Question of South Seas Protection" Is Not
 Clarified dt Present

TOKYO, July 19.-The Govern ment of the nSw Konoye Japanese cabinet has reached a decision re- garding relations with Italy and Germany, informed circles asserted today.
 This decision calls for a closer working arrangement with the Axis Powers.
 The question of whether The Netherlands West Indies and French Indo-C China will be taken under protection is still unclarified.
 It is considered however, that Japan will first attempt to have an understanding with Berlin before any action is taken regarding the South Seas.
 Foreign Office spokesman Taki- chiro told the newsmen at con- ference today that Japan's desire for the friendship of the United States will not be decreased even though the new govern m e n strengthens relations with the Axis Powers.

BERLIN, July 19. Chancellor and Fuehrer Adclph Hitler, speak ing before a specially called Reich stag. tonight addressed one more appeal to reason to England, a warning" that the World Empire will be destroyed if England insists on continuing the present fight.
 Hitler emphasized that he is not asking for peace in the voice ot victor, demanding equalization Of a vanuuished, but rather as victor proposing a reasonable peace.
 Great Assault Planned
 Hitler said: British statesmen apparently have no conception" of the destruction to be visited on Eng land if Prime Minister Winston Churchill continues to demand a fight to the finish, but one thing is sure, nc Churchill will be left"
 Hitler explained that in the case of an attempt at rehabilitation of Great Britain, the people left behind in London, after the great assault will have ideas entirely different from those of Churchill and his col leagues.
 German Russo Relations
 Touching on the German and Russian relations, Hitler emphasized these have been fixed once and for all by clear delineation of inter- eSts.'
 Recalling previous efforts to con- ciliate with England, Hitler said hlS policy in European reorganization is based on a two-fold aim, real friendship with Italy and similar relationship with England.

Tells Democratic Conven- lion, Nation, Why He
 Will Be Candidate
SUBMITS QUESTION
 TO HIS C0UNTRYMEN
Will Not Turn Back on Du- flies of Service in
 Hour of Peril

WASHINGTON, July f8.-Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt last night accepted the National Demo- cratic conventions precedent break ing nomination to third term.
 In a radio address to the con- vention from his study in the White House here, the President stressed the swift pace in foreign events as influencing his decision to accept the Democratic Party's call and at tempt to shatter tradition.
 The President said he was sub- hitting to the judgment of his countrymen all he has done to maintain the Nations peace and prepare it morally and physically for whatever contingencies that might lie in store for it.
 Great Choice in History
 We face one of the great choices in history" said the President. Tt is not alone the choice of Gov ernment by the people versus Dic- tatorship; it is not the choice of freedom versus slavery; it is along the choice between moving forward or falling back, it is all these rolled into one.
 Continuance of Civilization
 "It is a continuance of civiliza- ton as we know it, versus ultimate destruction of all that we have held dear-religion against Goddess ness, ideal of justice against the practice of force, moral decency against the firing squad, and cour- age to speak out and to act. ver- sus the false lullaby of appease- ment."
 Declaring that selfish. greedy people could not be free, the PreSi- dent asserted that American peo- pie must decide whether these things are worth sacrifices. money, energy and self.
 The President said the people would decide on the record as 1t has been made and the record as things as they are.'
 Had Planned Retirement
 President Roosevelt asserted he had made plans for retiring to pri- vate life of his own choice to be- gin next January at the conclu- sion of his second term but these plans, like so many other plans that have been made. in the world which now seems as distant as an- other planet today, all private plans and all private lives. have been re- pealed by an overriding public danger. In the face of that dan- ger, all those who can be of serv- ice to- the public have no choice but to offer themselves for serv- ice and those capacities for which they may be fitted.
 Will Not Turn Back
 Those are the reasons why I have had to admit to myself and now I state to you that my consci- ence will not let me turn my back to the call to service"
 The President said he would have to forego little trips he had planned. he will be unable to enter into any debates or make any po- litical campaign and will never be

Britain Endeavorinq
To Peg Prices 10
Workers Incomes
$500, 900, 900 Yearly Cost
May Rise if System Is
Further Extended
By WILLIAM H. sTONEMAN,

BY WILLIAM HI. STONEMAN,
Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-For exactly
two months, now, the British gov
eminent has been engaged in a gi-
gantic and costly effort to prevent
the prices of essentials from fol-
lowing an inf1ationary upward
swing.
The present cost of this effort is
approximately f1,0O0000 weekly or
ESQ 100000 ($200,000,00) yearly and
the bill may rise as it becomes nee
essary to exercise control over other
commodities which are now being
sold more or less at free prices.
In making this revelation in the
House of Commons this week, Sir
John Simon, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, admitted that the govern
ment for all practical purposes is
actually attempting to peg prices to
working class incomes. This, in
turn, seems to be a contradiction
and welcome one as far as the
proletariat is concerned-to the
governments oft-repeated refusal to
peg wages to the cost of living If
the program is maintained it will
certainly have the practical effect

OF adjusting prices to average work.
ing class incomes over a wide range
Of commodities which are essential
to sheer existence.
The government began to SUBJ
sidize the freezing Of prices for sew
eral commodities at the beginning
of December, Sir John revealed.
Before it was decided to take this
step the official cost of living index
had already risen about 10 per cent
due to such war phenomena as de-
valuation of the pound, increase IN
prices of imported raw materials
and higher shipping charges.
To a certain extent, at least, the
loss entailed by the governments
scheme has been caused by the
sale of large government stocks OF
commodities to professors and
wholesalers at prices below those
originally paid by the government
or below the prevailing world prices.
In some cases, the government may
also have given direct subsidies to
private concerns to compensate
them for increased expenses and
to allow them to hold prices at
steady levels.
While the official index showed
only 10 per cent rise in the cost
of living between September 8 and
December 1880, this does not give
an adequate picture Of the fluctua-
tions which have taken place in price
levels since the wars beginning.
Wholesale prices of basic COM
modities have risen by about 80 per
cent, food prices actually are up
about IA per cent, clothing prices by
perhaps 20 per cent and the cost Of
living as a whole by about II per
cent. These rises have been par
TALLY compensated for by an in
crease of about 10 per cent in the
average wages of 100000 persons.
