Clever Chinese

Carl Crow has written another of
 his eminently readable books
 on China. This one Is called
 'The Chinese Are Like That"
 Harper and Brothers: $3). It
 is . running fire of anecdotes
 with . human touch and . highly entertaining one. Here is
 . sample:
 One of my fellow Americans made frequent business trips into the in- terior provinces
 Like most other foreigners who are veteran travellers in the hin- terlands of China, he had devel- oped a certain method of procedure in order to smooth out the rough places and make life as comfortable as possible. Chinese inns are notor- iously infested with bedbugs. but my friend had system
 He carried with him one of the light folding cots with which every traveller in China is equipped. After supper his servant would set up the cot in the middle of the room with each leg immersed in shallow tin of kerosene, thereby effectively in- sulating it
 With candle at the head of his cot, my friend would read until he fell asleep.
 One night, during the early stages of one of his long journeys his pleasant evening was disturbed by an irnpudent rat which scampered around the floor and. sniffed at the kerosene in the insulation tins. He stood this for a half hour and then in fit of Nordic anger threw the book at the rat When daylight came he found the rat was gone and so. was the book, except for these tndigestible portions which the rat had not eaten. This was the last book he had with, him and he made the rest of the two weeks journey with nothing to read. s asssfl @E A Chinese empioye of mine. was making trip through the beauti- full Yellow Mountain and one night in . Chinese inn he found not one rat, but Q half dozen, scampering about his room. But he didn't throw his book at the pests. s !, Instead he paid one of the inn servants 2 few coppers for the loan of a cat for the night, shut the cat up in the room with himseN and the rats, and so read and slept in peace and carried his book away with him.

Berlin, Oct. )-Rcichfueh-
rer Hitler was described by informed
persons today as holding th7t Prime
Minister Chamberlain's speech in the
House Of Commons did not give a
clear reply to the Communication
peace declaration of Moscow.
These informants said Chamber
lain's statement Of yesterday left IN
answered the question Of war or
peace, and contained nothing sub
stantially new. They asserted that
Hitler expects "a clear political re-
ply" to the Moscow peace gesture.
The fuehrer, they said, expects re-
sponsible heads Of governments 10
take a clear stand.
Statesmen of the western allies,
apparently, will have at least two
days more for any further reply to
the Moscow stand before Hitler
makes his promised statement to the
Reichstag. That will not come be-
fore Friday, it was said, and may be
Saturday All indications today were
that the fuehrer was preparing to go
tomorrow to Warsaw to enter the
Polish capital as conqueror.
After the Reichstag speech, au
thorized sources said, Hitler will
await the reaction in other lands. and
then enter into new consultations
with Russia, and re-eXamine the
whole situation with Italy.
In other words, Hitler apparently
is not in a hurry to start operations
on the western front.

Says Repeal
Unneutral
Act Of War
Connally, of Texas,
Says Failure to Re-
peal Present Neutral
ity Act Will Bring
German Attacks on
American Vessels.

Washington, Oct. 4.-(AP)-Sena-
tor Vandenburg, Republican, Michi-
gan, told the Senate today that ad-
ministration efforts to repeal the
arms embargo were directed at
reaching into the existing arena Of
foreign war;" to aid one belligerent
against another.
Vandenburg arose to read solemnly
speech opposing revision Of the
neutrality law, after Senator Con-
nally, Democrat, Texas, had pre-
dicted that Germany would begin
sinking American merchant vessels
unless the administration bill was
adopted
The measure would substitute a
title and carry" system Of sales Of
munitions and all other supplies for
the present arms embargo 1t would
prohibit American ships from carry
ing any goods to warning nations.
Vandenburg said he thought that
repeal Of the embargo would be "a
deliberately unneutral act, which
may too easily be the forerunner OF
others when once the habit STARTS"
Consciously or otherwise = but
most consciously" he said, 1--WE are
asking to depart from our neutrality
policy in behalf of one belligerent
whom our personal sympathies large
ly favor and against another bel
ligerent whom our personal feelings
largely condemn.
'In my opinion, this is the road
that may lead us to war, and l will
not voluntarily take it,"
Vandenburg asserted that the arms
embargo had become the Symbol"
of American neutrality. He contend
ed that its repeal would be accepted
by the world as indicating that
America was taking sides in the Eu-
ropean conflict.
Connally pointed out that the law,
which imposed the arms embargo
left United States merchantmen free
to carry other goods to belligerents.
He cited long list of American YES
sells attacked or sunk by German
craft before this country's entrance
into the World War, and declared:

London, Oct 4.-(AP)-Britain
has left the door open for con-
sideration Of any German propo-
sails to end the war, but is charting
her course on the assumption that
present diplomatic maneuvers are
merely lull before a greater
storm Of warfare.
British public opinion. as eX-
pressed through the press, backed
up the stand taken by Prime Min
ister Chamberlain in the House of
Commons yesterday-that Britain
would test any Nazi proposal in
the light of Adolf Hitler's past
promises, which Chamberlain said
had proved "Worthless".
The Times of London, which Of
ten reflects the government view,
declared that any peace terms Of
fered by Hitler must conform to
these conditions, to be acceptable to
the British-French allies:
"They must not require us to
condone the acts Of brigandage
committed at the expense of Po-
pair the damage already done. And
they must give not only to us but
to all Europe adequare assurance
that the peace concluded will be
durable and will not be disturbed
by the continual threats of Nazi
aggression"
Official sources said no formal
message relating to the German Of
fer to end the war on Germany's
terms had reached London. They
added they knew nothing of any
