chairman of the Senate COMMITTEES
on Naval Affairs, as vigorously as.
serting that this country must keen
out OF war and demanding that Amer

The paper said Senator Walsh de-
clared that the Federal Government.
by providing the means of departure
from the trouble area, was doing it's
full duty by its nationals and that
damage or losses to American BUSH
ness or property in China can be
taken care of in a peaceful way after

Senator Walsh was quoted as be-
heving evacuation of Americans from
China is so important that naval
vessels should be used if necessary
and that the task should be COM
pleted as quickly as possible to fore
stall any possible spread of war prop
aganda in this country.
While decrying entrance of this
country into any war except in de-

points to the condition of the Amer

was quoted as saying was second

ROME, September 9.-Fascist Italy
today turned back an invitation to
confer with IL other powers on ways to
stop Mediterranean piracy by sug-
gesting to England and France that
the question be placed in the hands
Of the European Intervention
Committee. Germany acted in iden-
tical fashion.
The Italian reply was sent by For

ments, which have sponsored tomor-
rows Mediterranean parley in Nyon.

Both Italian and German notes de-
clared the Soviet accusation that
Italian submarines had torpedoed two
Soviet ships finally prompted their
decision.
Reservations should be made" the
italian note said, with regard to the
invitation of Soviet Russia to the con-
ference"
The German reply, given to the

collaboration with II Duce.
Reply Three -Pronged.
Italy's reply was three-pronged. It
said
l. The Fascist government at first
was inclined to accept the invitation
to the conference, which is designed
to find way to stop pirate" attacks
on the ships of many nations in the
Mediterranean.
2. But Soviet accusations that Ital-
ian submarines had torpedoed and
sunk two Soviet ships introduced at
the last moment new and grave ele-
ment into the situation"
3. THE Fascist government hence
has come to the conclusion that the
arguments to be considered can be ex-
amined adequately by the Non-Inter-
vention Committee in London" This
27-power committee, set up months
ago in an attempt to keep foreign men
and arms out of Spain, has had ex-

HYDE PARK, N. Y, September g.
President Roosevelt today asked John
D. Biggers of Toledo, Ohio, to take
charge of the unemployed registration
authorized by Congress. Biggers said
he would give his answer in WASH
ington next Wednesday.
AT the same time it was understood
tnat preliminary consideration was be-
ing given by the President to utilizing
local election and postal machinery
to make the count, which will be kept
on voluntary basis.
Under the tentative plan the Presi-
dent may stir interest before the
registration by a public radio address,
with the registration set for a single
day-probably Saturday some time
after the Fall elections.
Registrants would be assisted in
filling out simplified missionaries at
regular polling places. To guard
against Misrepresentation they would
be required to make answers under
oath.
Heads Glass Firm.
They would be given a card showing
they had registered. If successful. the
count may be repeated every six
months.
Biggers is president of the Libbey-

years in the motor industry he has
devoted most Of his life to glass manu.

He is 48 years old and for several
months has been a member of the

Council. He is native of st. Louis.
Biggers is Republican, but he said
today he had never been active in

GOEbbELS WARNS
NAZ|S IN BATTLE
FOR NEW EUROPE
Will Fight to Last Breath
Against Communism,
He Tells Congress.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NUREMBERG, September 9.-Nazi
Germany's little propaganda minister
Paul Joseph Goebbels, declared be-
fore National Socialisms Annual Con-
gress today that new Europe is being
formed for which we will fight to the
last breath" against communism.
DR.. Goebbels brought all his powers
of invective into play-some of them
against Americans and "deluded" de-
mocracies-a few hours after Ger
many had decided she could not sit
down at Mediterranean conference
table with other powers SO long as
Soviet Russia, which has accused
Fascist Italy of sinking her ships,
would be there.
He warned Europe and the democ-
racies that Spain is the worlds cross
roads," and added:
What happens today in Spain may
repeat itself tomorrow in any coun-
try!'
Can't Tolerate Communist Power,
Then he screamed that the estab-
lishment of "a Communist power" in
Western Europe cannot be tolerated"
Some leading American demo-
cratic political personages," Goebbels
shouted, "sympathize with the Spanish
government.
If it is not scoundrelly and despic-
able,' he cried, ito travel with this
terrible world danger, then it is a
case of Grass stupidity to which one
might apply the Gospel prayer, God,
forgive them, for they know not what
they do"
He spoke then of the democracies
which, he said, persisted in "deluding
themselves" that the Spanish insur-
sency was bid for power by reaction
airy generals.
That idea, he said, is the "devilish"
work of Moscow, and nations which
close their eyes to this menace will
some day suffer terrible awakening"
Attacks Not to Be flushed.
Earlier on the eve of visit to the
democracies, officials denied that at
tacks on that form of government
would be shushed to spare them en-
barrassment.
Democracy already had been linked
with bolshevism in a principal ad-
dress. Dr. Alfred Rosenberg, Nazi
ideaological leader and recipient of
one of Germanys new Nobel" prizes,
called bolshevism the "illegitimate
child" of democracy and said democ-
racy was doomed.
The visit by representatives of the
United States, France and Great Brit
ain constituted the first acceptance of
invitations to the party rally by the
larger democratic countries.
Prentiss B. Gilbert, United States
charge d'affaires at the Berlin En-
bassy, and Andre Francois -Poncet and
Sir Neville Meyrick Henderson, the
French and British Ambassadors.
were scheduled to leave Berlin for
Nuremberg tonight.
There were reports some time ago
that assurances had been given to
the United States, France and Britain
that no anti-democratic attacks would
be made if their diplomatic repre-
sentatives came to Nuremberg. This
was fatty denied today.
Last nights session, devoted to one
of the bitterest attacks against lib
eralism and democracy ever made in
the Third Reich, strengthened the
denial beforehand.

