STATE CHAMBER
WILL CONSIDER
PAN-AMERICANS
SUBJECT TO BE DISCUSSED
IN MEETING CALLED FOR
TODAY IN TAMPA: EDUcA-
TORS TO ATTEND

GAINESVILLE, Oct. 6.-The
confusion and uncertainties of the
European war are directing the
business interests of the Central
and South American countries
toward the United States as never
before, according to Dr. r. S. At
wood, director of Inter American
Affairs of the University of Flor
ida and Chairman of the Inter
American Committee of the Flor
ida State Chamber of Commerce.
DR.. Atwood made this statement
in calling a meeting Of the State
Chamber of Commerce Commit
tee to be held in Tampa today.
Because of her strategic position
in the direct line of trade between
North and South America, Flor
ida has an opportunity for furth-
ering and developing the cultural
and business relationship be-
tween the Americas.
These bright prospects give
added emphasis to the Inter-
American Educational and Gull
tural Conference to be held at the
University next April and Flor
idians must spare no effort to
make the gathering an outstand-
ing success. Better educational
and cultural understanding be-
tween Latin-America and Florida
will lead to better and more prof
liable business and commercial
relations with our neighbors to
the South of u.s., DR.. Atwood
said.
Briefly describing the confer
ence, DR.. Atwood declared it has
three broad detectives: to make
Latin American educational and
cultural development. cite r
known and appreciated In the
state; to coordinate university
work leading to worthwhile pro-
gram of student exchange be-
tween New World universities;
and to adjust courses and cur
ricula in these universities to fos-
ter four-year and graduate de-
grees majoring in Inter-American
affairs.
The conference will be attend
ed by educational leaders from
all parts of the New World.

PROJECT AWAITS
COUNCIL ACTION
DEEDS FOR PROPERTY. Of
FERED BY TRUMBo PROP
ERTIES. INC: YACHT CLUB
TO DECIDE ACCEPTANCE

City Council was presented
with a deed to some property
last night at its regular meeting,
but, for the time being, turned
down the offer.
The property is that now
owned by Trumbo Properties,
Inc, and located in either side of
the Garrison Blight cut. The of
fer was made to facilitate the
Yacht Club project to construct
a yacht basin in the blight.
What caused the Council to
hold up on acceptance of the
property was the clause that pro-
vided return of the property to
the original owners if it was not
used in two years. The city
didn't know whether that would
be satisfactory to the Yacht Club,
and until information was at
hand which would answer that
query, the matter was ordered
held in allegiance.
Water Ordinance Passed
Following the passing of an or
dinance recently to compel all
property owners in the city to
connect I'D with the new sewer
systematic City Council last
evening took action to force
similar provisions in connection
with the water lines.
The ordinance requires that all
property owners with buildings
adjacent TO the water lines be
forced to provide connecting
lines within period of ninety
days.
Both ordinances were suggest
ed by interests active to bring
fresh water lines to Key West.

|. Hitler then accused the Yer
sailles peacemakers of not having
the slightest idea of the basic
principles of forming a free state
in Poland, and then declared,
accompanied by a burst of APP
] plause, that he had given 'the
German people my word of honor
to remove the injustices of the
! Treaty of Versailles. He said the
German people had the right to
demand the return of their
colonies. and emphasized that the
Germans revenge of the treaty is
extraordinarily limited. Then he
declared. that the greatest injus-
tees of the treaty had been re-
moved.
/ Turning to the question of being
a good neighbor, the Reichstag
speaker said that Germany was
on friendly relations with Den
mark and would make no de-
Imands on her; it would continue
Ito have friendly relations with
Belgium, and that Germany has
never had the slightest trouble
with Switzerland. Hitler also
Stated that Yugoslavia had been
notified that her borders would
be respected and that the friend
Eliestsof relations exist between
Germany and Italy.
In regard to France, the. only
trouble that existed was the ques-
Iition of the return of the Saar
AREA and that has been settled. No
further demands ever would be
made on that country, Hitler stat
led, continuing to aver that he
had accepted the conditions of
fi9l9 and wishes not to see every
second generation of Frenchmen
and Germans combating in war.
At this point, Hitler made what
is considered the outstanding ut
terance of his speech. II con-
slider it the goal of my life to
bring about friendly relations
with England, he said, although
the statement was tempered by
the qualifying remark, 81 still
think there can be peace in Eu-
rope only if there is an under
standing between England and
Germany.
Der Fuehrer spoke of the peace
he has made with Russia and his
constant concern for the welfare
of his country. Considerable
comments were heard on the sub
ject of his prestige" and reports
from abroad that he was weaken
ing. Il am not coward. as his
tory will surely record. he said.
AS means to bring about solu-
ton of world problems. Hitler
stated that solution ''is only
! possible in the framework OF
universal cooperation. He said
some day Europe will have to
solve these problems" and that
"it is impossible for conference
to meet under the roar of can
nons". The Fuehrer stated lone
Of the questions is the clarified
ton of ornaments, gas, subma-
rines, etc..
The conclusion of the speech
dealt on the problems that must
| be solved. the Jewish problem
and the Polish problem. 'The
German people consider that the

demand the return of Germany's
colonies. Herr Hitler stated.

brilliant and fanatic leader OF
Germany, told the German Reich
stag today that he considers it the
goal of his life to bring about
friendly relations with England.
The Fuehrer said he thought
there would still be peace in Eu-
rope if there is understanding
between Germany and England.
Germany people do not consider
the Versailles Treaty as existant,
he said, and declared that Poland
would continue under German
and Russian control. The Nazi
leader shouted that most of the
injustices of the Versailles Treaty
had been righted.
Eighty million Germans had
awaited the Fuehrer's speech with
uncertainty. Factories, offices
and businesses in general were
ordered closed for its duration,
Thousands of loudSpeakers were
set up all over Germany.
Running translation of the
speech follows: i
"This nation is celebrating a
great victory, Fuehrer Hitler
told the German people. after
two weeks the greater parts of the
Polish army had been destroyed"
The Fuehrer said he had given
orders not to sacrifice lives need
lessly, but that the Polish govern
ment forced this on its troops. He
said the whole city of Warsaw
had been turned into fortress. 5
Hitler extolled the courage of
the German soldiers and told of
the countless prisoners they had
captured. German losses, accord
ing to the Nazi leader, were TO-
SGT dead, with 90, GOO wounded. .
'.AH Polish economic problems
had to result in war;, he declar-
ed, and further "the minorities
in Poland were barbarously
treated.
Hitler ridiculed the hailing of
the Polish state as a democracy.
He said only so percent of. the
people backed up the Polish
regime. "In 1933-34, / made every
effort to bring about an agree
ment with Poland but the govern
!ment rejected all pleas, he said.
Since 1922 millions of Germans
had to leave Poland and every
attempt to solve this problem was
met with reverses by the Polish
government, the Fuehrer stated.
He said that Poland could afford
to refuse negotiations because il
was backed up by England and
France.
Hitler shouted that journalistic
warmongers claimed the German
army was utterly inefficient. but
said that this opinion is not shared
by any English general.

working agreement between Ger
