 ARE APPROVED
Disarm am ent Message Brings Out Comment
 from All Parts World ENDORSEMENT GIVEN
 BY GREAT BRITAIN
Views of France, Germany, Japan and Other Coun-
 tries Encouraging

WASHINGTON, May 17-Presi- dent Roosevelt's eyes are today centered on troubled Europe as he measured the worlds response to his call for renunciation to armed aggression and side by side march to peace and prosperity, counting on mobilized public opinion to support him.
 The Presidents immediate at tention was directed toward Berlin and none here disguised the inn portance attached to Chancellor IIIiiGS,1r's speech.
 Observers regarded it as fore cast of immediate accomplishments at the Geneva Arms Conference.
 Endorsed by British
 British Premier Ramsay MacDon- aid was the first to respond to President Roosevelt's proposals, with a statement of wholehearted endorsement to the arms message. France, in an appreciative mes sage, after receiving explanations, indicated the message was intended solely as a warning to Germany. The French Ambassador in Wash ington said: Tt surely will mod crate Hitler"
 Tokyo's Viewpoint
 Tokyo indicates that the non aggression suggestions are not ac- ceptable if applied literally to the Orient.
 Moscow was aroused to specula- tion as to the possibility of Am erican recognition of Soviet Rus sia. In Geneva, Arthur Henderson, Chairman of the World Disarma- ment Conference, said if the gov- ernments respond to Roosevelt's s appeal, the Disarmament Confer ence convention will be speedily secured.
 Scandinavian View
 Stockholm viewed the appeal as an important forward step, his- toric event.
 The President of Mexico said his country is resolved to be a better neighbor and close differences with other nations.
 Berlin official quarters were pleased to note the evidence that the United States has abandoned the lice cold isolation"
 Budapest received the suggestions most friendly.
 Prague officials said the message is seen as the starting point for new and peaceful disarmament talks

Chancellor Makes Import ant Statement that
 World Awaited
SAYS AGGRESSION
 NOT CONTEMPLATED
Pledges Nation to Act with Others Tn Matter of
 Disarmament

BERLIN, May 17.-Chan- cellOr Adolf Hitler, as the re- spOnsible head of the German Government, today faced the supreme test of his states manship, in his maiden speech before a special session of the Reichstag when he laid down his foreign policy.
 The Chancellor was con- fident he could so present Germany's case t ha t the world would believe in the sincerity of his Government when he reasserted Germany's will to observe peace.
 The important statement was made when the query, will there be another war, was on the lips of millions of Germans as it gradually dawned upon them how iso- lated Germany is at the pres- ent in the family of nations.
 One of Two Policies
 Chancellor Hitler had to choose either to revert to denunciation of the Versailles Treaty or try to accommo- date himself to world opinion in a manner calculated to assuage the feelings abroad and at the same time he was under the necessity of retain ing the confidence of his Ma tionalist followers at home.
 Chancellor Hitler gratefully en- dorsed President Roosevelt's plan for relieving the international crisis and promised cooperation in the American Presidents efforts, and agreed that without solution of the disarmament problem, lasting econ- omic reconstruction is unthinkable.
 Pledges Germany
 In behalf of the entire nation, Chancellor Hitler pledged that Ger many will go as far as any nation in disarming, even to the extent of scrapping the whole military equip ment, provided other powers do the same thing.
 Chancellor Hitler denied that Germany contemplated invasion of France or Poland and particularly offered to refrain from any claims for instruments of aggression so long as other nations scrapped theirs.
 The German Chancellor said his Government is pledged to proceed on no other pacts except that pre- scribed by international treaties but asserted Germany, under no cir cumstances will sign any paper which continued her disqualifica- tion, should such an effort be made.
 Chancellor Hitler warned that ef-

Fipe-Day Week, Sis-Hour Day
 BiU Said to Be Destined to
 Be Shelued, Present Congress

WASHINGTON, May 8-0Special Ccrrespondence)-On the legisla- tive firing line of Capitol Hill the tempo of today compared with that of yesteryear may be likened to the difference between a single shot musket and machine gun Even the eldest of the veterans dare not predict with any degree of certainty what is going to hap pen from one day to another.
 But if anything appears defi- nite at this time, it is that the five day week, six-hour day bill will not pass, CT if it does it will be so greatly altered as to be almost un- recognizable in it's present form. So great is the risk, however, of making any kind of a prediction that it is altogether within the realms of possibility that by the time this is read that the meas ure will have been enacted into law.
 Will Shelve It
 The talk around the Capitol for the last several days has been that the bill is going to be shelved. It is suggested that as substitute leg islation will be offered whereby trade associations would regulate their own industries, with the fed eral government keeping clos watch over the whole situation. It is problematical whether anything of that character will be offered during the special session.
 Recent developments have indi- cated desire not to press the five-day week bill. Hearings, first scheduled to last full three weeks, were suddenly cut short and end ed Friday after witnesses had been heard over a period of eight days.
 Voices Opposition
 Alfred Sloan, Jr., president of General Motors Corporation, was the last of the important witnesses He voiced opposition to the legis- lation in it's present form.
 Secretary of Labor Perkins was a strong supporter and urged that a minimum wage provision be add ed. The American Federation of Labor could not go along with her on that.
 AS passed by the Senate the bill provided that foreign importations would not have to be produced by labor conforming to the five day week and six-hour day. Represen- tative William Connery, Jr., oi Massachusetts, introduced the bill and it would make necessary com pliance with the measure by for

BY VERDI
OPENS SEASON
IN CAPITAL
By RONALD THORNE

The presentation of Verdi's ia.
nous opera, La Forza del Des-
tino" on Sunday, october /, at the
Washington Auditorium by the
Metropolitan Civic Opera Com
pany is Of interest not only be.
cause Maria Verdi, a lineal de.
Scendant of the great composer, is
concerned in the enterprise, but
because the opera itself has not
been presented in Washington in
many years.
Although one of Verdi's out
standing works, it has been less
frequently produced, of recent
years, in this country than his
other operas. It will be recalled
that the opera figured promi-
nently in the story of Romance"
the play in which Doris Keane
starred for many years.
American artists will be strongly
represented among the coming
seasons soloists with the National
Symphony Orchestra, for accord
ing to information already avail
able the list will include such out
standing luminaries Of the concert
stage as John Charles Thomas,
Albert Spalding, Ernest Hutche-
son, Sophia Braslau, John Powell,
Rose hampton, and Gloria Per
kins, the 10-year-old prodigy. In
addition, Frank Gittelson and
George Wargo, of the National
symphony, will play with the or
cheStra.
American music, it is expected,
will be almost as prominent in the
programs as American artists in
the list of soloists.
The Army Band plays this eve
ming at the Capitol and at 2 p. m.
Sunday at the Gold Star Mothers
program at the Tomb Of the Un'
known Soldier, at Arlington.
The band will appear on three
radio programs during the COM

cert at the Capitol next Friday
