Ribbentrop Begins
Pact Negotiations
With Molotoff
Reich Foreign Minister
Hurries to Kremlin
After Arrival
* By th* Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Aug. 23.—German For
eign Minister Joachim von Ribben
trop and Premier-Foreign Minister
VyacheslafT MolotofT began formal
negotiation of a German-Russian
non-aggression treaty this after
noon.
The talks started at 3 p.m. at the
Kremlin, just two hours after Von
Ribbentrop* plane alighted here
from Germany.
It was noted that the Japanese
Ambassador, Shigenori Togo, did not
go to the airport to greet the repre
sentative of Japan's anti-comintern
partner.
Japanese circles were reported un
officially to be deeply disturbed by
the Russian-German collaboration
which has upset the calculations of
European diplomats.
Von Ribbentrop and MolotofT, with
Schulenburg also attending, still
were in conference at 6 p.m., three
hours after they assembled at the
„ Kremlin.
Formalities Are Waived.
Diplomatic formalities were dis
pensed with, and Von Ribbentrop
paused only for luncheon with the
German Ambassador. Friedrich Wer
ner Schulenburg. Even the cus
tomary official courtesy calls were
waived before the Von Ribbentrop
.Moioion meeting.
A small group of Soviet officials
was on hand at Moscow's civil air
port to greet the emissary of Russia’s
traditional political enemy.
When Von Ribbentrop stepped
from his Fuehrer's plane, the entire
« staff of the German Embassy gave
the Nazi salute.
Von Ribbentrop shook hands with
Soviet officials. Ambassador Augus
ts Rosso, representing Germany's
axis partner, Italy, also was at the
field.
Ivan Potemkin, vice commissar of
foreign affairs, was the ranking
Soviet official to meet the plane.
Von Ribbentrop was driven im
mediately in an American car to
his quarters in the one-time Aus
trian Legation.
Part Expected Soon.
That the Soviet-German pact
* would be concluded, possibly within
a few days, was accepted by diplo
matic quarters as a virtual cer
. taintv.
Von Ribbentrop's coming—by way
of Koenigsberg, East Prussia—was
unheralded in the Soviet press.
Both British and French military
missions awaited instructions from
home. Reports on the situation here
were cabled last night by the British
and French Ambassadors, both of
whom saw Molotoff individually in
long conferences yesterday.
The fact no newspapers com
mented on the coming of the Ger
man delegation was indicative of
the extremely cautious way in which
Russian was handling the delicate
diplomatic situation.
The newspapers also failed to
carry the news the British Parlia
ment had been recalled. This an
nouncement was picked up by radio
and spread like wildfire among the
, alarmed foreign colony, however.
Step to Peace Seen.
Soviet quarters continued to in
aist the way was open for both a
non-aggression pact with Germany
and a defensive alliance with Bri
tain and France. They contended a
Soviet-German treaty would go a
long way toward insuring European
peace.
In sharp contrast to the alarm
felt by the foreign colony was the
almost unnnatural calm of the av
erage Russian, who unconcernedly
pursued his daily task,
i . For one thing, the Soviet press
i was printing only sketchy reports
I from abroad. The forthcoming in
K ternational cotton conference in the
United States was given a much
bigger display than the European
situation.
The average Russian apparently
feels that if war does break out
Russian will be neutral and in a
strong and safe position. They also
are quick to point out a non-aggres
sion pact with Germany is not an
alliance.
Dewey and Missouri
G. 0. P. Chairman Confer
By the Associated Press.
* OWOSSO. Mich., Aug. 23.—Poli
tics caught up today with Thomas
E. Dewey. New York's racket-bust
ing district attorney, vacationing at
his mother's home.
Mr. Dewey received a visit from
Barak Mattingly, State Republican

closeted in a midnight conference,
but neither would discuss the con
versation.
Members of his party disclosed
that Mr. Dewey would prolong his
visit until Saturday in order to re
" ceive representatives of the Illinois
State Central Committee and the
Cook County (Chicago) Republican
Committee. The meeting is to take
place in Lakeside, Mich., in the
southwestern corner of the State,
where Dewey will be entertained

Mr. Dewey said he planned to do
Borne speech-making next fall.
Asked if the speeches would be po
litical in nature, he replied, “Pos
sibly.”

