on the answer OF Britain and
France"
It was indicated that several days
would elapse before there was any
further German note. It was held
that 1t would take some time for the
Allied governments, and leading
neutral ones, to really digest Hitler's
speech and appreciate its full value.
But In the near future, perhaps
within a week or 50, lay the Ger
man retort to rejection of the "peac"
speech---a destructive war In which,
as a first move, the German air
force would attack the British navy
and perhaps dockyards, navy yards,
arsenals and leading commercial
ports possibly industrial cities.
Further, 1t was made known Of
ficially that the admiralty was
studying plans to intensity the Ger
man submarine campaign against
merchant shipping, now extended to
include eutral as well as Allied
vessels.
The officially Inspired German
press praised It's fuhrer,s speech as
an offer for lasting peace for Eu-
rope and the world. They also called
e his last word.
Newspapers particularly said that
after the settlement" Of the polish
question"--by Germany and Russia
Germany had no further claims
for revision Of the questions"
created by the Versailles treaty, ex-
cept as regards colonies. Hence, the
newspapers said--as had Hitler
that It would be Illogical to carry
on the war.

In rejecting peace on terms dictated
by Hitler after the conquest Of Pol
and, that the British and French
governments were eager for real
peace.
There was no indication that the
British French idea of a real peace
differed from the idea Of day before
yesterday: the end of Hitlerism and
rule by force In Europe, the restora-
ton of Poland and freedom for the
Czechs.
British newspapers in their COM
ments today on Hitler's speehc, af-
ter a thorough study of all Its i'm
plications, were contemptuous.
Terms Of a conqueror" Sick
ening hypocrisy"-''No basis for
peace here"-"For all his boasting
Hitler is afraid"-"Hitler's defiant
tone was mingled with a sort of
wheedling" Impossible as a foun-
dalton for an honorable and last
ing peace" and just plain mol" in
big black headlines, were the words
used by representative newspapers.
They conveyed the idea that Hit
Ter might think this was his last
peace offer but that in the British
and French view 1t might be his next
to last-the really final one to come
when he had had enough.

The Daily Mail reported today
that Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain might make a speech In the
house of commons Monday, reply
ing to Hitler. In any event, Cham
berlain had announced before the
Hitler speech that he proposed to
make statement on the progress Of
the war on Wednesday,.
Despite the complete dissatisfac-
ton expressed with Hitler's "offer", ,
it appeared certain that the British
and French governments would be
sure to keep the diplomatic record
straight in dealing with 1t. The
British foreign office and dominions
office began consultations with the
French and British Dominion gov
ernments as soon as the text of Hit
ler's speech had become known, to
insure coordination In treating with
it.

unanimously rejected the reorgan
ization plan as submitted by
Francis Smith because such q plaI
Is obviously designed to place con
troll In his hands. It was the unani
nous opinion Of the committee tina
any reorganization should include
substantial representation Of all To-
cal factions. The committee alst
feels that, while the state chairman
has the right to take an active in.
terest In the reorganization plan, vel
that interest should not extend U
the point where he will emerge II
absolute control of the town com.
mittee. In other words, the towr
committe- feels that the affairs Of
our party should be kept strictly 10.
cal and the function of the state
chairman should be limited to CIV
ing aid md advice, only when
sought. His domination last year was
permitted, anu the result speaks for
itself. 1t IS the aim Of the commit
tee to avoid such a disastrous re-
suit.
Atty. Lynch Says:
The reorganization group,
through Chairman ]. Gregory
Lynch, made the following state
ment:
have just been informed that
the town committee has unequi-
vocally turned down the effort OF
the reorganization committee to
effect possible reorganization.
Yesterday evening and this after
noon a joint committee consist
ing of five representatives Of the
town committee and five repre-
sentatives Of the reorganization
committee conferred.
At the conclusion of this con-
ference a list of proposed town
committeeman was agreed upon
and the representatives Of the
town committee stated that they
would urge its adoption by the
town committee. The proposed
list includes IA Of the present
members of the town committee.
1t also included nine indiyid-
uals who had previously been in
vited by the authorized repre-
sentatives of the town Committee
to become members of that COM
mittee.
It included only one person to
whom the subcommittee Of the
town committee offered any OBJ
lection. That objection was with
out Justitication and the sub-com-
mlttee WithdreW It's objection and
agreed 10 submit The entire list
with Its approval.
ANY contention that the pro-
posed list was the personal Sc
lection OF any individual Is shown
by the foregoing TO be entirely
unJustified. Three-fourths Of the
list were either already mem
bers OF the town committee or
persons previously asked by 1t to
