Why Make a Sunset OF the Sunrise?

For some people the day is
Over just as soon as it begins ~
a tiresome twin of an empty
yesterday.
There are others who meet the
challenge of each new day with
the hearty confidence of our pio-
neer forefathers, who believed
and proved-tha success was
never final and failure never
fatal. Despite yesterdays sue
cess-or failure-they greet
every new dawn as a dare. They
have seen people in America
rewarded more generously
with comforts and conveniences
than the peoples of other lands.
They know that each sunrise in
America ushers in new oppor-
tunities to those who keep their
chins up who never lose that
lusty courage and willingness
that made ours the most envied
nation on Earth.

them," he smiled. Not once did he
60 far enough to name Germany
directly, or mention details of the
present crisis.
The first question sought his opin-
ion on the possibility of renewal
| of the old Anglo-Japanese alliance.
He ssdestepped that one by remark
ing that that agreement was super
seded years ago by the nine-power
treaty, which would be the basis of
any action now.
Then he was asked if he brought
any special instructions about trying
to settle the vexatious war debt
question.
Without showing any trace of en-
barrassment, he replied that he had
no special instructions, but that no
one would be happier than he would
be to see some settlement made of
England's debt to this country. He
frankly pointed out. however, that
this hardly seemed to be the time for
such action.
In response to other questions, he
said it was his hope and intention"
to do lot of travelling in the
United States, where he has visited
often in past years, and that he
would hold press conferences when
ever the occasion demanded.
He added with smile that he
would not schedule regular press
conferences at the start of his ca
reer here, at least, because it would
be too dangerous"
Cites Armament as Unity.
Then came his remarks on British
unity. He said he considered Brit
aims remarkable achievement in
the field of rearmament during the
past year. as striking evidence OF
this unity, pointing particularly to a
tremendous expansion" of airplane
production.
He said the armament program
would absorb all of Englands unem-
ployed this fall, and pointed out that
real problem in the way Of disarm-
ament would be to find other jobs
for the men who have been making
machines of war. This would call
for big public works programs, he
added.
He explained that Britain's ire.
mendous expenditures for arms have
resulted in an unbalanced budget

South America Looks
To U. 5. for Signal &
On War Course
Fiehting in Europe Finds
Stronger Latin Nations
In Close Accord

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 1.-South
America, anxious to maintain neu-
trality in the European conflict and
keep its raw materials moving to
the Old World, looked to the United
States today for signal which may
indicate the course of the southern
continent.
The outbreak of hostilities between
Germany and Poland found Latin
American nations and the United
States more nearly in complete &C
cord than in 1914.
The three most powerful South
American countries - Argentina,
Brazil and Chile-have frequently
demonstrated that their interests are
| linked closely with those of the
United States, Britain and France.
There have been indications recently
that the crisis in Europe has been
swinging Argentina's policy closer
toward a strong Western Hemisphere
defense alliance which Secretary
Hull sought and which Argentina
rejected at the Pan-American Con-
| ference in Lima, Peru, last December.
Argentina Swings Away.
Experienced observers said that
whatever lead might be taken by
the United States, Argentina, Brazil
and Chile would be followed by the
other Latin American nations.
A strong bloc of Argentine deputies
and citizens has been pressing for
an open avowal of support for the
British-French alliance.
President Roberto Ortiz of Argen-
! tina started to swing away from the
Rome Berlin axis last May when he
, told Congress that unilateral trade
agreements with Germany and other
nations were objects of necessity
rather than desire Indicating
Argentina's greater dependence on
the Western Hemisphere. the Buenos
Aires government on the same day
announced its decision to negotiate
commercial treaty with the United
States and new agreement with
Brazil.
Strong Financial Reasons.
Argentina has strong financial
reasons for leaning toward the
United States, France and Britain.
Britain is her best customer and
Argentina knows that in wartime
England and France will be the only
old world countries able to buy her
wheat and meat. Argentina re-
manned neutral in the World War,
but the recent publication of pur-
ported private papers of wartime
President Hipolito Yrigoyen dis
closed that he had signed decla-
ration OF war against Germany
which was withdrawn after Berlin
agreed to pay indemnities for SUBJ
marine attacks against Argentine
shippings.
Well-informed sources in Santiago
expressed the opinion that Chile
would be unable to follow its 1914
policy ofindependent neutrality but
WOULD favor common inter-
American stand in accordance with
Pan-American consultative agree
ments.

