current display of military
strength. France today cancelled
army and air force leaves,
rushed new reinforcements to her

public on a virtual war footing.

'IneUit0ble Precaution"
Army leaves have been cancelled
and reservists called UP. the
statement said, Gin consequence
of important measures of rein

"The government has been

All French army officers and
soldiers on leave from frontier

bilized army Of 5000 men were
stationed in similar fashion across
the Rhine on the Siegfried Line.
MOUe in Secrecy
All of these moves were -ade
behind a screen of official secrecy
and were believed to have been
virtually completed before the gov
ernment of Premier Edouard
Daladier made them officially
known to the world.
Throughout oficialdom, the ex-
PLANTATION was forced upon in

purely precautionary ones" This
explanation, however, could not

Quotes Lord Bryce

The President quoted Lord Bryce
on the duty Of a great political
party to face issues honestly and
then he declared:
"The Democratic party has al.
ways been a party of ideas
rather than money the Demo
cratic party will live and con-
tinue to receive the support of
the majority of Americans Just
SO long as it remains a liberal
party. AS President Of that
party, I propose to try to keep
it liberal. AS President of the
United States, I conceive that
course to be in the best inter-
estS, not of Democrats alone but
also of those millions of Amer.
1can men and women who are
atfliated with other parties, or
with no party at all. And I
have the right in sincerity and
honesty to make that state
ment in any State, in any county
and in any community of the
United States of America"
Praises LeuUis
The President utilized Repre-.
sentative Lewis, legislative pro-
gram to illustrate some of the
high spots in the liberal legis-
lative program of the past quar-
ter of a century. He mentioned
the Workmen'S compensation law,
the old age pension and insurance
laws and the parcel post act, and
without mentioning Mr.. Lewis by
name. he declared:
1T is the privilege of some
OF us to dream dreams. and
some of us to carry out the
dreams Of others. But in Mary.
land, you are fortunate in hav-
ing a man who not only has
seen visions but has lived to
make his dreams come true"
Urges All Vote
The President urged all who
have the right to participate in
the coming primary to 60 to the
polls and make their own choice,
and in conclusion, the President
declared that when he first took
office. he found a disorganized
country; that he had tried to
bring all groups and factions to-
gether, and said:
"A big part of my duty as
President has been to do what 1
could to bring our people to-
gether again In this effort to
preserve our democracy and our
union, I am confident that all
who labor in field, and in
factory, will carry on the good

GREET HITLER;

Congress Opens at
Nuremberg
By PIERRE J. HUSS

NUREMBERG, Germany, Sept.
IS Q.N.S0-Supreme dictator Of
rs, ,O0O,0O people and custodian of
the future Of Europe with regard
to peace or war, Reichsfuehrer
Hitler came to a wildly cheering
Nuremberg today to open the an
nual Nazi party congress.
Nearly a million ardent Nazis
jammed this ancient city. only so
miles from the Czechoslovakian
frontier, to see whether he will
alleviate or heighten the danger
laden central European crisis.
Fatal Step Feared
Many of the diplomats and for.
eign observers in the mighty
throng feared Hitler would be
swayed by the enthusiasm of the
gathering and the magnitude OF
its accompanying displays Of man
power and take that step which
would plunge all Europe into war.
Others hoped Hitler would be
ruled by the counsel of Britain
and France, and would eschew any
warlike act or words in the six
speeches he is scheduled to make.
This years Nazi party congress
at Nuremberg, because it is the
first following the annexation Of
Austria, is the greatest and posi-
BILE the most emotional Of the 10
so far held.
Triumphant Entry
Today's main event is the tri-
umphant entry Of Hitler, who will
ride slowly through the medieval
city to the accompaniment of heils
from visitors who have swelled
Nuremberg'S normal population of
45O, 900 to thrice that.
Hitler will make no utterance
before tomorrow, when his inau-
gural proclamation will be read by
Adolf Wagner, Nazi leader for
Bavaria. But thereafter there will
be a plethora of speeches by the
Fuehrer and other Nazi person

Ickes will do if DR.. Eckener de-
cides to close up the German
Zeppelin Company, sell the
equipment, go out of business
because he cannot get the
heliurn.
British and Dutch interests
under Lord Ventry for the Brit
ish and steamship interests for
the Dutch-have long wanted a
Zeppelin for commercial service,
but they could not afford to pay
the price.
The Dutch and the British
might find the LZ-130 for sale
at a bargain price.
Assume that a friendly ma
ton like England or Holland
should buy the ship and then
come to the United States and
buy the helium to fly it.
What would Harold (Hora-
tius) Ickes have to say then as
to price and sale requirements?
Having once lacked up the
prices to the German group,
hardly could he lower the prices
just because some one else asked
for the same helium that he had
denied previously for the same
airShip. 1ckes may yet find his
noble stand on helium boom

The answer would be for the
United States to buy the LZ-13O

ton Of property in that fashion

American business methods in
the eyes of the world but Harold

matter like ethics worry him!

not want to say much, because
they consider any kind of an
agreement all to the good these
days, but their studied inside
opinion can be summed up like
this:
The agreement is likely to
lead to Anglo-Italian difficulties
rather than peace in the end,
because 1t is not founded on
facts. For instance, Mussolini's
promise to withdraw Italian gar
rtSons from Spain when Franco
wins does not mean what it i'm.
plies. It gives no assurance
whatever of a hands-off policy,
as claimed. .'
Everybody knows Franco Is
going to do what MusSolini tells
him, now and later. If Britain
does not develop resentment over
MuSsolini's further interpreta-
ton of his relations with Franco,
authorities here will be sur.
prised. .,-.-
Similarly, Italy's guarantee
that Mare Nostrum will remain
open at both ends cannot mean
what 1t is supposed to mean
because it does not alter. Mus.
Solini's ambitions.
He intends to dominate the
Mediterranean just as he in
tends to dominate Spain, be-
cause his LIES blood is pledged
to rebuilding the Roman Empire
there.
