Czechoslovakia took drastic meas ures to curb disorders which have again suddenly flared today and caused a renewal of intensified European war fears.
 Martial law has been imposed in eight German Sudeten districts where the Nazis hailed Hitler's speech at Nurnberg, while staying fears for at least "A hours, as defiant to the world unless de- mands for Sudeten Germans are granted.
 Tanks were ordered out during the night and sent to Eger. less than 10 miles from the German border
 In Berlin, the Nazi spokesman called the action of the Czechs "as an outright provocation" in the face of Hitler's warning that he will mot look idly on con- tinuance of oppression of German nationals in Czechoslovakia."
 
 The Prague Government took the steps of martial law to guard against further incidents. The stern measure forbids parades by Sude- ten ermans and freedom of speech is limited.
 France renews her pledge to de- fend Czechosloyakia against invaS- ion and has accelerated her border preparations. France today placed a ban on exportation of iron. cot ton and many other products val uable to national defense.

American Rearmament
Cincinnati Enquirer

There are two dangers in connection with the
rather sudden acceleration Of rearmament in this
country. One is the possibility of hysterlcal arms
procurement being used weapon to increase Fed
eral revenues. Already the proposal has been made
to levy special tax for the purpose. The other
danger of a fatefu decision to meet the long impll-
cations of the Munich pact by larger armament
without any revision of foreign policy
Any drastic change in our defense policy ought
to come from Congress after proper elaboration and
in the light of actual defense needs not political
device to justify a heavier tax burden and new
aggravation of Federal expenditure.
From the events in Europe of recent weeks, it is
plain that the United States must reconsider its for
egn policy and its national defense The moment the
British and French Governments decided to submit
to Hitlers demands they created new problem Tor
America Their decision meant gradual lessening
of Briain's power in world affairs, which in turn
means measure of retreat in the Far East and less
support the Monroe Doctrine it involves British
naval policy in the Atlantic.
We have policy in China which Japan is openly
challenging 1t is policy cannot maintain any
longer unless Cd willing to risk war against
Japan or 90 we are willing and able to arrange
common action with France, England, and Russia.
Merely rearming will not solve this problem for us.
The same is true to less degree with Latin America
Our defense program must be planned in conjunction
with a revised and more vigorous foreign policy.

REDEDICATING OURSELVES TO
AMERICAN PRINCIPLES

Some l6 or II national organizations, headed by
the Boy Scouts of America have organized a move
ment called National Rededication in which they re-
dedicate themselves to the principles OF American
liberty declaring their devotion to those principles
their faith in them and their determination that
they shall be preserved
All sound Americans pledge themselves to such
a code: accept it without thinking much about it,
Thus the question naturally arises to how these
organizations are going to rededcate themselves to
the things which have made this country great One
of the best essays on the movement believe, has
been written by Hermann Hagedon American patriot
poet and author in Boys Life under the heading

meetings the right to address request to the gov
eminent the right to property, security against
high-handed officials just treatment under the law,
trial by jury.
When we have clear picture of our rights and
privileges it is well think about obligations.
For, you see your right and mine doesn't mean much
unless other people feel the obligation to respect
them and their right for instance to speak their
opinions. doesn't much unless you and l and
people like us feel obliged let them talk though