The duchess, drenched to the
skin by a rainstorm that broke over

RUSSO-GERMAN PACT MAKES EUROPE A CAMP OF QUESTION MARKS.—A new era of un
certainty overshadows Europe today, with the impending Russo-German non-aggression pact the
reason for new questions of diplomacy and power politics in all quarters. This map spots the sa
lient issues. The combined answers to these questions likely will bring the answer to the all
embracing question—will war come? Germany and the two nations with which she is working
most closely—Italy and the new “non-aggression” partner, Russia—are denoted by diagonal lines.

pact negotiations had caused a turn
about in the political, economic and
strategic status of Europe, this au
thoritative service said:
“The chances for a solution of
the present crisis therefore are
now viewed by the Wilhelmstrasse
(foreign office> as very much greater,
in so far as, together with sober
military calculations, an understand
ing for the justice of German re
visionist demands in Eastern Europe
is growing in Poland and in the
western democracies.
“Exactly in the light of the new
situation, one must judge it as an
urgent necessity for the guarantee
of peace that the German demands
be fulfilled swiftly and fully.”
Return to Bismarck Policy.
Next to columns of stories accus
ing the Poles of atrocities against
German nationals, the controlled
press declared the Nazis now had
returned to the foreign policy of
Prince Otto von Bismarck. The
Iron Chancellor's assertion, “We
Germans fear God—and nothing
else in the world,” was recalled.
The press emphasized, that the
"wise policy" of Bismarck, who first
negotiated a “reinsurance treaty"
with Russia in 1887. was abandoned
by the “most imprudent and foolish
measures” of Kaiser Wilhelm, now
in exile at Doom, the Netherlands.
German newspaper readers also
were treated to a sight which was
spectacular—considering Adolf Hit
ler's bitter fight against communism
in time past. Published side by side
were photographs of Soviet Pre
mier-Foreign Commissar Vyache
slaff Molotoff and Foreign Minister
von Ribbentrop.
Won't Open Negotiations.
It was emphasized in official cir
cles Sir Nevile’s mission was to de
clare Britain's firmness regarding
her pledge to Poland and not to
open direct British-German nego
tiations on the Danzig dispute.
Prime Minister Chamberlain re
peatedly has declared Germany and
Poland themselves must negotiate on
that.
Official circles in London said
both the French and Polish govern
ments had been Informed of Hen
derson’s trip and understood its
purpose.
On the heels of British and
French declarations of determina
tion to stand by Poland, the two
powers made ready for quick con
version to a war footing. Both ex
pected Germany’s moves and Po
land’s reaction to point the way to
peace or war in the next few days.
A number of key men who would
co-ordinate Britain’s air raid pre
cautions machinery in wartime have
gone to their posts at the control
"nerve center”—a Whitehall base
ment—and will live there until
further notice, it was learned
authoritatively today.
The home office took steps today
to place England's air raid pre
cautions on virtually a "war basis,”
effective tonight.
Arrangements were made for
s
mediate extinguishing of London's
street lights “at any time it is con
sidered necessary."
Birmingham's A. R. P. Depart
ment issued notices calling upon
householders to erect their air raid
shelters, darken their windows and
see that their gas masks are clean
and ready for immediate use if the
occasion should arise.
Visitors to Premier.
Early visitors .at the Prime Min
ister's residence included Sir Archi
bald Sinclair, leader of the Liberal
opposition, and Lord Lothian, Am
bassador-designate to Washington.
Lord Lothian later went to South
ampton to sail for New York on the
Aquitania.

