BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. April 28.-Sir John
Simon, chancellor of the exchequer,
declared today it was the action of
Germany which was responsible
for Britain's new foreign policy.
Speaking shortly after Chancellor
Hitler's Reichstag speech, Sir John
insisted that British character had
not altered.
The thing that has changed
British policy and changed it with
unanimous approval" he said, lis
the action of Germany.
1T is no longer true that German
policy is limited to bringing Ger
mans within the Reich. Recent &C
tions go further than that and if
these actions portend an effort at
domination over the rest of Europe
it is an effort which Britain must
oppose"
Sir John spoke as British naval
quarters. analyzing Hitler's cancel
lation of the Anglo-German naval
pact which provided that the Ger
man fleet be inferior permanently
in tonnage to the British fleet. said
they were "unsurprised and undis-
turbed" by the move.
The chancellor laid the respon-
slblllty for Britain's new policy to
German action after he had said:
The German people would do
we'll to ask themselves what is the
explanation of so surprising a
change. Mr.. Chamberlain is still
the man of peace"
The chancellor was addressing
the Primrose League, conservative
organization founded by Disraeli.
British naval quarters. in assert
ing they were "unsurprised and un-
disturbed by Hitler's reputation of
the Anglo German naval treaty,

Senator Logan, Democrat, of

Speaker Bankhead: "On the whole,
I regard Hitler's reply to President
Roosevelt's overtures as specious
and unpromising of any tranquility
in the European situation. AS I
construe the speech as a whole, while
1t contained some general desires
upon his part to preserve peace in
Europe and the world. it was never

other aggressions on the part of Mr..
Hitler and in no measure affords
any assurance of stability and peace

regarded his speech in the Reichstag
"as ending the matter of further
world peace discussions"
Other Congressional reaction to
the speech indicated a belief that
the German Fuehrer had not closed
the door to a peaceful settlement of
European controversies.
One informed observer called at
tention to two points in Hitler's ad-
dress which might permit the Presi-
dent to pursue the subject further
on disarmament and trade.
Officials noted with interest
Hltler's generalized statement of
willingness to join in disarmament
discussions, and Secretary Hull eyed
closely the Fuehrer's statement that
it would be a great service If the
President, with his influence, would
remove the barriers to a genuinely

The words beginning with the
United States were taken to refer

disappointment at the tone Of

years OF peace in Europe.

Connally, Democrat Of Texas, a
member of the Senate Foreign Re-
lation Committee, that the Presi-
dents Intervention has borne some
fruit. Hitler's answer has give some
encouragement to those who hope
for peaceful settlement of Europe's
difficulties"

acting chairman of the House For

CARDS the relations of the various
countries to one another, and in
particular as regards internal
happenings in other countries, the
fear of war will disappear at once
and the tranquility which we all
desire so much will become pos

In his telegram Mr. Roosevelt
expresses the telief that every
major war. even if it we're to be
confined to other continents,
must have serious consequences
while it lasts, and also for gen.
eratlons to come.
The answer: No one knows this
better than the German people.
For the peace treaty of Versailles

people which could not have been
paid off even in a hundred years,
although it has been proved pre-
cisely by American teachers of

Mr.. Roosevelt declared that he

BERLIN, April 28.-The follow
ing are the specific answers Adolf
Hitler gave today to President
Roosevelt in the name of the Ger
man people:
Mr., Roosevelt is of the opin-
ion that I. too, must realize that
throughout the world hundreds
OF millions Of human beings are
living in constant fear of a new
war or even series of wars.
This he says is of concern to
the people of the United States
for whom he speaks. as it must
also be to the peoples of the other
nations of the entire Western
Hemisphere.
In reply to this it must be said
in the first place that this fear
OF war has undoubtedly existed
among mankind from time i'm
memorial, and justifiably so.
For instance. after the peace
Treaty of Versailles IA wars were
Waged between 1919 and 1898
alone. in none Of which Germany
was concerned, but in which the
states of the western Hemis-
phere" in whose name President
Roosevelt also speaks, were in
deed concerned
In addition there were in the
same period rs violent interven-
tions and sanctions carried
through by means of bloodshed
and force.
Germany also played no part
whatever in these. The United
States alone has carried out mill
tary tnterventions in six cases
since 1918. Since 1918 Soviet
Russia has engaged in 10 wars
and military actions involving
force and bloodshed.
Again Germany was concerned
in none of these, nor was she the
cause of any of these events 1t
would therefore be a mistake in
my eyes to assume that the fear
OF war inspiring European and
nom European nations can at this
present time be directly traced
back to actual wars at all.
The reason for this fear lies
simply and solely in an unbridled
agitation on the part of the press,
an agitation as mendacious as it
is base. in the circulation of vile
pamphlets about the heads of for
eign states, and in an artificial
spreading of panic which in the
end goes so far that interventions
from another planet are believed
possible and cause scenes of des-
perate alarm.

Emmitt Warning, former big shot"
Of the numbers racket. pleaded
guilty in District Court today to in
come tax fraud, bringing to sudden
close his third trial Justice Bolitha
j. Laws deferred sentence.
After court had adjourned District
Attorney Pine announced that dis
position of the other income tax
fraud cases against Emmitt's
brothers. Leo and Charles. and Cor
don L. R. Sadur, tax accountant,
who were granted separate trials,
would not be taken up until after
Emmitt is sentenced.
While no announcement was
made, 1t was indicated that Emmitt
will be sentenced early next week,
probably Monday. 1t was not be-
/ leved that Justice Laws would await
settlement of the taxes before i'm
posing sentence.
Under the indetermediate sentence
law the former racket chief could
receive either prison sentence from
four months to two years. or a fine
ranging up to $4,000 or both.
The sudden close of Emmitt War
rings trial was forecast yesterday
when a series of conferences were
held among the attorneys and Of
flcials of the Justice Department
and the Internal Revenue Bureau
in Justice Laws chambers.
Tax Settlement Negotiated.
In accepting the plea Of guilty
and discharging the jury, Justice
Laws said he understood negotia-
tions were under way for Emmltt
to settle the income tax claim,
which was described in the indict-
ment as approximately $4,000. JUS
tice LsWs said he had been informed
that settlement had not oeen
reached and he would like to be
kept informed about this matter,
since he would take into considera-
tlon in imposing sentence the pay
ment OF the civil tax claim.
The third Warning trial, which
started Monday. ended abruptly as
testimony was about to be resumed
at the opening of court. F. Joseph
Donohue. defense attorney informed
the court that after careful consid-
Grafton and consultation with his
client. it had been decided to with
draw the plea of not guilty and enter
a guilty plea. Emmitt Warning then
stood and said, Yes" in a low tone
when the clerk put the formal ques-
ton of whether he wanted to plead
guilty to the section of the statute
which he was charged with violating.
United States Attorney David A..
Pine said he wanted to state to the
court that the civil claim for income
taxes which the Government had
made against the defendant was an
entirely separate matter from the
criminal case and that he had noth-
ing to do with acceptance of any
settlement. although he had been
consulted in the matter.
Kept Laws Informed.
Referring to the civil tax claim
and the criminal case, Justice Laws
said:
1T Is not amiss to say that YOU
gentlemen kept me informed of the
progress of the matter, and it has
been made perfectly clear that they
have been kept separate both by you
and by the court, because, while
the court is glad to hear anything
in favor of anybody at any time. of
