No of1icial statement of Soviet
Russia's position on the Czechoslovak
crisis has been issued yet, but in
Soviet circles it was observed that the
postwar republican fact, the whole
postwar European status-was cre-
ated by Great Britain, France and
other powers without consulting
Moscow.
If Czechoslovakia's creators now de-

DNB reported.
Czechoslovak customs guards were
said to have fired upon the group with
out warning. The Sudetens were re-
ported to have returned the fire and
reached Germany without harm. The
Sudeten Germans wore Czech uni
forms and carried Czech weapons.
On the German side of the frontier
DNB said, there was evidence that
shots were fired by Czechoslovaks even
after the Sudeten Germans were on
German soil, clearly proving border
violation.
At Sis am. deserting Sudeten Ger
man soldiers from the Trautenau In
fantry Regiment opened flre and threw
several hand grenades into a customs
shed. The shed burned to the ground.
Fifteen Czech soldiers, according to
D. N. B., had been lying next to the
customs shed with two machine guns
and retreated in the direction OF Neu-
haesel. leaving behind them in the
burning shed one gendarme killed by
hand srenades.
Sudeten soldiers disarmed and cap
turned one Czech gendarme and one
customs official, both OF whom emerged
from shed with hands raised in sur
render.
The civilian fugitives escaped to Ger
man soil, while Sudeten soldiers
searched the surrounding territory
looking for. but not finding, more
Czechs.
Then they also crossed the German
frontier and surrendered two captives
to German authorities.
At Z am. stronger Czech detach-
ment OF soldiers arrived with machine
guns and fired at a German customs
station, said the German reports.
No harm resulted to the customs
ofiicials. Three women and two
children, sudeten fugitives, were in
)ured by machine gun fire.
Of1cial circles declared If the
Czechoslovak government could not
control its border forces, Germany
might regard the incident "of the
same nature as cause for war"

 MT. Phillips presented the Rotar- ian point of view of international friendship, adding however that in view of the recent Austrian crisis the ideals of Rotary have been turned aside. He later stated that in his opinion large standing army and navy are the only present means by which to prevent war.
 Mrs. Harold Smith presented the womans point of view on war, not in the er-sentimentalized stand of T didn't raise my boy to become a soldier" but in frank understand ing of the obvious problems which do exist. Education is the ultimate solution to international under standing and peace, Mrs. Smith pointed out, and only through world understanding will we be able to escape from ultra ma tionalism.
 The effectiveness of international police and world court to curb ban- dit nations was stressed by the speaker, who stated that women throughout the world will do best by supporting an educational pro- gram conducive to advanced under standing.
 Chris Hennings, organized labor speaker. voiced the opinion of the Central Labor Council in pre- pared article which attacked capi- talism as the cause of war prob lems
 Stating that war comes from the capitalistic system, he pointed out that labor in all countries must unite in opposition to the capitalist menace. All war is for the purpose of protecting capital he pointed out, adding that if war comes labor might better die fighting for its own principles than for those of capital which have already proved to be failures.
 Hennings attacked the universal draft. recommended by American Legion speaker George Penny last Sunday, tating that the real pur- pose of the draft is to take from labor its rightful bargaining power. He voiced support of the Ludlow bill, granting a referendum on wars of aggression, which was killed, he said, by capitalistic interests.