P. Kennedy, who interrupted his
vacation yesterday because of the
critical situation, was scheduled to

this afternoon.
Pledged to fight for Poland's in
dependence if she deemed it threat
ened. Britain and France wanted to
know the exact effect of the pro
spective German-Soviet pact on
their guarantee, so they could act
accordingly.
With one voice the British press
expressed a national resolve to stand
firm. The Times sounded the key- I
note with an assertion Britain “has '
taken her stand and will not draw j
back.”
This was the reaction generally to
government reaffirmation of support
for Poland, decision to call Parlia
ment into emergency session Thurs
day to approve defense measures
containing virtually dictatorial pow
ers for the cabinet and calling up of
thousands of troops to meet the
growing German threat.

The extraordinary defense meas
ures to be placed before Parliament,
it was stated, would follow the lines
of the drastic World War "defense

Armour Bargaining
Conference Called
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—Henry John
son, assistant national director of
the Packinghouse Workers' Organiz
ing Committee, announced today the
management of Armour <$r Co.'s
main plant here had agreed to open
a collective bargaining conference
immediately.
P. W. O. C. officials said it was
the first time since they began their
organizing drive in Armour plants
that the company had demonstrated
its willingness to discuss the ques
tion of a collective bargaining agent.
The conference was set for 2:30 p.m.
The P. W. O. C. has been threat
ening a strike in the meat packing
industry if Armour did not agree to
negotiate with them by Labor Day.
Discussions will be confined to the
main plant, where local No. 347 of
the P. W. O. C. had been certified
by the National Labor Relations
Bioard as exclusive bargaining agent,
Mr. Johnson said.
Until a few days ago the C. I. O.
affiliate had insisted upon nego
tiating for a national contract, but,
after a conference with Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins, Van A.
Bittner, national chairman of the
P. W. O. C., announced the union
was willing to talk along local lines.

In Georgia, Says George

“He has great strength in Geor

President Roosevelt were not a can
didate, I think the majority of the
people in my State would be for

Senator George declined comment

Meantime, the British Committee
of Imperial Defense, composed of
representatives from the cabinet,
dominions and military services,
met during the morning.
Last night's statement also pointed
out “there is nothing in the diffi
culties that have arisen between
Germany and Poland which Justifies
the use of force involving a Euro
pean war with all its tragic conse
quences.’’
It also said there were no ques
tions in Europe “which should not

nations, had been removed as foreign
affairs commissar.
Deportation Was Stayed.
The Russian writer's deportation
was stayed in July at the request
of the committee. Mr. Dies said,
after its investigators had inter
viewed him about Communist or
ganizations here.
The committee yesterday heard
from Henry D. Allen of Pasadena,
Calif., a story of visits with Ger
man and Italian Embassy officials
in Washington in January, 1938.
Mr. Allen formerly was active in
the Silver Shirts of America and
was one of the sponsors of the
American White Guard, short-Uved
successor to the Silver Shirts in
Southern California.
The 60-year-old witness, who
said he had spent 40 years in Mex
ican mine explorations, testified he
also saw Fritz Kuhn, leader of the
German-American Bund; arranged
for a group of Arabs to picket the
Mayflower Hotel here while a Jew
ish meeting was being held there,
and mailed a mysterious letter to
Rumania on his trip to the East
last year.
Identity of Barkers Mystery.
Asserting the purpose of the or
ganizations he represents was to
"fight Jewish Communism." Mr.
Allen testified he had been di
rected by Mrs. Leslie Fry of Glen
dale. Calif., and financed by Con
rad Chapman, an Englishman.
The identity of Mrs. Fry and
Chapman, beyond their names, re
mained somewhat mysterious. Mr.
Chapman, it was said, had left the
country, and Mrs. Fry had not been
seen for some time. Mr. Allen freely
expressed doubts as to what their
background was.
The witness said he spent five
minutes talking with Giuseppe Cos
melli, Italian Embassy Counselor,
about conditions in Italy, but denied
he had asked for financial aid for
any campaign in this country.
At the German Embassy, he said,
he talked at greater length with an
official whose name he could not re
member. They discussed the work
of the bund, Mr. Allen related, in
cluding the activities of Herman
Schwinn, West Coast leader of the
organization.
The witness said Mrs. Fry gave
him a letter, to be mailed to Ru
mania, only after he ascertained
that a new Rumanian ambassador
had not yet assumed his post here.
He said Mr. Chapman paid the eight
or 10 Arabs who picketed the Jewish
meeting here $2 a day. The meeting,
held last January, was a Palestine
relief conference.
Statement Retracted
By Dies, Says Union
NEW YORK. Aug. 23 OP).—'The
American Civil Liberties Union as
serted yesterday it had received
from Representative Dies, Democrat,
of Texas, a telegram in which he
“retracted, in effect” a statement at

