Jordan Of New Zealand opened the
10th session Of the League Of Nations
Assembly with . warning that even
those countries that may appear to
be most remote" may not be neutral
in the next war.
The warning of the New Zealand
delegate, president Of the League
Council, came in the midst Of the
Czechoslovak- German crisis.
Before the Assembly met the Ieague'a 4
battle Of sanctions was brought to
an end when the Scandinavian coun-

materially the Leagues punitive ma
chinery, leaving it q potent weapon
in the event Of q general European
: war.

valid votes. Five votes were re-
corded as unknown" De Valera took
the chair Immediately.
May we find this Assembly closed
with the immediate dangers of war
past" he said in q brief acceptance
speech. May We seek that equitable
agreement which is sometimes possible
before but hardly ever after a war"
Mr.. Jordan did not name specific
countries he warned might be in
volved in the next war, but many
in League circles expressed belief he
meant the, United Stats as well as
British dominions.

PARIS, Sept. 12-France's cabinet
sat with Premier Edouard Daladier
today, reviewing the nations prepara-
tions, and planning further prepara-
tions in the event of menacing turn
in the critical Central European situa-
ton.
An open telephone line connected
the Premier'S ONCE with No. II
Downing street, London. M. Daladier
and British Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain were said to have con-
versed frequently while their nations
tensely awaited Reichsfuehrer Adolf
Hitler's pronouncement tonight OF
German foreign policy.
Crowds Throng Bulletin Boards.
In Paris and throughout France
crowds gathered before news bulletin
boards, anxiously watching latest re-
ports from Nurnberg. Germany, where
Hitler was to address Nad party
rally. Many Parisians abandoned work
to gather on street corners and cafe
terraces.
While the ministers were closeted
in the war ministry offices-Premier
Daladier. is also war minister Of his
national defense" cabinet-French
fighting forces were keyed to their
highest pitch Of efficiency.
An estimated 2,ooo,o0o men, 1000
fighting planes and 200 ships OF
Frances fighting fleets were in
readiness.
Air Of Sharp Tension.
An atmosphere of sharp tension
spread through the capital despite
officials assurances that whatever
Hitler's speech portended, many days
might pass before any decisive steps
were taken.
United States Ambassador William
c. Bullitt y conferred with Foreign
Minister Georges Bonnet.
After the o-and-one- half hour
meeting, the cabinet issued this COM
munique:
1.-The cabinet examined recent
diplomatic documents and external
political events which were related by
NJ Bonnet. The cabinet paid homage
to the nations patriotism, to its calm
and to its sang froid (coolness). 1t also
received expressions Of fidelity to
France from North Africa and the
entire colonial empire. This worthy
and sensible attitude Of the nation is
particularly useful for the defense OF
peace"
M. Bonnet returned from League o.
Nations meetings at Geneva and hi
conversations were expected to fur.
nish much Of the review before ths
cabinet.
Besides Mr.. Bullitt, the foreign min
lister also saw Stephen Osusky, Czecho'

slovak Minister to Paris, and Belgian
Ambassador lie Teller.
The tension slowed trading on the
Bourse. Almost all government bonds
dropped and most bank stocks either
lost slightly or were inactive.
The franc slipped OF 37.l2 to the
dollar during the morning in COM
parison with Fridays close at 36 .96.
The closing quotation, however, was
3703.
Financial sources said that they, like
government of1cials. were waiting to
hear what Hitler said at Nurnberg.
Doing All for Peace.
The French position was simply:
We are doing all we can to preserve
peace; We are ready for war.
As . last-minute precaution. tele-
phone and telegraph officers through
out the nation were ordered to keep
lines to Paris constantly open, in case
emergency orders should be issued.
An estimated 1000 900 men were
under arms in the Maginot line along
the German frontier. and ut concen-
Tation points in the interior.
Industry Committee Named,
Plans were ready for the army to
take over operation of railroads at a
moments notice. A committee has
been named to mobilize national in
dustry.
One unconfirmed report in Paris,
published in the newspaper L'Oeuvre
which Is an organ Of Premier Dali
adiers Radical Socialist party, said
that Foreign Minister Bonnet had
persuaded Rumania to permit Russian
troops to cross her soil should Czecho-
slovakia be attacked.
That. with the firm British notice
that Britain would fight with France
should a general war result from
Chancellor Hitler's efforts to force con-
cessions for Czechoslovakia's Sudeten
German minority, left little to be
done-except to wait.

