Associated Press Stafi Writer.

GENEVA, Sept. 9:-Despite Italy's
policy OF virtual neutrality in the
new European war, authoritative in
ternational sources here say the
Rome Berlin axis Is still function
ing.
Reichsfuehrer Hitler and Premier
Mussolini, these sources insist, will
regularly exchange views on the
world situation under terms of their
consultative pact.
These circles, which include dele
countries. as we'll as belligerentS,
hear that Germany for the mo-
ment chooses to consider herself at
war only with Poland.
When German Armies attain their
obiectives in Poland, when and If
the Warsaw area falls. Hitler is eX-
pected to propose a peace arrange
ment
May Consult Duce Again.
II this is rejected and Germany
then believes herself irrevocably at
war with Britain and France, it is
believed here that Hitler again will
consult Mussolini to determine ii
he needs Italian military aid.
But generally we'll informed
sources expect France and Great
Britain will seek to obtain at least
the permanent neutrality of Italy.
From larger world standpoint.
Geneva sources see that the future
italian attitude toward the allied
cause may be considerably Influenced
by the japanese decision to follow
policy, of mon n-involvement," in the
European war.
This correspondent was informed
that the new Japanese government
plans to seek peace in China through
Chinese so-called 'Legitimist" gov
eminent in Shanghai
Want Quick End to War.
Japanese, chagrined and fearful
following announcement of the
Russo-German pact, were declared
determined to bring a quick end to
the Chinese war by trying to get
China to accept a plan they think
will give a face-saving appearance
of neither a victorious nor a van
quished nation.
BY this policy the japanese hope
to satisfy China's pride and remove
the cause of a later conflict such as
many Japanese believe was created
In Europe by the Versailles treaty.
Some sources in Geneva declared
the non intervention policy of Japan
and the neutrality of Spain may in
fiuence Mussolini to remain out
Of war.
1t is believed that both Japan and
ITALY are fearful of economic ruin
which may flow out of any gen.

War Will Not Cause
Garner 40 Backers
To Relax Efforts
Strict Adherence to
U. S. Traditions Stressed
In Texans Statement

Supporters of Vice President Gar
ner for the Democratic presidential
nomination next year do not con-
slider the European war any reason
to relax their efforts, E. B. Ger
many, Texas Democratic State
chairman and head Of the Garner
for-President drive, announced In
Dallas yesterday.
Mr.. Germanys statement follows:
War in Europe has not changed
our plans. What is happening there
only accentuates the vital necessity
of a strict adherence to American
traditions and the processes OF DEM
ocratic government. America wants
to preserve her democracy. That Is
the only issue so far as we Ameri-
cans are concerned. The way to Go
that is to keep practicing democracy.
The Garner campaign Is based
on Americanism and nothing else
therefore, we see no reason for re-
laxing our efforts to bring about
his nomination and election.
America is going to stay out of
foreign entanglements to continue
to hold aloft the torch Of democ-
racy"
This statment was interpreted
here as an answer to claims by those
who insist the war situation has
made certain the denomination and
reelection of President Roosevelt
It's mention of American traditions
and the necessity of adherence to
them was regarded as direct ref
erence to the third-term traditi on

Sweep away calmly along the

The speaker admonished the citi-
zens to refuse to listen to liars
and intriguers. Remain where you
are and report to air defense COM

We must protect ourselves first and

The most talked about method
for bringing about the proposed

is that of a declaration by the
Danzigers that they no longer are
bound by the free city constitu-

forth are a part of the reich.

John Powell in Charge. Will
Be Held August II and
IL This Year.

The White Top Folk Festival,
on White Top Mountain, more
than mile high peak in South
west Virginia, has come to be
one of the centerS of folksong
activity, and d visit to the Festi-
val is enough to win over even
the most hardhearted of mo-
dernS tC the charm Of the music
OF the people. 1t is exclusively
an amateur performance. There
are no professionals on the stage
and ne stiff-necked patrons of
music N the audience. On the
other hand there is no reticence
and shyness. The singers and
musicians are at home with
themselves and their instru-
mentS, some of the instruments
being homemade, and the Festi-
val would be incomplete with
out the presence of J. w. Tester
man, of Rugby, Grayson County,
Virginia, with his homemade
dulcimer.
John Powell, Director of the
Festival, has announced that the
program for this years Festival,
which will be held on August
18th and 18th, promises to be one
of the best in the history of the
festival. Jess Johnston, of Ocean,
West Va, will be there with his
band, and their dance music
will cause many of the visitors
to remain on the mountain all
night to attend the dark-to -dawn
square dance in the pavilion. J..
II. Chrisholm, a ballad singer OF
Albemarle County, w. E. Alder
man, a ballad singer of Grayson
County, Council Cruise, who has
been present at the Festival each
year since its organization in
1881, and many other musicians
have stated that they expect to
take part in the program.
Scores of prominent musicians,
authors and other notables will
be among the thousands attend
ing the Festival. Among those
who have stated that they would
attend are DR.. George Pullen

money in the last year to meet

the taxes paid by those corporations
amounted to as much as three times
the income that was left to them

Thus, it seems to me that when

no votes induced by that price will

this new atrocity that is being
put over in the name of farm aid, it
ought to be said that never in all

such thing attempted before. That,
Of course, is no answer. It is an an

tons Of some private persons. are
so utterly ludicrous that they hard

ought to remind ourselves that in
this instance a government, sup

undertaking the course. To my
mind, the fact that government is
doing it makes it perfection on the
aSinine side.
