The Times story, sent from Wash

the Presidents purpose in suggesting
such an unprecedented conference
was 'to learn from the dictators at

Foreign Policy; Hitler
Speech Not Surprising

London, April 28-1(AP)-Sir John
Simon, chancellor Of the exchequer,
today warned the German people "to
ask themselves what is the explana-
tom of Britain's new foreign policy.
Speaking shortly after Chancellor
Hitler's Reichstag speech, Sir John
said:
''The German people would do we'll
to ask themselves what is the ex-
planation Of SO surprising a change
Mr.. Chamberlain (Britain's prime
minister) is still the man Of peace" !"
The chancellor was addressing the
Primrose League, a conservative or
ganization founded by Disraeli.
British naval quarters asserted
they were "unsurprised and undis-
turbed by Hitler's reputation of the
Anglo-British German naval treaty.
Hitler ordered a special military
airplane to fly English language"
copies of his speech to the British
foreign office this morning. Dr. T. p.
Kordt, the German charge d'affaires,
walked into the foreign affairs office
with them just as Hitler rose in the
opera house to speak.
On June IS, Joachim Won Ribben-
trop, then German ambassador at
large, concerning the Anglo-German
naval pact, described it in letter
to Sir Samuel Hoare, then British
foreign secretary, as "a permanent
and definite agreement" The pact
did not include any denunciation

Restrictions Tighten
ed on War Planes and
Munitions from Spies
and Sabotage; John
son Says Nation Is Be-
ing Edged" Into War

Washington, April 28.-(AP)-In-
dications that President Roosevelt is
considering partial reorganization of
the War and Navy Departments came
to light today in the midst of other
fast-breaking defense developments.
These included disclosure that re-
strictions have been tightened to
safeguard new war planes and NUM-
tions from spying and sabotage. An
undetermined number of aliens has
been discharged from private indus
trial plants because the War Depart
ment refused to let them work on
munitions contracts.
Before the start of the adminiStra-
TONS vast arms program, granting of
permits for employment of aliens
vouched for by their employers was
routine. Now, authorities indicated
the permits are issued for only few
months, and then only after rigid
investigation
Other developments:
Senator Johnson, Republican, Cali
fornia, contended in hearings on
neutrality legislation that this coun-
try was being "edged" into war by
false propaganda. Questioning a wit
ness before the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee, Johnson asked if
it were not true that a 'determined
effort is now being made by pro
paganda to educate the American
people that they can't keep out of
war"
The witness, DR.. Charles Tansill.
professor of American history at
Fordham University, said he thought
this was true.
"And that way" Johnson added,
1--WE are being edged into war"
Secretary Hull called in his prin-
cipal advisors preparatory to tele-
phoning President Roosevelt for
discussion of what Reichfuehrer Hit
Ter said in his Reichstag speech.
Congressional leaders predicted
that President Roosevelt's $1,763,-
100000 relief PROPOSE would be ac-
cepted readily by both House and
Senate, but fight is brewing over
how the money should be spent.

Raleigh, April 28.-Machinery for
transferring widows Of Confederate
veterans from the States pension to
its old age assistance rolls is being
set up as rapidly as possible under
supervision of Nathan Yelton, direc-
tor of the old age assistance division
of the State Department of Public
Welfare.
Mr.. Yelton is anxious to get the
machinery moving and to determine
just how many widows will be trans
ferred, because until. this has been
determined his division will be un-
able to work out its budget for the
next fiscal year, because Mr.. Yelton
will not know how much money he
will have available for aged persons
other than widows of veterans.
Like the Tar Baby of Uncle Remus
fame, the director isn't saying a great
deal about it, but on the face Of
things it seems certain that widows
will be given very, very liberal treat
ment in determining whether or not
they should be taken from pension
and put on old age rolls. This be-
cause of the fact that for every

seems to me that Hitler regarded his
speech in the Reichstag as ending the
matter Of further world peace dis

First, congressional reaction to Hit

German fuehrer had not closed the

ropean controversies. At the State
Department, Secretary Hull studied
press dispatches on the speech, but
since the department had announced
previously it would not regard it as
a formal reply to President Roose-
velt's written peace proposals, there
was no comment.
Some legislators express frank
disappointment at the tone Of Hit

of peace in Europe Others called the
speech ''blustering'', and "bluffing".

Paris, April 28.-(AP)-War
planes seized by Germany in Czecho-

to France, a source close to the gov
ernment disclosed tonight Reports
OF this offer and Chancellor Hltler'S
Reichstage speech, which was inter-
preted in French official quarters as
moderate" were taken here as
comforting indications for peace.
Government sources said that war
materials taken by the Germans
when they absorbed Czechoslovakia,
last month, and which Hitler listed
in his speech, were being put on
sale in several countries.
The planes offered to France were
not designated by Germany as COM
ing from Czechoslovakia, but their
origin was learned from other evil
dence. Hitler placed the number Of
planes taken at 1882
First French reaction to Hitler's
speech in circles close to the foreign
office, was, in the words Of one,
'that it closely resembles an anti
climax"
Diplomatic sources, however, said
they considered that Hitler might
have been preparing the way for a
sudden stroke against Poland. His
denunciation of the ten-year Ger
man-Polish non-aggression pact
caused considerable uneasiness when
taken in connection with his an
nouncement that Poland had refus-
ed his GUST offer for settlement
