PEACE HANGS
IN BALANCE
ASNAzlS MEET
Germans Want All Czechs
Out of the German
Sudeten Area
SEPT. IL MAY BE
DEADLINE OF ACTION
By EDWARD w. BEATTIE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NUREMBERG, Germany, Sept.
! 5. (UP) - Dcafcning "Hcils"
from tens of thousands of nazis
last night greeted Konrad Hen
LENS Sudctcn followers from
Czcchoslovakia as they arrived to
Join 100000 Nazi StalwartS for
the annual Nazi party congress,
opening here today.
To this turrctcd old citadel, its
red roofs and gables obscured by
bunting and fluttering SwaStikas,
the whole world looked for Reichs-
fuchrcr Adolf Hitlcr's answer that
may point the way to peace or
war in Europe.
The sixth annual congress, be-
fore which Der Fuehrer will speak
several times, has been dedicated
to Hitler's gross Deutschland
his bold annexation of Austria
but the arrival last night of the
Sudctcn Germans in special buses
from the Czech border only gu
miles away made it clear that the
big topic will be Czechoslovakia.
Whatever Hitler's plans may be
in regard to the Czech minority
crisis-furthe negotiations, an
ultimatum or perhaps compro-
mise-will not be known until at
least after Tuesday when District
Leader Adolf Wagner of Bavaria
issues the Fuehrer's proclamation.
Many Nazi leaders believed that
: Hitler would keep the world at its
pitch of "war jitters" for another
week and might not discuss his
ambitions regarding Czechoslo-
vakia until his last speech to the
"Parteitag" at the closing session
on Monday, September ~.
That would be only three days
before the date that has come to
be generally accepted as the
"deadline" for a peaceful compro-
mise between the Prague govern
ment and the 100000 members
of the German minority. Great
Britain has promised that, if the
minority deadlock is not broken
by mid-September, she will put
forward a plan of arbitration.
Hitler will arrive this afternoon
for the welcoming ceremony at
the Nuremberg city hall and the
Nazis that thronged cafes and
beer halls last night also eagerly
awaited the arrival Of Henlein,
the "Czechoslovak Hitler"
Henlein, whose presence here
will emphasize the third Reich's
support Of the Sudeten autonomy
demands, is expected to attend at
least a portion of the program.
The congress will get underway
today when the propaganda min
istry holds it's annual reception to
the foreign press.
Nuremberg's bells later will
peal and Hitler will ceremonious-
ly proclaim the rally in session at
the great hall or Pathaus. There
will be festival performance Of
Die Meistersinger Won Nurem-
berg" at the opera house in the
evening.

To Defend Near East Interests, Now
Is Menace OF Rising Nationaism

ing the World war in the Arabic
revolt against Turkey, fomented
largely by the late Col. T. f. Law
renee, and led to establishment of
the various postwar Arab states.
Again in 1921, at the middle
eastern conference which Britain
held in Cairo and Jerusalem, a
definite line of policy was resolved
towards the Arabs. 1t was decld-
ed to promote Arab nationalism
and the Pan-Arab movement on
the grounds of expediency; name
ly, that if such a movement were
not created and supported in Brit
ish interests, some other power
might do this in their own inter
ests.
The British permitted the growth
of Pan-Arabism in the Holy Land
to help keep the Zionists in check,
but Pan-Arab leaders throughout
Arab countries used this license
for their own purpose Of building
up an anti-British, anti-imperialist
movement actually by permission
of the British.

GUAR RANTEE

of the University of Chicago's
Round Table broadcast, Sunday,

of the fact that all of his fellow
debaters pronounced guarantee"
correctly, one of the participants
persisted in saying guarantee"
which is just about as right as
saying "whar" for "where" and
"bar" for "bear." Somebody has
said that if you want to learn the
English language, don't go to the
average American school.
But you would have thought
that in the course of the thirty
minute debate, that chap would
have caught on that there was
something wrong with the way he
pronounced guarantee. Or pei
