Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, in a speech to Nazis, had said openly that Germany would take direct ac- tion in any further incidents with loyalist Spain, and had admitted frankly that Germany wanted a nationalist victory so that it could obtain ores. Colleen. Hermann Goering, Hitler's right hand man, had said to a world business con- gress today that Germany would keep going after colonial territories until it got them.
 In apparent response to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's plea for calm Hitler had said:
 Speeches in parliaments or talk of statesmen in future will not be- fuddle us"
 Britain Preparing
 With this background, the govern ment made ready for 8 meeting to- morrow of the international non-in- termention committee, and the little fleet left the southwest coast for its maneuvers.

 New York, June 28-(UP) Irwin, who killed three persons because of his passion and hate for a fourth, demanded and obtained a conference with a psychi- atrist today before he dic- tated a new confession to the police. The 29-year-old for mer insant asylum inmate was arraigned and held without bail pending a preliminary hearing on Thursday. Samuel Liebowitz, who has defended many killers, appeared as his counsel and indicated the defense would be plea of insanity. It developed that Irwin had tele- graphed Liebowitz from Chicago yesterday and asked him to take the case. Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine said he was delighted" with the sculptor's new confession of the staying of Veronica Gedeon, artists model, her mother, Mrs. Mary Gedeon, and lodger at the Gedeon home, Frank Byrnes.
 Real Victim Escaped

International Chamber of Com merce, said to be the greatest gath ering of world business leaders ever assembled-1,600 delegates from 40 nations. Col. Gen. Hermann Goer- ing, air minister, economic dictator and right hand man of Futhrer Adolf Hitler, in opening the congress, said bluntly: You may be sure Ger many will continue to bring up the colonial problem until its urgent and legitimate desires as regards colonies are fulfilled" He made bid, too, for a system of trade treaties that would transcend political considera- tions and defeat such moves as the League of Nations effort to penalize Italy for its war on Ethiopia.
 Dr. Schacht Backs Him
 Dr. Hjalmar Schacht president of the Reichsbank and minister of econ- omics, backed up Goering with speech to the congress in which he said:
 ''The way to eliminate economic nationalism is to secure to each na- tion its food and employment by means of honest money and honest division of raw materials. Then you will automatically put an end to economic nationalism and all so- called autarchic endeavors.
 T urge you to consider whether 1t is really service to peace to make it possible to open or close great sources of raw materials to any par ticular nation for purely political seasons"
 Hitler In Real Keynote
 But the real keynote, insofar as 1t concerned German world policy. was sounded by Hitler in a speech at a Nazi party convention at Wuerzburg yesterday. Denouncing alike an al- legged Spanish Loyalist attack on the German cruiser Leipzig and British French refused to join in a naval