ventured to predict the speech would
not be completed until after Der F'ueh-
rer returned from the afternoon mill
tary spectacle.
Hitler was said to be keeping closely
informed of the situation in Czecho-
slovakia and was expected to make last
minute changes as new facts reach
him.
Sir Neville Henderson, the British
Ambassador. who remained at Nurn-
berg after other foreign diplomats, de-
parted for Berlin last night.
In Gen. Goering's absence from the
morning display Of Germans pre-
paredness, the salute of 1900 soldiers,
who paraded with 1000 horses, 100
tanks, planes and other war imple-
ments. was taken by Col Gen. Walther
Won Brauchitsch, chief Of staff; Ad-
miral Erich Raeder; Colleen. Wilhelm
Keitel, chief of the high command of
armed forces; and Erhard Mich, un-
dersecretary for air.
The war games on Zeppelin Meadow,
lasting more than two hours, gave
100000 spectators an inkling Of what
might be expected If Germany deemed
military Intervention necessary in
Czechoslovakia.
Gen. Goering had stood with Hitler
through several hours at Luitpold
Grove yesterday morning and then
was close by for several hours more
while Der Fuehrer reviewed q gigantic
parade in the Nurnberg public
square.
1t was an exhausting day, especially
following his long, fighting speech
Saturday in which he proclaimed
Germany's readiness to meet any
enemy.
He tried to fight of illness late
yesterday afternoon by taking warm
baths. But when they failed to re-
lieve him he was taken to the nearby
village Of Feucht, away from the
noise and excitement of the party
congress. for complete relaxation.
The fate of Sudeten Germans in
Czechoslovakia now has become q
matter of national honor for Nazi
Germany with all that implies, high
Nazi officials disclosed.
There were two things that to vet
eran observers seemed to indicate Hit
ler was likely to act soon on the
world-troubling Sudeten question.
speaking yesterday to 10000 storm
troopers (SA) and elite guardsmen
(SS), the chancellor declared:
"A new Germany stands before us
and we have the good fortune to live
in it. To other Germans this still is
denied for the time being. Our hearts
60 out to them, as we know their
hearts are with us, and they are in
spirit right among u.s.
The second indication was that
Hitler studiously refrained from
touching the Sudeten German de-
mands for autonomy from Czecho-
slovakia during his chat with foreign
correspondents yesterday.
British fears of possible conflict in
volving France wete held to be un-
founded, and yesterdays outline of
the position that Britain could not
stay out of any war endangering
France was looked upon as an
eleventh-hour attempt to influence the
chancellor's speech tonight.

wages in their accounts, It was ex-
planned. Employers are allowed one
month after the end of the reporting
perid in which to make their reports.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue re-
quires approximately months. for
auditing the reports, and about the
same time is required for the
Boards Bureau of Old-Age Insur-
ance to complete the recording of
wages. During the past year, the
Board has been developing its sys-
tenn of wage recording and has been
recruiting and training personnel for
the job. Since operations got fully
under way about 8 months ago, the
final crediting wage items has pro-
ceeded at an average of over mill
lion day.
In comparison with the more than
80 million applications for social
security accounts, relatively few in
quiries have been received to date
by the Board from employees wish
ing to known the amount of wages
recorded in their social security ac-
counts.
Since July 1, the Board has been
answering requests for such informa-
ton as received. 1t will continue to
send wage statements to other work.
ers who specifically ask for them.
Information concerning wages for
each year will be available after July
/, of the following year. For in
stance, man, inquiring as to- the
status of this account now will be
furnished a statement showing the
amount of wages credited to him
for the year 1887, and similarly af-
ter July /. 1889, information will be
available concerning wages credited
through 1898.
Accompanying the statements con-
corning the status of their accounts,
the Bureau of Old-Age Insurance Is
sending to wage earners circular,
reminding them that their benefits
under the old-age insurance provi-
sions of the Social Security Act will
be computed on the basis OF the
wages paid them rather than ON the
taxes which they and their employ
ers have paid.
eff this statement of your wage
accounts is incomplete" the circular
states, lit may be because you did
not give your account number to
your employer and he could not give
it on his report of your wages, or it
may be because your employer did
not file his report of your wages,
or because his report has not yet
been received. Where wages earned
in 1887 were not actually paid until
1898, they may not be included in
this statement. The amount credited
is also subject to- adjustments II 1t
is later found that any part OF 1t
represents payments for employment

shoppers will find that never before
have such bargains and such values
been presented for their selection.
Offerings will represent the last
word in seasonal merchandise OF
every character, either for personal
wear or adornment, or for utilitar-
ian use in the home. These Dollar
Days by no means are confined to
stores which deal in wear apparel
and kindred lines, but include all
kinds of merchandise for all kinds
of uses.
Official Dollar Day stores, as usual,
will display distinctive emblems and
price cards, both of which bear the
copyrighted emblem of the Cham
Der of Commerce. The committee
urges shoppers to visit those stores
where these official emblem cards
are displayed, as these cards design
ate stores which are cooperating Of
ficially in the event.
All official Dollar Day stores will
open by 8 o'clock, daylight saving
time, in the morning, and are ar
ranging for extra sales people to
care for shoppers, SO as to obviate
the necessity of anyone waiting to
be served. Merchandise to be offer
ed will meet the most discriminating
taste and the entire range Of
"pockat-book Sizes"
The committee desires to stress
that Dollar Day will be held ON We'd
nesday, August 10, regardless Of
weather conditions, that no advance
sales or reservations will be made,
and that Dollar Day bargain prices
will not obtain either before or af-
ter that date.
