PARIS, Oct. 20 (N.A.N.A.). - The
next German demand, which France
feels sure will be the return of the
formers colonies, Is at present . sub
ject for deep anxiety In Paris. Vital
French interests in Africa are involved
in this question, and official circles
hold the opinion that, II ever the for
mer German CAMERON, now French,
Is given back to Berlin it will spell the
disintegration of Frances colonial set
up In the dark continent.
That the Nazis will next press the
colonial question seems to the French
a foregone conclusion. The HAM
burger Fremdenblatt fired the opening
shot OF the campaign. in typical Nazi
fashion. the day after the Munich pact,
saying that 1t was "intolerable to think
that Germany's colonizing mission
should be denied her through an act
Of force"
The answer Of Paris Is ready. What
ever may be the British attitude on
this subject, Frances government has
decided to oppose the colonial demands
OF the Fuehrer. The British thesis,
maintained by J. L. Garvin in the
London Observer-that France and
Britain should give Togoland and the
CAMERON back to Germany-is held
IN Paris to be totally unacceptable
Empire Security Jeopardized.
1t Is unacceptable simply because
such restitution would jeopardize the
security Of the whole French empire
IN Africa. These are the reasons why:
French Africa. from Algiers to the
banks of the Congo River, is a compact
block of coast and inland possessions
welded together by the immense Sa-
nara. The pacifcation of the hub of
tnls empire was not achieved until
April 28, 1901, when Sultan Rabah
was crushed at kusseri, south Of Lake
Chad. in the battle where the famous
French commandant, Lamy. found his
death. That day France took hold of
the Keystone OF all the imperial edifice
built by her explorers.
This Keystone would be immediately
endangered by German repossession of
the CAMERON. On the Lake Chad
region converge a number of caravan
routes and trails coming from the
north. south, east and west. With
France in control of this zone, the
natives have nothing to fear from
nomad plllagers or from Senussite
agltators from the near-Lybian Borku.
Wadai, Ennedi and Tibesti, three
regions in the military territory of the
Chad. bordering on the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan. have been living in
peace. Far from being impassable
deserts. they have become flourishing
markets, fed by great commercial
currents.

Such Is the position on the colonial

French public opinion is not yet
unanimous on the subject it is also
true that the number of Frenchmen
who upheld that position is growing
daily.

MARSEILLE, Oct. 29. Marseille
officials believed tonight more than
100 persons perished in a fire which
ravaged the business section yester-
day.
While firemen from Marseille and
II nearby municipalities still poured
water into the ruins, police head
quarters received reports on missing
persons, most of them said to have
worked in the Nouvelles Galleries de
Paris, department store where the
fire started.
The store was burned to the ground
and firemen said they found bodies
heaped at the bottom Of a stairway
which had collapsed The ruins of
the store and 10 other buildings were
searched for other bodies. "a
Thirty-five persons, many seriously
burned, were in hospitals. A pre-
liminary survey Of the property dam
age caused authorities to estimate the
loss at 60,000,000 francs (about ST.
620,cC0).
So far as could be determined the
fire started in wooden scaffolding on
the first floor of the department store
where workmen had been remodeling.
There were reports that a workman,
using blowtorch, had accidentally
ignited a can of gasoline
The Radical-Socialist Congress, in
session at the time of the fire, donated
100000 francs ($266O) for relief of

MUNICH PACT
Sees Nations Liberty Stand
as Real Issue in Their
Present Relations.
BY the Associated Press.

