SENATOR PITTMAN
SCORES HITLER
Fuehrer Has Written Own
Death By His Attack
Upon Poland

New York, Sept. i,-(UP)-Adolf
Hitler has written not only his
physical death, but his political de-
mise by today's activities against
Poland, Sen. Key Pittman, D., New,
chairman Of the Senate foreign rela-
lions committee, said In O radio ad-
dress today.
Speaking from Salt Lake City over
the combined networks Of the Ma
tional Broadcasting company after
receiving word OF Hitler's Reich
stag speech, Pittman predicted that
probably he tHitler) will destroy
the Polish people, but Hitler will
never win"
ut seemed evident 10 me that
Hitler had determined TO carry war
to Poland" Pittman said.
Anyone who understands human
nature would understand that
speech. He (Hitler) Is Q coward. The
reference to his possible death no
brave man would make; no patri-
otto statesman would urge.
HE has been guilty Of subterfuge.
He Is unworthy Of the German peo-
pie. The German people have rights
which we recognized In Danzig. His
demand for the Polish Corridor Ia
not based on any principle that he
has ever asserted, Of occupation BY
races.
Possibly, he can destroy the Pol.
ish people, but Hitler will never
win"
"Hitler has shown the instability
OF dictatorship, the wrong Of dicta-
torship, Hitler has today written not
only his own physical death, which
would be small, but he has written
his political death which will NEAR,

The stellar magnitude will be equiv

this month and October Jupiter will

UNITED STATES

President Today Pledges
His Regime to Work for
That End


ident Roosevelt today pledged his
administration to make every eff
fort to keep the United States out
of war.
He also announced resignation Of
Hugh r. Wilson as ambassador to
Germany, and appealed to the four
major European powers to avoid the
"inhuman barbarism" OF bombing
civilians and unfortified cities.
He let 1t be known that summon
ing Of o special session Of congress
and invocation Of the neutrality act
are not In immediate prospect.
Asked at a press conference
whether he cared to say anything
about the chance Of this country
staying out Of war, Mr.. Roosevelt
replied:
"only this: that I not only sin
cerely hope so, but ! believe we can
stay out, and that every effort will
be made by the administration SO
to do"
German officials here said that
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler had replied TO
President Roosevelt's messages to
him of August IS and 20, The en-
bassy referred all inquiries as to
details to American officials.
It was stated that the reply was
sent to the state department this

Roosevelt and Secretary OF State
Cordell Hull.

Eight hours later the White

intimated that no proclamation In

expected today.
Mr.. Roosevelt addressed Great
Britain. France, Germany and
italy with the plea not TO bomb
civilians and unfortified cities. Paris
dispatches reported immediate

Outbreak Of hostllities on the
Polish frontier today slowed trading
on European exchanges, brought q
boomlet into Tokyos market, mod.
crate selling in New York, and Q
further break In the pound sterling.
Markets, long prepared for any
emergency, generally took the Polish
invasion with surprising calm.
Wall street activity was In sharp
contrast with 1914. Everything was
ready to keep the market place open.
Governors were on the floor at
opening time to watch transactions
where price changes were wide.
The New York stock exchange had
an orderly though lower opening.
Initial prices were down fractions to
nearly 3 points. The largest block
was 1000 shares Of U. 8. Steel which
sold at $44.25 share, of $l.S7 Ia.
Bonds declined in New York.
Losses ranged to STA points In
Norway 4 per cent bonds. U. g..
governments were down sharply.
World sugar futures, q prime war
commodity, opened with gains up to
q points, the limit Of fluctuations.
Cotton futures lost II to l3 points.
Rubber opened with gains Of 20 to
SO points.
Montreal maintained Its markets
on the stock exchange but banned
short selling. Curb dealings proceed
ed as usual.
Wheat at Chicago and Winnipeg
scared the limit Of fiuctuations-5
cents bushel. Corn opened with
gains ranging to more than 3 cents.
The London stock exchange was
closde because Of the evacuation Of
the city. It will remain closed at
least until Monday. London banks
remained open.
Trading In foreign exchange slow
ed almost to zero In London where
the pound opening nominally at $4.25
In dollar terms fell to $4.lo, only z
cents above the six-year low set @
few days ago, and of Si.2 cents
from yesterdays close. Few foreign
rates outside the dollar were quoted.
The Paris bourse operated Off
cially but dealings were slight. No
official currency quotations were
posted. Unofiicially the dollar was
at $40.36 francs (2.4e cents 0 france.
Amsterdam stock dealings went
ahead quietly under severe restric-
lions.
johannesburg closed Its stock ex-
change because OF the London clos
ing.
Tokyo's stock exchange was the
only world market where gains were
made. Prices moved up sharply on
the theory Japanese trade would
benefit from q general war.
Gold In London rose to 100 shiil-
Ing Up ! shilling from yesterday
and down one shilling from the rec
ord high set on Moday. Absence OF
