Hitler Dissatisfied
with British RepIy;
Demands Clarity
Fuehrer to Address
Reichstog Friday
Or Saturday
By LOUIS P. LOCHNER.

persons today as holding that Prime
Minister Chamberlain speech in the
House of Commons did not give a
. clear reply to the German-Russian
peace declaration of Moscow.
These informants said Mr.. Cham
berlain's statements of yesterday
'left unanswered the question of war
or peace" and contained nothing
substantially new.
They asserted that Hitler expects
"a clear political reply" to the Mos
COW peace gesture. The Fuehrer, they
said, expects responsible heads of
governments to take a clear stand.
(The German peace terms, first
discussed with Italy, have also
been submitted to Belgium, Den
mark, Spain. Norway and Swe-
den in the hope that these coun-
tries might participate in the de-
livery of Hitler's peace proposals,
the Chicago Daily News reported
from PariSD
Speech Friday or Saturday.
Statesmen of the Western allies
:. apparently will have at least two
more days more for any further re-
ply to the Moscow stand before Hit
Ter makes his promised statement to
the Reichstag. That will not come
before Friday, it was said, and may
be Saturday All indications today
were that the Fuehrer was preparing
to 60 tomorrow to Warsaw to enter
the Polish capital as conqueror.
Officials evaded replying to direct
questions as to his plans, but prepa-
rations pointed to the Warsaw
journey.
After the Reichstag speech, au-
thorized sources said, Hitler will
await the rection 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.
German authorities still regard
Turkey as not lost to their lineup
OF nations. They insist that Tur-
keys ties to Russia are far stronger
than to Britain and France.
Informed sources said the Ger
man official reaction to the Panama
declaration of 81 American repub-
lies, designed to insulate them from
the European conflict, was friendly.
They asserted that Germany re-
CARDS the American continent as in
line with constructive elements in
Europe"-by which Germans mean
the Reich, Soviet Russia and Italy
If it insists on maintaining true neu-
trality.
Closer Ties to Soviet Seen.
Tightening of Germany's relation
with Soviet Russia was forecast by
- informed quarters as result of Mr.
Chamberlain's latest speech, which
Nazis apparently regard as a rebuff
to peace overtures.
Some sources said visit to Berlin
by Soviet Premier Foreign Commits
sar Vyacheslaff Molotoff was quite
probable"
Negotiations with Russia to in
crease the flow of vital supplies to
the Reich most certainly would be
speeded up, it was said.
Berlin newspapers carried only
brief excerpts from Mr.. Chamber
lain's address and not a line of
=, comment.
1t was apparent grave view of
Britains attitude was taken, and
that Germany was preparing to
strike back at France and Great
Britain with the full power of her
armed forces.
The semi official commentary
Dienst aus Deutschland made it
clear German submarines would
attack every armed merchantmen.
THE German Navy not only will
be entitled to, but will be obliged
to break the resistance of such ships
with all possible MEANS" it said.
" Vessels Searched.
A communique, issued this morn
ing by the high command, said 72
additional vessels had been searched

forces since September 30. Some
of these, it was said, had been es-
corted into German harbors.
= The communique also reported
that German troops, "mopping up"
in Poland, had engaged in fighting
with shattered portions" of the
Polish Army, between the present
demarcation line and the newly
fixed German-Russian boundary
limiting spheres of influence"
The western front was described
as calm" except for minor" artil-
lery activity by the enemy.
Some light on the German re-
action to Britain's attitude was
given by Hitler's Voelkischer Beo-
bachter, commenting upon radio
. broadcast Monday night by the
Archbishop of York, who said, 1--WE
can make no terms with Hitler or
his colleagues because Hitler's gov
ernment is utterly untrustworthy."
ut is high time" Voelkischer Beo-
bachter said, that London ban
ishes such childish conceptions from
its mind. The destruction of the
Hitler regime preached by Winston
Churchill and his associates is a
classical example of British arro-
gance, which constitutes the only
hindrance toward European peace"
U. S. Debate Followed.
Nazi leaders followed closely the
progress of debate on neutrality
legislation in the United States Sen
ate, as well as developments at the
Panama Neutrality Conference.