6E the hSSOClAteQ TIeSS.
Senator Borah, Republican. of Idaho
said yesterday the real issue in present
relations among nations is the ire
vocable difference between govern
ments which would destroy liberty and
governments which would preserve it."
Commenting on President Roosevelt's
recent speech warning that there
could be no peace extracted by force.
senator Borah said he interpreted this
as serving notice that the United States
did not consider itself responsible for
The terms and conditions Of the Munich
pact The Presidents speech was
broadcast last Wednesday night.
The Munich pact" the veteran
member of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tionS Committee told reporters, makes
the violation of treaties cardinal
tenet of modern diplomacy. The Mu-
mich pact makes the mere name Of
treaty byWord and kissing
Il do not know what the President
had in mind exactly, but like to think
that back of his words was the deter
mination to let it be known that, while
We urged the peaceful settlement Of
the Sudeten affair, We are not respon-
sible for the terms and conditions
finally entered into the Munich pact.
The President may also have
thought that this talk about the die
tators and democracieS lettering down
the highway of cordial friendship has
its limitations. So long as the attack
continues upon the most sacred things
Of life, upon those things without
which democracies can exist only in
name, there can be no such thing as
cordial relationship. And that ought
to be understood"

the first effect Of the transfer Of
the CAMERON to Germany would be to
give the latter control Of the easiest
route to the Chad area, which means
possession Of the key to the entire
French African empire. Defense Of
these territories would become almost
impossible, because reinforcements and
provisions could reach them only bt
way OF Brazzaville, on the Congo
River, necessitating journeys Of frone

owing to river trans-shipments, or

Italy in turn has never concealed
her ambition to make Lydia the

road. Tumuno, the southernmost
point in Lydia. is only 600 miles from
the Chad territory, a distance which
is covered by one of the oldest cara
van trails uniting the shore of the

lands. Inevitably, If France returned
the CAMERON to Germany, she would

COL0NYDEMANDS
T0BEFACED NEXT
Chamberlain Plan for New
Appeasement Step Is
Reported.
By the Associated Press.

By the ASSOCIATED FreeS.
LONDON, Oct. 29.-An attempt
to satisfy Germany's renewed colonial
demands was said tonight to be the
next step Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain plans for expanding the
framework of the month-old peace
of Munich after putting the Anglo
Italian Easter friendship pact into
force.
Gen. Franz Ritter Won Epp, Adolf
Hitlers deputy for colonial matters,
made it clear in a speech in Lade-
burg. Germany, that the initiative for
settling the colonial question lay with
the powers holding the territories
taken from Germany after the World
War. Great Britain and France are
the chief of these powers.
But the German, in asserting that
his country claimed all her former
colonies and compensation for those
she might not demand, repeated what
Hitler already has told Mr.. Chamber
lain-that the issue would not be
made a question Of war.
Parliament to Meet.
After a brief holiday following the
Munich peace OF a month ago, which
broke up Czechoslovakia, Mr.. Cham
berlain will face Parliament again
next week.
The legislators will reassemble
Tuesday for the last week OF the
present session. They were expected
to devote it to debating ramiflcations
Of foreign affairs.
Mr.. Chamberlain was believed to
be planning to announce on Wednes-
day that he plans to bring the Anglo
Italian pact for settling Spanish, Med
iterranean and other differences into
force. perhaps in mid-November, as
a result of the withdrawal Of Italy's
forces from the Spanish insurgent
armies.
(The British government has al
ready notified Italy that the pact
will come into force November Is,
the Chicago Daily News reported
yesterday from London.)
Will Charge Unpreparedness.
The opposition in the House of Com
mons plans to attack the govern
ment for unpreparedness for war dis
closed during the crisis over Czechoslo-
Vakia.
Mr. Chamberlain in answering may
show how the rearmament program
is to be speeded up and whether any
new cabinet ministries are planned
for this purpose
After the closing of the present ses-
sion and the opening of new one on
November 8. Mr. Chamberlain is ex-
pected to plunge actively into the colo
nial problem.
PROV Arrives This Week.
The arrival here early next week of
Defense Minister Oscar Prov of the
Union OF South Africa after talks with
Portuguese officials, will give impetus
to colonial considerations.
His plans to visit Belgium also be-
fore going to Germany were seen as
significant in view of reports Britain
might seek to make a deal for Angola,
Portuguese West Africa, and part of
the Belgian Congo to give Germany in
place of the African colonies taken
from her after the war.
