Stern Demand
By Hungary
Given Czechs

Budapest, Hungary, Oct. 27.-(APt
The Hungarian cabinet decided to-
day to send new note to Czechoslo-
kia on Hungary's territorial claims.
and observers predicted the message
would be served in its terms.
It was believed the cabinet, which
met to consider Prague's acceptance
of the Hungarian plan to let Germany
and Italy mediate their territorial
dispute would demand occupation of
undisputed areas in Slovakia at once.
Such occupation would be by easy
stages.
Authoritative sources had said the
ministers would act quickly to induce
the Nazi and Fascist powers to press
Czechoslovakia to withdraw her
troops and permit Hungarian soldiers
to enter the areas in question.
Czechoslovak acceptance of the
principle of arbitration was made
known last night in a reply to Hun
garian proposals of Monday.

JAPAN TAKING HER TIME
IN SENDING HER ANSWER

Tokyo, Oct. 27.-(AP) United
States note demanding that "unwar-
ranted interference" with American
rights in China be stopped, will not
be published in Japan. The note was
delivered to the Japanese government
by United States Ambassador Joseph
Grew October 6, but was divulged in
Washington only today.
Although the note specifically re-
quested prompt reply, the Japanese
Foreign Office said no definite date
for answering it had been set.
Sources close to the government
disclosed that Japan would take a
determined stand in negotiating
with foreign powers over rights and
privileges they have enjoyed in China.
Informed Japanese, referring to the
prospect of negotiations with third
powers after peace has been restored,
declared that foreign concessions and
settlements in Shanghai, Canton,
Hankow and Tientsin would be OF
particular concern.

Marseilles, France, Oct. 27.-(AP)-
Premier .Daladier today told the con-
gress of his own Radical Socialist
party that he believed Germany and
France would come to an understand

Addressing a packed auditorium,
the premier declared that there "are
powerful reasons for mutual esteem

to reach an agreement with Germany
Declaring that French policy would
correspond to the elements of the
new situation" in Europe, Daladier let
it be understood that the government
would seek a greater outlet for the
nations energy. in its colonial empire,
rather than dispute continental lead

He also asserted his belief that
France would find an entente with

vinced that if each side thinks only
of the sole defense of it's national in

will bring the most useful contribu-

"When I heard the heart of the
German people beat at Munich I could
not help thinking, just as 1 thought
at Verdun in the middle of the war,
that there are powerful reasons for
mutual esteem between the people of
France and Germany in spite of all
the difficulties, and they must lead to
loyal collaboration
Before he went to the rostrum
Daladier told the government com

Intensive
Democratic
Drive Is0n
Particular Attention
To Be Paid to Eighth,
enth, Eleventh Dis
tricts

Raleigh, Oct. 27.-Leadersa of the
State Democratic campaign, their
minds finally relieved of the worry
from an unended eighth district con-
gressional row, are planning an ac-
tive and vigorous drive right down
the election home stretch and until
the finish line is crossed with the vot-
ing of November 8.
There apparently is no real anxiety
over any Statewide candidate with
the election of all Democratic can
didates regarded as already assured.
However, State Chairman Gregg
Cherry and his associates are not let
ting up in their efforts in behalf Of
United States Senator Robert r. Rey-
nolds and other members of the State
ticket, although they are admittedly
concentrating their most intense fire
on the few doubtful spots in the State.
The eighth is sure to get a lot of
attention. Already a district rally has
been called for Sanford on Tuesday,
November /, and many of the biggest
oratorical guns of the party will go
into action on that occasion.
An analysis of the districts vote for
the past twenty years gives the Dem
ocrats confidence they will win de-
spite the effects of the long congress
Sonal contest I'm
The party leaders are also keeping
wary eyes on the tenth and eleventh
districts, where G. 0. p. candidates
have been known, on OCCASION to win
or come too close to winning for com
fort on the part of the unterrified
Democracy.
Senator Reynolds speaking dates
have been announced and it is signi
ficant that all are for the West. They
are: Thomasville, Oct. 81; Salisbury
Nov. 1; Bryson City, Nov. 2; Char
lotte, Nov. 8; Statesville and Smith

Government t h er e
Says No Date For Re-

Though Early Answer
Was Requested

Washington, Oct. 27.-(AP)
The United States govern
mcnt has told Japan, in a strong
ly worded note, to stop ''unwar-
rarted interference" with Anne
rican rights in China.
The 3,O00-word statement,
presented by Ambassador
Joseph Grew in Tokyo October
6, but made public only today,
demanded continuance Of the
"open door" policy in the Orient.
Ee'ations Nav Be Strained.
An carly reply was requested. The
unofficial interpretation here was that
if favorable answer did not ar
rive soon. relations between the two
countries would become strained. The
United States accused Japan of seek
ing to make another Manchoukuo out
of the portions of China she has oc-
cupied, and listed a long series of
violations of American business and
property rights.
The note charged Japan with try
ing to monopolize all trade in China
through setting up pseudo-Chinese
monopolies; with manipulating the
currency in North China, with alter
ing the tariffs; with keeping Amer
lean business men from their pro
perties; with censoring and interior
ing with American mail and kilograms
