COLONY PROBLEM
IS BR|TA|N'S NEXT
Chamberlain on Vacation.
Parliament Returns
November |.
Py the Associated Press.

LONDON, Oct Prime Minister
Chamberlain headed today for vaca-
tion in Scotland, where he might
ponder the next Nazi challenge to
British diplomacy--demands for re-
turn Of former German colonies.
When members of Parliament yes
terday voted Endorsement of Mr..
Chamberlain's settlement with Adolf
Hitler, the situation returned to its
pre-crisis status except In Czecho-
slovakia, which vanished as an ally of
Britain, France and Russia.
Problems for Study.
Within the next rs days before
Parliament reconvenes on November !,
these problems will be studied:
l. Germany's demand that Britain
and others return colonies torn from
the Reich at the end of the World
War.
2. Italian Intervention in Spain,
which is holding up fulflllment of the
British-Italian friendship agreement.
8. Economic realignment of the
Danubian states, thrown into Ger
| many's trade orbit at the expense OF
Britain, France and Italy.
I. Economic and political adjust
ment of Czechoslovakia, which would
be lost to her former friends If Ger
many realizes Nazi hopes of customs
union with the dismembered republic.
5. Intensiflcation of Britains re-
armament, described during the war
scare crisis as inadequate to cope with
modern war.
British Resistance Question.
One unanswered question was
whether Britain would resist Ger
many's desire for colonial expansion
The extent to which Britain increases
her armaments was seen as factor
which might influence the decision.
The Prime Minister'S vacation was
interrupted before by the German
Czechoslovak crisis. Mr.. Chamberlain
was expected to stay in Scotland this
time as long as affairs did not demand
his presence in London. He will be
the guest Of the Earl of Home, at
Coldstream, Berwickshire.

Independent Labor Split.
Meanwhile, split grew in the four
man parliamentary representation of
the British Independent Labor party.
Two of its members, James Maxton
and j. McGovern, praised Mr.. Cham
berlain's Munich peace. Now the
other two members object. They
branded this action as "a fragrant
breach of party policy"
The National Council of the I. L. p.
issued an indignant statement:
1.-The National Council of the I. L. P
unanimously indorsed> the view that
British imperialism was prepared in
war or peace to defend its imperial
istic interests and betray its allies and
would not be concerned with any
workers and peasants involved. We
reafflrm this policy"

BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
FOLLOWING Munich tour-potDer
agreement to cede Sudetenland to
Germany, Adolf Hitler's troops haze
been occupying zones OF Czech ter
ritory since last Saturday. Chancel-
Tor Hitler has paid seUerdl UiSits to
his ne,D territory during occupd-
ton, being hailed Dith great en-
thusiasm by German population.
BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Oct Adolf Hitler was
slightly injured in the face today when
an overenthusiastic Sudetenlander
tossed a bouquet of flowers at the
Fuehrer, making triumphal tour Of
the fourth zone of occupation.
Dispatches from the Sudetenland
reporting the incident did not say
exactly where 1t occurred.
AS a result of the mishap the
Fuehrer issued a general order that
Nazi party leaders henceforth will be
held personally responsible for seeing
to it that flowers are taken away from
all persons along his line of march.
Even small bouquets in the hands Of
spectators must be seized.
The population also was admonished
strongly by broadcast to refrain from
saying it with flowers. Afternoon pa
pers published warnings against flower
throwing.
Visits Fourth Zone.
Hitler today visited the first part
of the fourth zone of occupation, on
the northern fringe of Central Czecho-
slovakia. The German Army marched
into this district yesterday and was to
complete occupation today.
Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm
Goering accompanied the Reichs-
fuehrer.
Authoritative reports said Hitler's
face was scratched when he was hit
squarely by big bunch of roses.
However, the injury was SO slight that
medical attention was not needed.
Government circles said that the
Fuehrer might make an important
announcement" on French German
relations Sunday at Saarbruecken, in
the Saar Valley.
Fear Peril to Eyes.
Concerning the rose-tossing Incl
dent, a government spokesman said
that the only reason for giving it pub
licity was the danger that the thorns
on the roses might easily have in
jured the Fuehrers eyes, with possible
loss of eyesight.
Hitler always looks the crowds
souarely in the face, wherefore any,
thing thrown at him is likely to hit
him in the eye," he said. ut was
fortunate that this time there were
only slight scratches on his face"
1t was explained further that the
government was glad to seize on this
occasion for stopping flower throwing
at the Fuehrer orce and for all.
"It is understandable, of course, that
the people in their great enthusiasm
try to give expression thereto by throw
ing flowers" the spokesman said. 1T
it hard, however, to make the people
realize that they might be endangering
the Fuehrer. But after this incident
they will understand why in future
flowers must be forbidden"
Will Travel to Saar.
From Sudetenland the Chancellor is
scheduled to make an overnight cross
country journey to the Saar territory,
