Mr.. Wilson's plane arrived this
morning while Mr.. Carr, who has been

was to be back in town by lunch time.
Importance Seen in Visit.
Naturally, the two veteran diplomats
are expected to exchange views on the
delicate Sudeten German dispute. In
deed, many observers attach unusual
Importance to this visit as q gesture
on the part of the United States with
regard to the German-Czech situa-
ton.
Meanwhile Lord Runciman has
started his negotiations here At II
o'clock this forenoon he called on
Foreign Minister Kamil Krofta and
20 minutes later was received by
Premier Milan Hodza. At noon he
paid a visit to Dr. Eduard Benes,
President of the republic, with whom
he conferred at lunch.
1t is noted that upon his arrival at
Wilson Station yesterday Lord Run
Gilman was welcomed not only by gov
ernment representatives.. but also by
Ernst Kundt and DR.. Wilhelm Sebe-
kovsky, two leaders of the Sudeten
Germans. This latter circumstance,
it Is intimated. occurred at the sug-
gestiOn OF the British Legation.
New Deadlock Reached.
A new deadlock has been reached
In the negotiations between the Czech
government and the Spdeten Ger
mans, who consider three laws In the
proposed new minority statute In
sufficient to satisfy their demands for
self government.
Government officials point out that
these proposed laws must be consid-
cred as part of the framework within
which. coupled with the German
memorandum of June 7, q compromise
is possible.

HOPE FOR PEACE REMAINS.
Two Grounds Are Discovered for
Optimistic Feeling.

Optimistic Feeling.
MOSCOW. Aug 4 LD-Hope that
the Changkufeng incident on the
Siberian-Manchuku frontier might
yet be prevented from developing into
a ma ior conflict between Russia and
Japan was seen today on two grounds.
They were:
l. Mamoru Shigemitsu. japanese
Ambassador to the Soviet Union visited
Maxim Lityinoff, Russian commissar
Of foreign affairs, for the first time
since their stormy interview, July 20.
2. Fighting on the Chankufeng
front failed to spread to any other
points on the long Siberian Manchu-
kuoan frontier.
Experienced observers hesitated to
attach too much significance to
either Of these factors until the out
come Of the talk between Shigemitsu
and Litvinon was known.
Prelude to Heavier Action.
Their conference July 20 turned. out
to be prelude to heavier military
action in the Far East.
But, on the other hand. the mere
fact they. had resumed conservations
after two weeks Of gathering war
clouds was interpreted in some quar-
ters as q good sign.
Isolation Of incidents on the poorly
defined frontier to the one sector was
regarded also as a good omen in some
Soviet circles-but only as long as it
lasts.
A continuation Of the fighting, they
said, would be enough in itself to lead
to very serious consequences" that
were mentioned in q recent COM
munique.
Demand Vigorous Action.
Hundreds of thousands of Russians
signed resolutions calling for vigorous
action against Fascist aggressors" In
the border clashes.
Soviet newspapers printed no news
about the Far Eastern battle front,
but devoted whole pages to workers
resolutions pledging 1.-The loyal sup
port of the whole population"
Many mass meetings were conduct
ed, one Of the biggest OF which was
at the Stain automobile factory In
Moscow, where workers adopted
resolution, Let the japanese mill
tarists know We are ready to rush to
the defense of our country"

DENY WILSON TRIP
LINK TO SUDETENS.
State Department Officials
Say U. S. Envoy Merely
Visits Colleagues.
By CONSTANTINE BROWN.