World Fair Continuation
Discussed With Roosevelt

Possibility of continuing the New
York Worlds Fair for a second year
was discussed by Mayor La Guardia
of New York City and Grover Whal-
en-, president of the Worlds Fair
Corp, during visit with President
Roosevelt at the White House today.
Speaking for himself and Mr..
Whalen, Mayor La Guardia said
they believe they are free to say
the President hopes the fair can
be continued another year. They
said he sees in it the possibility of
emphasizing the opportunity for
peaceful pursuits, education, prog
ress, unity and recreation.
If continuation should be decided
on, the President, through the Secre-
tary of State, would have to extend

Nazi troops were driving in three

Prussia against Dzialdowo and
Mlawa; second, from Pomerania
against Chojnice at the narrow

the disputed corridor, and third,
from Breslau against Katowice,

Westerplatte Attacked.
There were reports here that Ger
man planes attempted to bomb the
Polish port of Gydnia, but that the
bombs fell into the sea.
Initial attacks on Westerplatte in
Danzig, where Poland has main
tanned an ammunition depot, were
announced repulsed by Polish troops.
1t was reported that Grodno, on
the East Prussian frontier, had been
bombed and that Katowice was
heavily bombed, although there was
no information as to the extent or
the casualties.
Polish officials squarely placed the
gull. of starting the war on Ger
many. Officials said the Polish gov
ernment yesterday agreed to an act
of mediation by the British govern
ment, the aim of which was to start
conversations between the Polish
and German governments in order
to avoid war.
Authorities declared that an un-
derstanding to this effect was given
Berlin late yesterday by the Polish
Ambassador and that the German
answer was an announcement of a
long list of conditions.
A few hours later, Polish officials
asserted, Germany began war action
without further communication.
Five Other Cities Bombed.
The foreign Office said German
planes had bombed Krakow and
Katowice, in Southwestern Poland,

flushed Berlin Gives
Few Signs Of a Nation
Locked in Warfare
Military Activities Even
Less in Evidence Thon
In Ordinary Days
By WALLACE r. DEUEL.,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
BERLIN, Sept. Never did a
people 60 to war with as few out
ward signs of tumult and struggle
as were to be seen in Berlin to-
day.
To the outside observer at least,
1t was in fact hard to believe from
the evidence of his own eyes that
Germany has really gone to war
today. An unusual hush hangs over
the city, almost as if Berlin lay un-
der an invisible sound-proof cur
tain. Yet the hush seems like a
hush of quiet and waiting and
suspense, not hush of tragedy and
death.
There are actually fewer signs of
military activities in the center of
the city than usual, and certainly
fewer than there have been the past
10 days. Up until mid-afternoon
at least, only one or two planes were
heard over the city and they fly
ing so high that the drone of their
motors were scarcely audible. Regu-
lar flying services have been sus-
pended and the skies seem almost
startlingly empty as a result of the
disappearance of the many low
flying planes which ordinarily are
roaring over the city at all hours of
the day and night.
Scene at Reichstag Session.
Anti-air raid protection proclama-
tions have been posted on some shop
windows, but they are relatively
small-perhaps 8x12 inches-and in
CONSPICUOUS. Only a few people
clustered about them today, fewer
than gather every day to look into
the shop windows of peace.
For all its stark reality, there was
even something incredible about the
Reichstag session today. There
stood pale man in a field-gray
tunic and black trousers calling
down the lightning of war. Yet
sitting calmly in the center of the
diplomatic gallery, directly opposite
this defiant man, there sat at least
one diplomatic representative of the
power which has said that it would
unleash the lightning if Hitler
should do exactly what he was do
Ing at that moment-Sir George
Ogilvie- Forbes, counselor of the
British Embassy. And in the press
gallery sat, equally unmoved, the
British Embassy's press secretary,
r. F. Bashford.
Sir George walked coolly back
from the Reichstag to the canary
yellow stone embassy in the Will
helmstrasse, alone and at least not
too preoccupied to exchange smiling
greetings and hearty handshakes
with friends he met on the way.
No Signs Of War.
Black smoke poured from the
chimney of the French Embassy in
the Pariser Platz this morning and
since it was hot sultry day the
supposition was that the fire was de-
signed to destroy papers rather than
heat the Embassy.
But the signs of war? If visitor
from another planet had walked
down Unter den Linden at high noon
today he would not have had single
reason to think that he was in the
capital of great power engaged in
a gigantic conflict.
The only loud explosive sounds
heard by this correspondent up to
midafternoon were the stout blows
of somebody beating a rug in the
courtyard of his Office building. Fri
day is rug-beating day in Berlin,
war or no war.