AMOY, China, September g.
American residents Of this South
China port of Fukien Province we're
forced to scurry underground today
into bombproof dugouts for protec-
ton against shattering two-hour
raid of Japanese warplanes and war
ships.
American lives we're gravely en-
dangered, and the United States war
ship Asheville was caught in the
bombardment. Several bombs fell only
a short distance from the Asheville
and forced her officers and crew to
hurry below decks for refuge from
the hail of shrapnel.
Oil Plant Endangered.
Bombs and shells from the jap
anese planes and ships rained on
the army headquarters, police head
quarters, the airfield and the old
fort near the compound of the Amer
lean Socony-Vacuum Oil Co.
Two of the bombs crashed near the
Socony plant. Shrapnel showered the
compound, where many of the Amer
ican employees remained at their
posts. Miraculously, the flying chunks
of metal failed to strike either the
personnel or the tanks of inflam.
mable gasoline and oil.
The American colony had previously
prepared bombproof shelters against
such Japanese attack ON this popu-
lou5 city. At the first warning of the
raid they holed-in, safe against the
tWo-hour raid.
Scores of shells were fired from
Japanese cruisers and seven bombs
were counted being dropped by two
seaplanes.
Consulate Is Closed.
From Swatow, 100 miles south of
here in Kwantung Province, the Chi
nese toficiaD Central News Agency
reported two japanese bombers were
shot down and one damaged in a raid
on that port.
United States Ambassador Nelson
johnson today ordered the American
Consulate at Swatow closed and all
Americans evacuated.
His action was taken because of the
increasing danger from Japanese
bombardment Of the important South
China port.
The British steamer Fooshing was
reported to have been halted and
boarded by Japanese blockade patrol
on Annoy yesterday. After a short
delay and examination of her papers
the British vessel was said to have
been allowed to continue her voyage

Paris Drafts Plans
For NaUies' Patrol
In Mediterranean,

PARIS, September 9 (P.-French
foreign Office officials said tonight they
had received assurances that Britain
and two other powers are willing to
co-operated with France in a Mediter-
ranean warship patrol under orders to
sink submarine attackers"
The foreign Office hastily drafted
plans for the naval patrol which it
expected tomorrow's Mediterranean
''piracy conference" to adopt.
Prompted by Italo- Reich Action. :.
Refusal of Germany and Italy to
take part in the conference, to be held
in Switzerland, prompted formulation
of the plan.
Under the proposal an international
fleet, composed of British. French,
Turkish and Greek vessels, would sink
any submarine or warship attacking
neutral merchantmen.
British officials were known to be in
agreement with the plan. Greek and
Turkish assurance that their warships
would cooperate was received today.
Zones Planned Originally.
If Germany and Italy had decided
to attend the conference, France and
Britain would have asked for estab-
lishment of zones in which no SUBJ
marines could operate.
Since neither Germany nor Italy
plans to attend, Paris and London
agreed that punitive, rather than pre-
ventive, measures must be taken
against shipping attacks which have
grown out Of the Spanish civil war.
When the conference convenes to-
morrow a committee of naval experts
will be called upon to draft detailed
plans for the Mediterranean patrol
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden outlined Britain's position at a
