the
conference at this juncture. Many
private individuals in England, es-
pecially, are more than little
sympathetic with her demands
for arms equality and security in
a Europe armed to the teeth all
about her, and the allied powers
are not altogether one in their
own disarmament conceptions.
If the conference continues
without Germany, the so-called
united front among the, allies may