Leopold to Declare
Seven Oslo Powers'
Wish for Peace
Conference Approves
Speech to Be Delivered
After Banquet Tonight
By the Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, Aug. 23 —King Leo
pold of Belgium was charged by the
conference of seven small neutral
nations today to declare to the world
their desire for peace and independ
ence. .
The Kihg agreed to make a state
ment for the neutral bloc at 8 p.m.
tonight (2 p.m. E. S. T.) after a
banquet at the royal palace.
The text of his speech was studied
by the foreign ministers of the
“Oslo group" this morning and ap
proved in a brief afternoon session.
The conference met in the
red salon of the Belgian foreign
ministry and plunged immediately
into a study of European war
threats.
In an Old World setting of crystal
chandeliers, tapestries and red drap
eries in the modest gray stone min
istry the delegates of the "Oslo
group" assembled. The meeting was
called by King Leopold.
The ministers will return to their
posts before Fuehrer Hitler speaks
Sunday at Tannenberg.
The Belgian government'itself fol
lowed the situation closely after
army officers were reported recalled
from leave as a preliminary military
precaution.
The neutral bloc which was formed
December 22, 1930, with signature of
the Oslo convention against raising
of tariffs also was expected to study
economic problems, particularly ex
changes of supplies in case of war.
Seated clockwise round the table
from Belgian Premier and Foreign
Minister Hubert Pierlot were Foreign
Ministers Richard J. Sandler of
Sweden, Eelco N. Vankleffens of the
Netherlands, Halvdan Koht of Nor
way, Josef Bech of Luxembourg,
Elias Erkko of Finland and Peter
Munch of Denmark.
Argentina
(Continued From First Page.)
far more than it has been buying.
The favored customers of Argentina
are England, Italy and Germany.
In the 15-year period from 19i4
to 1938 United States exports to
Argentina exceeded imports from
that country by $486,900,000. In 1938
it was this country's most important
Western Hemisphere market except
Canada. Exports from the United
States to Argentina totaled $86,
479.000.
Potentialities Great.
The State Department explained
that Argentina is, moreover, “a mar
ket of great potentialities, in view
of the country's practically unlimited
capacity for economic development.”
The trade agreement is designed to
place American trade with Argen
tina on "a footing of full equality
with that of our European competi
tors.”
Acting Secretary Welles said: “Our
trade with Argentina has suffered
in recent years for lack of a trade
agreement,” and “the trade of cer
tain European countries with Argen
tina has been developing at our ex
pense under the influence of their
commercial agreements with Argen
tina.”
The State Department fixed pub
lic hearings for October 16. and
made October 4 the Closing date for
submission of briefs and for appli
cations to be heard at the public
hearings.
Held of Great Importance.
News of the success of the pre
liminary conversations with Argen
tina was viewed here ss of particular
importance because of the activities
of Germans and Italians in the
South American Republic.
Representatives of the totalitarian
governments have invaded the Ar
gentine markets and established
trade relations based on the barter
; system at the expense of the Amer
ican producer.
Meanwhile, the Roosevelt admin
istration, which hopes to be able to
preserve America's neutrality in the
event of a European war, has been
building its fences in South Amer
ica by a continuation of its "good
neighbor" policy.
Treaties in Effect.
The United States has trade
agreements with 10 Latin American
nations—Cuba. Brazil, Haiti, Co
lumbia, Honduras, Nicaragua. Guate
mala, Costa Rica, El Salvador and
Ecuador. It also has under negoti
ation an agreement with Venezuela
and a new pact with Cuba.
With regard to exchange control
in Argentina, which has seriously
hindered American exports to that
country, the State Department said:
"Imports into Argentina from cer
tain countries, with which Argen
j tina normally has an export balance
of trade, have in recent years re
ceived more favorable exchange
treatment than have imports from
the United States.
“The government of Argentina has
agreed that the proposed trade
agreement will be based upon the
principles of multilateral trade which
underlie the trade agreements pro
gram of the United States.
“The proposed trade agreement
will assure that imports into Ar
gentina from the United States will
be accorded any advantage given
competing imports from any other
source and that any governmental
regulation of imports into Argentina
will be applied in a non-discrimina
tory manner.”
Ambassador Pleased.
After the State Department an
nouncement, Felipe A. Espil, the
Argentine Ambassador, said a “broad
economic understanding” was es
sential between his country and the
United States in order that friendly
political relations might be “gen
uine and lasting.”
In a formal statement, he ex
pressed pleasure over this Govern
ment's announcement of intention
to negotiate a trade agreement with
Argentina.
Ambassador Espil said that despite
difficulties presented by “alleged
similarity” of agriculture produc
tion of the two countries, he was
confident that “We shall succeed
in concluding a treaty satisfactory
to both parties in a mutual spirit of
conciliation and compromise.”

