UNIVERSITY, va, July 5
U.N.S.)-The New York World
Fair, opening next year, will be an
instrument Of peace, in that it will
bring the peoples of the world to-
gether in mutual admiration for
respective products, accomplish
ments and hopes.
That was the message from E. F.
Roosevelt, Latin-American commits
sioner and assistant director Of
the fair corporation, to the Insti-
tute Of Public Affairs today.
Pointing out that the directors
Of the fair have worked to make it
more than just a midway and
temporary amusement, Roosevelt
told the meeting it will do the
world service that will long be
remembered.
81 ON ROSTER
ALREADY 54 nations and the
League of Nations are on the
roster" he said. "Twenty.four
foreign countries and the
League of Nations are even now
planning to erect their own
buildings at the fair. In addi-
ton, the nations of the world
are taking space in the great
Hall of Nations which is being
constructed by our Federal Gov
ernment.

and the ideas Of the world will
be on display at the New York
World Fair.
Declaring Great Britain's attl-
tude toward Central European af-
fairs is "stiffening," John w.
Wheeler-Bennett, of the Royal In

today warned that should Ger
many continue her aggressive tao
tics she may force England to
arms.
Wheeler Bennett cast a gloomy
picture of conditions in Europe
and declared peace or war rests
with Germany.
PRIME FACTOR
The prime factor now shaping
Great Britain's foreign policy is
gu n ert a inty surrounding Ger
many's intentions, present and fu-
ture," he declared. The "uncer-
tainty'' has been brought about by
the third Reich's Unsuitable ac-
quisitiveneSs and wanton disregard
for legal obligations" Wheeler
Bennett said.
"As result" he added, ut is
believed in many influential
quarters that if concessions are
made to Germany they will be
regarded as indications of weak
ness, and will increase rather
than appease the German urge
Tor expansion.
IF Germany allows this i'm
preston to obtain; if she per-

remain no alternative for Great
Britain than to rely upon her re-

emerge from a most strained

CZECH BALLOT.
REVEALS SPLIT
N 0 RE CLEARLY.
BY GEORGE LANGwEM

PRAGUE, May 80 QN.S.)-Di-
vision Of Czechoslovakia into two
nationalistic parts was more clear
ly indicated than ever before to-
day as ballots were counted in mu-
nicipal elections.
Sudeten Germans, in their own
border districts. polled better than
80 per cent of the votes. But in the
Czech regions the government
party, formerly headed by Presi-
dent Edouard Benes, was strong
er than ever.
FOUR ARE INJURED
Czech soldiers patrolled the en-
tire Sudeten zone along the west
ern frontiers of Czechoslovakia.
and only one disturbance was re-
corded.
One Sudeten adherent was
wounded badly and three others
were hurt In a struggle involving
Sudetens and German socialists
at Gutenberg.
Seventy-five persons were tenn
porarily detained.
TROOPS ON BORDER
Four hundred thousand Czech
troops remained on the German
frontier during the elections.
While the Sudetefl party was
easily victorious in the local cleo
tons, it made no significant gain
over the combined total including
the two smaller parties which
recently united with the su6etens.
Local councils in SO Germanic
communities gave the Sudetens
1897 seats, compared to the anti
Nazi German Socialists 1856.
. COMMUNISTS GAIN
In almost all sections the Com
munists gained, which reflects
confidence in the Czech Russian
French security pact.
The German Communists won
100 seats in the local elections.
The German Democrats took only
two, and even in the Germanic|
sections the United Czech parties
won 259 seats.
Since the last previous election,
two minor parties have united
with the Sudeten Germans. So.
in Gablonz, the Bohemian glass
center, the SudetenS acquired 49,
SIT votes, compared to 1879
three years ago.