The State Department stated Of.
hcially today that there is no con-
nection between Ambassador Hugh
Wilson's visit to Praha and Lord
Runcimans mission to mediate be-
tween the Czechoslovakian government
and the Sudeten German.
Our Ambassador to Germany. it
was stated, went to Warsaw and, to
Praha to visit his colleagues stationed
IN those capitals. There is no more
significance in that visit, 1t was stated,
than in Ambassador William Bullitt's
recent visit to Ireland. Our diplo-
matte officers keep in close touch with
each other and visit different capitals
as frequently as their duties permit.
Mr.. Wilson'S visit had been planned
some time ago. before the British
cabinet had decided to appoint Lord
Runciman as technical observer
In the Central European dispute. A
postponement of Mr.. Wilson's visit
would have created as many COM
ments as his visit with Minister
Wilbur Carr; hence the Ambassador
to Berlin decided not to postpone a
trip which had been decided several
weeks ago.
Skeptical Of Explanation.
This official explanation Is being re-
ceived with certain amount of skep-
Al i,, dinlNYSn q ir
quarters in Washington and abroad.
Az a rule, it is said, Ambassadors sell
dom leave their posts while there is a
crisis; Furthermore, it is unusual that
q chief of mission representing Wash
ineton in capital should choose a
moment of tension to visit his col
league in other capitals. That is so
much more true in the present case.
Czechoslovakia and Germany are at
loggerheads. There must be something
more than the desire of Mr.. Wilson to
shake hands with Minister Carr that
brought the Berlin Ambassador to the
C1echoslovakian capital.
Mr.. Wilson enjoys the confidence OF
the German foreign Office to a greater
degree than most o. his colleagues in
Berlin. He is a career diplomat who
knows the ropes and is known to have
been in close contact with Foreign
Secretary Baron Won Ribbentrop. 1t
Is also known In diplomatic quarters
that President Benes and Foreign
Secretary Krofta have unofficially ex-
pressed their unbounded confidence in
Americas fairness in international
matters.
U. s. Seen Aiming to Help.
Consequently, diplomats here and
abroad construe Mr.. wilson's visit to
Fraha as an indication that the United
States Government is endeavoring to
be helpful in the present crisis In an
entirely unofficial way.
Secretary Hull has repeatedly stated
that the main purpose Of this country
is to help restore peace and confidence
throughout the globe. American dip
lomats have endeavored informally to
bring about an end OF the Chinese
Japanese hostilities In the first few
months of the conflict. Hence, 1t would
Be in keeping with this policy, OBJ
servers say. if Mr. Wilson attempted
'on his own" to lend q helping hand
to those who are endeavoring to settle
peacefully the minorities problem in
CZechsolovakia.

AS Christmas draws near, my
thoughts go far over the land to
boys and girls, men and women, who
have written to me. 1 wish 1t were
possible to mail a Christmas card
to each and every one of the many
thousands who have sent me letters
during the past year.
Since I cannot do that, am going
. to let this little article serve as
Christmas card, merry Christmas
greeting. I wish to send the greet
ing not only to those who have writ
ten to me but also to all other
readers.
Christmas is the most popular fes-
tival of the year, and in our hemi-
sphere 1t comes at time when we'
need good cheer. This is the period
Of little daylight and much darkness
The farther north we go the less
daylight there is. Texas, Louisiana
and several other Southern States
have an hour more daylight than
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana or Illi-
s.nois. 4
The people of Southern Canad
Evening star., 1938-12-24

have more daylight than those Of
Northern Canada.
If you want to find place where
the days are really short, just go
to Norway or to Iceland! In Ice
land the people celebrate Christ
mas Day with only four hours Of
daylight in 1t.
Have you noticed that the days
are getting longer now? Probably
not, for the gain in daylight is very
small, less than a minute a day
during this period. Yet the turn
has come, and the shortest day of
the year is past. Each day in the
Northern Hemisphere will have a
little more daylight in 1t for the next
half year.
The gain of daylight will be about
two and a half minutes each day
during February in Southern Canada
and in northern parts of the United
States. In Northern California and
in Florida the gain will not be so
great, but will amount to more than
three-quarters of an hour from the
beginning of February to the endC

.Merry Christmas

So we know we are headed toward
longer days even though the sun
sets early on Christmas. That is one
reason to be happy, but there is an
other of great importance. Christ
mas brings out a kindly spirit. There
are some, to be sure, who think
mainly of what they are going to
get" for Christmas, but there are
ever so many who think Of what
they can give, of the Joy they may
spread to other lives.
The true spirit of Christmas, the
spirit of giving, makes the holiday
brighten the world. So far as we
take part In that spirit, we find
the real meaning of the words,
