HITLER FLATLY
BANSLEAGUE
PENALTIES
New Enunciation Of
German Doctrine
All For Peace

Rim, Nov. 8 uN.S0
Chancellor Adolf Hitler. through
an editorial circulated in the Nazi
party's official correspondence, to-
day proclaimed what is tantamount
to a German Monroe Doctrine on
the matter Of League of Nations
sanctions against Italy.
Germany, according to the new
stand, must maintain unmitigated
neutrality as a sure safeguard
against European entanglements
apt to result from the application
of League penalties against Italy.
The editorial confirmed thoroughly
Germany's refusal to cooperate
fully in sanctions against Italy,
first revealed exclusively by Inter
national News Service.
Not Interested
ReaSserting the official policy
is non-interference with normal
trade relations with any country
to the point where Germany's
domestic welfare might be af.
fected, the editorial continues:
Germany is not a member Of
the League. Apart from that, she
has diSintereSted herself in all re-
SpectS in the African conflict.
From this materializes Germany's
clear, unwavering policy into a
definite Interchangeable form, re-
gardless of what Geneva sanctions
may be.
Ending of the East African
conflict is a matter for the coun-
tries concerned and the interests
therein involved.
There will be no possibility of
dragging Germany into this circle
because the Reich attaches more
value to internal and external re-
construction than to any Specula-
ton on any battlefield"
All For Peace
Reiterating Chancellor Hitler's
desire for peace, the statement
accuses certain circles and bust
ness groups Of many countries" Of
war profiteering, and disavowS
Nazi intentions along this line.
Through neutrality, the editorial
said, Germany Is making Valu-
able contribution to world peace.
Germany as a nation is not
involved in the present conflict,
and will do politically everything
in her power as q non-partisan to
help assure peace" the editorial
stated.

PLANNED FOR
CRIME DRIVE !
Cummings Will Seek
Greater Power, Pay
And Pensions
International News Service

Legislation giving the Federal
Government added weapons in
combating crime was being pre-
pared by Justice Department Of.
ficials today for submission to
Congress in January.
The legislation may embrace
some Of the crime-prevention
methods employed by the police
in foreign countries and which
could be adapted for use in the
United States.
During his recent European
tour, Attorney General Cummings
studied operations of the British
Scotland Yard, the French Surete
and the Belgian Chronological
Institute and indicated numerous
phases of their administrative &C
tivitieS might serve as a model for
similar operations within the de.
partment.
NAoAO OHACo ObAVA6Ck
At the same time Mr.. Cummings
intends to make the Federal Bu.
reau of Investigation an even
stronger unit than 1t is at present.
This decision spiked runors that
j. Edgar Hoover, bureau director,
was to be stripped of much of his
power in the Governments war on
criminals.
Mr.. Cummings said he is more
than satisfied with the work done
by the FBI, and that he will seek
its expansion. AS a start, Congress
will be asked for appropriations to
permit employment of $50 more
special agents, popularity referred
to as G-men. There are approx
mately 500 agents on the depart
ment roster now.
The department feels additional
agents are needed because the re-
cent banking act brought hun
dreds of new banks under Federal
jurisdiction. Federal agents are
assigned to crimes involving such
banks.
Pensions Being Studied
Old age pensions for the agents
and more liberal compensation to
their dependents in case Of death
in line of duty also are receiving
serious study.
Unlike other Federal employees,
no retirement pay has been pro-
vided for .G-men, and because OF
their hazardous occupation they
are unable to obtain insurance be-
cause of high premiuS.
The department is considering
several courses to obtain the pen
sions and benefit. These include
special legislation. voluntary
agreement by the Civil Service
Commission. allowing the men to
share in civil service retirement
funds, and an executive order di.
recting payment of the pensions
from unallocated funds.