Italy Speeds Plans
For War as Press
Hails Nazi-Soviet Pact
Many Fear It Might Start
Conflict; Requisitioning
Of Vessels Provided For
By the Associated Press.
ROME, Aug. 23—Italy speeded up
her military preparations today,
while Fascist newspapers exulted
over the projected German-Soviet
Russian non-aggression pact as
marking “the collapse of British
French encirclement."
The press termed the Russian
German decision a major victory for
the Rome-Berlin axis, but many
Italians expressed the opinion it
might precipitate war.
At the same time, a law was pub
lished giving the government drastic
power to requisition merchant ves
sels for war use.
Other preparations to make the
nation's fighting machine ready for
quick action went ahead.
Some quarters thought the calling
of additional reserves in France
would be followed by similar action
in Italy today. A large number of
reserve officers, especially of the
medical corps, was reported already
summoned.
Stalin Almost a Hero.
Premier Mussolini's Milan news
paper. II Popolo d'ltalia, said the ac
cord would have its effect also on
“certain zones in the Balkans and
Near East, which, being nearer, in
terest Italy.”
The paper warned Greece, Turkey
and Rumania—which hold commit
ments from Britain and France—
to reflect on consequences of the
pact's “strangulation” of the chances
of British-French assistance in
Eastern Europe.
Mussolini often has been credited
with wishing to bring Turkey, Greece
and Yugoslavia into the Italian
orbit.
In their exultation over the pact,
some Fascist commentators who had
attacked the Soviets for years pic
tured Joseph Stalin almost as the
hero of Europe's new turn of events.
Admire Soviet ‘Perfidy.’
Other wTiters again brought up
Soviet "perfidy,” but joyfully pic
tured Italy's enemies as the victims
of it. and viewed it with satisfac
tion, if not with admiration.
The authoritative commentator,
Virginio Gayda, recalled that Italy
had concluded a treaty of friend
ship and non-aggression with Mos
cow in 1933 and said the German
Russian decision "completes the
system already initiated by Italy.”
French Ambassador Andre Fran
cois-Poncat was expected to confer
with Foreign Minister Count Ciano
this evening.
United States Ambassador William
Phillips and British Ambassador Sir
Percy Loraine were understood to
have learned little if anything of
importance in their talks with Count
Ciano last night.
