Belgian Senate Unit
Fights Over Course
To Protect Neutrality
Liberals Attack Policy
Of Extreme Coution
Voiced by Spook
BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
PARIS, Nov 4 (By RADIO The
terrible position of a little country
like Belgium, striving to preserve
its neutrality. but realizing that if
it does not take military precau-
tions in time it may prove helpless
against attack, was clearly revealed
in a stormy session of the Belgian
Senate Committee for Foreign AZ
fairs yesterday.
An extreme neutral position was
taken by Foreign Minister Paul
Henri Spaak. the same man who
was largely responsible for the Bel
gians breaking their military alli-
ance with France few years ago.
M. Spaak proclaimed that caution
must be Belgium's watchword.
The fiery Socialist. M. Rolin, then
arose and called NJ Spaak an os-
trich trying to bury his head in sand.
The only threat to Belgium, said M.
Rolin, comes from Germany, and
Germany stands a good chance of
winning the war, especially if the
neutrals continue their present meek
attitude which lis tantamount to
inviting aggression" NJ Rolin then
attacked the pro-German Henri de
Man for writing an article in a re-
cent number of the weekly publica-
ton Leiding defending Belgium's
neutrality "in a cowardly and du-
bious way
Catholics Support Rolin.
M. Rolin received support from
the Liberal Catholic Senators who
urged the government Ito enter
necessary commitments and to face
the invasion which is bound to
occur sooner or later" and there
fore to issue a stern warning to
Germany"
In the course of NJ. Spaak's expose
he confirmed the report that Bel
gium some time ago approached
Holland with the idea of trying to
work out a common attitude toward
the crisis. NJ Spaak admitted that
he had opposed this step. Germany,
he said. had promised both Holland
and Belgium to respect their neu-
trality and that Belgium had no
reason to doubt Germany's word.
M. Spaak forgot to mention the
promises given by Germany to
Austria, Czecho- -Slovakia and Poland
in turn.
He said that Belgium and Holland
could only stay outside the war
"if they did not jeopardize their
own independence by entering any
sort of facts, either with each 9TH
er or with foreign powers" He
continued that negotiations with
Holland had not come to anything.
They were carried out through
regular diplomatic channels, first
in the Hague, then in London.
Booed BY Liberals.
NJ. Spaak insisted that Belgium
could defend itself and Holland also
could defend itself, while neither
could help the other and there
fore that there was no question of
mutual assistance" He was ap-
proved by the Socialist extreme
left and by the extreme right SEN
ators and booed by the Liberals and
Catholics.
The meeting left the situation
tense, and it was even considered
possible that further consequences
might result as M. Spaak's views
are believed to conflict with those
of King Leopold and the army as
well as those of a large share Of
the public regardless of their po-
litical af1iliations.

Chicagoan Executed
By Nazis at Warsaw,
j. :. Is Informed
Germans, Even Poles,
Didn't Know He Was
An American Citizen
0y the Associated Press.

1y the Associated Press.
An American citizen serving with
the Warsaw civil guards, Josef Sad
owski of Chicago, has been executed
by German authorities in Poland.
The State Department received
word last night that Sadowski had
been convicted by rt-martial Of
concealing arms and ammunition
and executed October 20. George
Haering, Consul at Warsaw, cabled
that he had been advised by Ger
man authorities that they did not
know Mr.. Sadowski was an Amer
lean.
Mr.. Haering said he had con-
cluded after an independent inves-
tigation that the German account
''was not without foundation" He
added that Polish civil guard au-
thorities told him they did not learn
Of Mr.. SadoWski's nationality until
after the execution.
Mr.. Sadowski was born in Poland.
In Chicago, his widow, Mrs. Stefania
Sadowski, said on learning of his
death that he had been a resident
of Chicago for "a years and an
American citizen 20 years. He had
gone to Poland to liquidate an estate
lett by his father at his native
LonZa, Mrs. SadowSki said.
She said her husband had joined
the Polish-American Legion formed
in the United States by Gen. Joseph
Haller at the close of the World War
and for 18 months campaigned in
Poland against the Soviet armies.
But he was a good American
citizen!" Mrs. Sadowski said. They
had no right to kill him."
Mr.. Sadowski had enlisted in the
Polish civil guard in September and
was assistant chief of the sixth pre-
cinct of the guards in Warsaw.
German authorities informed the
consulate that Mr. Sadowski had
been found guilty of contravention
of the regulations published by the
Germans on entering Warsaw. The
German authorities said Mr.. Sad
owski gave them no indication he
was an American citizen.

that it was difficult to say" if the
negotiations would continue.
I'VE always have wanted to come
to a friendly arrangement. The
measures we have taken here
are not offensive, but defensive.")
Russia had asked Finland to cede
land north of Leningrad, in the
Karelian Isthmus, to protect" Len
ingrad, exchange islands in the Gulf
OF Finland and make other terrific
rial concessions, including a lease of
land on the southern coast for q
naval base.
Compensation Offered.
In return, Russia offered section
of Karelian Russia along Finland's
eastern border, approval of Finnish
Notifications of the Aalan Islands at
the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia
and reinforcement of the Russian
Finnish non-aggression pact with
additional mutual guarantees.
Diplomatic circles, while con-
cerned with the effect of the nego-
tiations on the northern states gen.
orally, also speculated on Soviet in
tentions toward the Balkan area, in
cluding the Black Sea.
Since the Soviet Union failed to
achieve a pact with Turkey, it was
thought likely she would try to i'm
prove her position in the Black Sea
through Bulgaria and Rumania. 1t
was noted that Britain and France
had pledged assistance to Rumania
in threat against her independ-
ence, while Bulgaria has no such
pledge.
It also was noted the Bulgarian
Minister to Moscow is in Sofia, his

This unanimous view was eX-
pressed to me by japanese Army
officers and civilian officials in off,
the-record conversations. All agreed
that so far as Manchukuo, North
China and Mongolia were con-
cerned the existing setup cannot be
substantially changed, calamitous
though it may be to American busi-
ness interests.
The Japanese were unmoved by
the telegraphic appeal of the TENT
American Chamber of Commerce
for the American Governments as
sistance. 1t is pointed out here
that the best the United States
could hope for in North China is
the removal of points of friction
not connected with the economic
bloc system. North China and
Manchukuo Japan has recently
designated as "self-suf1ciency
sphere" re-emphasizing the "im-
mutability" of economic ties.
Washington's firm and hostile at
titude undoubtedly is partially re-
sponsible for Tokio's sympathetic

applause is mixed, however, with a

JUDGE INGLIS:
 I am not anxious, of course, that 1t be done, but when counsel wants to dispose of 1t to his client what that transcription is, there is also danger that the client will not take the obligation.
 ATTORNEY CASSIDY:
 The difficulty to that whereby some statement has been made here and is contradictory to the statement in the Grand Jury minutes and the statement be- ing made now will naturally give him the benefit of that answer, I ask the court if he could say before the Grand Jury, The wit ness said so-and-so and now he said So-and-so. Now, I promise, of course, to convey only the inc formation as to the specific point that want to account for. JUDGE INGLIS:
 We'll, I think probably that you can do that, SO if the counsel de- sires to question their clients as to some specific points or point, that may be done. I think prob ably that in any event whatever you think necessary, the transcript ton is now only a record for this court, but it will ultimately be- come public, anyhow; so am not so anxious about it as I nigh, otherwise be. I think the coun- sel will assume the obligation to make sure that the transcript it. self is not seen by anybody ex- cept themselves. Then that will not prevent their asking their clients as to any specific questions which may apply in their own minds about the transcription, Do I make myself clear? COiirt adiorIrnnd
