About $500 "lost" American pass
ports are somewhere in Europe,
many perhaps in the hands OF spies,
and American authorities here and
abroad are making every effort to get
hold of and destroy them.
The passports were once those of
American volunteers in the armies
of Loyaist Spain. When the Amer
leans reached the Spanish border en-
route 70 the front, they were relieved
ol their passports and Identification
tags were given them.
The number 1900 is the estimate
of officials here. Where these pass
ports are now is an open question,
but officials believe a large percent
age are in Moscow.
Boon for Several Reasons.
With war so much in the European
atmosphere, American passports are
regarded as boon to the foreign spy
for several reasons.
Owing to the great number of
American tourists, travel of Amer
leans across European borders is
generally freer than for other nation
alities. Also, it is more difficult to
identify an American as such be-
cause of the melting pot the
United States has been for many
generations. A traveller may appear
to be an Italian. a Frenchman or a
German by origin, may speak little
or no English, and still logically pos
sess an American passport.
| The Passport Division of the
State Department, of which Mrs.
Ruth Shipley is the chief, has its
eyes open for the recovery of these
lost documents. The several thou
sand American foreign service Of
f1cers and clerks abroad are also
keeping a keen lookout.
Spy Services Vital Now.
The services of spies equipped
with false, preferably American,
passports are deemed by nations
more vital than ever before be-
cause of the fast tempo of the de-
velopment of new war equipment.
Unless nation knows in advance
what technical secrets it's poten-
tial enemy has up its sleeve, it may
be too late once war has started.
Mrs. Shipley is confident the
passports can be recovered, but she
will not say why. She believes it
is very difficult to alter American
passports successfully as spies would
have to do to make use of them.
Passports are now deliberately
made of cheaper grade paper than
they used to be, so any erasure
or addition will show up more
clearly.

vision in detecting passport frauds

Reich Would Strike
Al Polish Coal in
War, Nazis Declare
Fuel Belongs to Him VIII
Actually Needs it,
Says Magazine
l By LOUIS p. LOCHNER.


Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
BERLIN, Aug. 12.-An authorita-
tive German magazine today init
mated strongly that should Ger
many and Poland become involved
in war Germany would attempt to
seize the large coal deposits of Polish
Upper SileSia and Of the Olsa Basin,
formerly part Of ho-Slovakia,
now Polish.
This indication Of Nazi intentions
appeared In an article in Die
Deutsche Volkwirtschaft, an eco
nomic weekly close to the ministry
of economics.
1--WE do not have the ambition
to become the coal dealer of
Europe" the magazine said, but
we believe ourselves justified in stat
ing that the right to coal belongs
to him who actually needs 1t most
Charge Coal Illegally Taken.
"This is especially true when this
coal was illegally taken from him
through important losses of terri
tory"
The article argued that thirds
of Upper Silesia's coal was ceded to
Poland by Germany in the Treaty
of Versailles and that Poland took
important coal deposits when she
seized the Olsa region in the first
partition of Czecho- -Slovakia last
September and october. The maga-
zine continued:
The paradoxical situation has
developed that a country that is
predominantly agrarian and which
uses relatively little coal (Poland)
has been endowed with a superflu-
ity Of anthracite, while a highly
industrialized country Germany Is
compelled to open up new pits.
Goal mining may well become a
most important domestic problem
in the conduct of war just as
was the case in 1915"
Need for Coal Emphasized.
Throughout the past week the
German press has been hammering
away at the necessity of greater coal
production.
The Importance of the problem
received additional emphasis in the
appointment of Paul Walter as spe-
cial commissioner for the coal in
dustry by Field Marshal Goering,
head of the four year plan for
self -sufficiency.

DANZIG. Oct. 24 (P)-Hitler' foreign minister Von Ribbentrop told the world that Germany is now determined to conduct the war against Britain and her al ies to the bitter finish and until the security of the German Reich in Germany is assured for all time. He characterized the war with the western powers as "com pletely senseless" but held that Britain and especially the Cham berlain government insisted on having this war. He denied the charge that Germany had brok en her word and asserted with constant references to recent his tory that every attempt made by Hitler to come ito an understand ing with Britain and France and Poland was frustrated by the London government.
 The immediate audience to his 45-minute broadcast address was formed of veteran fighters of the Nazi party in this one-time free city. He declared "In the truest sense of the word, the war was forced upon Germany"
