HULL SAID FEELING

WASHINGTON. Sept. •"». M'l'M
— Relations between the United
States ami Mexico were believed
straine I to the break -ig point to
ilay after Mexico had curtly re
jected Secretary of State Cordel
Hull's demand for payment f«»r i
expropriated. American - owned
farm lands.
Replying to Hull's sharp not'
of August 22. Eduardo Hay. Mex
ican minister of foreign relations,
in a communication dated Septem
ber 2 and written on behalf of" !
President I.a/aro Cardenas. sa:'i
in effect that the I'nited States
demands are illegal, implausible |
and illogical and reiterated that
Mexico intends to continue her |
expropriation policy regar/lies« of
domestic or international reper
cussions.
The note made only one conces
sion. It said that Mexico accepts
Hull's proposal for a bi-latera!
•om mission r•» determine mt- \»u.n

erms for payment thereof, hut
vith the reservation that .Mexico
vill pay when, and if. she can.
This, in substance, rebuffed -.'very
lompromiw proposal made by the
Jnited States.
Hay cited numerous ruling:- in
nternational law as well as con
titutional requirements in Mexico
md other countries to uph«>l»l he
outhern republic's contention but
it no point did he signify Mex
co's willingness to accent Hull's
dan for arbitration or his sugge*
ion that Mexico impound funds
>eriodica!ly to reimburse Ameri
an claimants.
The communication was, in
•art. a reiteration of CardenaV
peech hefore the Mexican coii
rress last week in which he -aid:
'The continuation of thi< di-cus
ion would benefit only the inter
acted and traditional enemies of
my good understanding between

wstrated by the costly, violent
md insidious campaicn which is

n the I'nited States and in which
t is attempted to ignore that each
wintry has different problems
ind different means of solving
hem and that only a lofty, his
orical. social and human com pre
tension would interpret the true
ense of reciprocity which should
,'overn a fruitful and sincere
ri^ndship between the nations."
The note left the nevt move
quarcly up to Hull and President

"War Defense" Measure
Pledged Preliminary to
Attack Oil Tydings
NF.W LIBERALISM TALK
SET 2 P. M. TODAY
SALISItl'UY. Md., Sept. -
(I' I') President Roosevelt ioday
carried his fight to unseat Senator
.Millard K. Tydings into the heart
of Maryland'.-* ultra conservative
eastern shore when*, at Denton,
at 2 p. in.. In- will restate his phi
losophy of political liberalism and
again call for the election of for
ward-looking candidates.
The chief executive planned to
stop ashore at this little town in
the forenoon and campaign sev
eral communities as a preliminary
to his major address which will he
broadcast to the nation.
The president, entering Mary
land in his drive to defeat con
servative Senator Tydings, Sun
day delivered a surprise address
in which he stressed the impor
tance of improving coastal com
munications as a war defense
measure.
Speaking; to a small crowd which
greeted him before he hoarded I he
yacht Potomac iti preparation for
his Labor Day speech at Denton,
Mr. Roosevelt promised construc
tion of a $.'L"»00.ftO() bridge con
necting this town and Tidewater,
Ya.
"There is one other phase <>f
this proposed bridge across the
Potomac and of the other bridge*
that are proposed further up the
Chesapeake. and that is the phase
of national defense," he said.
"It is very important in think
ing of national defense to see to
it that the borders of the T'nited
States, the portions of the 1'nited
States that lie fairly close lo the
seaboard, shall have proper access
in event of war, access for the
conduct of defensive operations."
He said lhat the entire Chesa
peake Pay area is a "daily vital
leak in our national defense ;nd
the more that we can do In im
prove communications in these
areas in peace time, the more in
surance we are taking out in 1he
event of some possible future in
vasion."
The president's speech was ex
temporaneous and surprised ol»
servers who had expected him to
speak of politics here, if he spoke
at all.
"I have been talking with your
representative—with the governor
of the rtate (Harry VV. Nice, Re
publican. who also accompanied
the party)—and I think we are
all in one feeling that this pro
posed bridge is one of the things
that has got to be done just as
fast as we can possibly do it,"
Mr. Roosevelt said.
"And so I hope to come back,
perhaps before I leave Washing

of the starting of the bridge across

Pan-Arabism, Sponsored By Britain
To Defend Near East Interests, Now
Is Menace Of Rising Nationalism
By JACOB SIMON
(Copyright, 1938, United Press)
JERUSALEM. Sept. 5. (UP) —
Pan-Arabism, sponsored by B'-'
tain for .'JO years to protect her
interests in the near east, has
proved a boomerang: in Palestine,
a United Press survey showed to
day.
In five years it has cost more
than 2,400 human lives, 6,(i00
wounded and property damage es
tifated at $22,500,000.
British costs for policing Pales
tine. without which these figures
would have been multiplied many
times, amount to $35,000,000 for
the period.
Palestine, ruled by Britain un
der a League of Nations mandate,
is of relative minor importance in
the Arab world, but only here has
the Arab Nationalist movement
been able to become a serious po
litical power. The Arabs, claim
ing the Holy Land, resent bitterly
the thousands of Jewish settlers
and have voiced their resentment
with bombs and guns.
BRITISH-FRENCH POLICY
BEGUN IN 1908
As far back as 1908 Britain,
and France, began promoting a
Pan-Arab movement to oppose the
power of the Turkish and Imperial
German empires in the middle
east. This movement resulted dur
intr the World war in tne Aramc
revolt jigainst Turkey, fomented
largely by the late Col. T. E. Law
rence. and led to establishment of
the various post-war Arab states.
Again in 1921, at the middle
eastern conference which Britain
held in Cairo and Jerusalem, a
definite line of policy was resolved
towards the Arabs. It was decid
ed to promote Arab nationalism
and the Pan-Arab movement on
the grounds of expediency; name
ly, that if such a movement were
not created and supported in Brit
ish interests, some other power
might do this in their own inter
ests.
The British permitted the growth
of Pan-Arabism in the Holy Land
to help keep the Zionists in check,
but Pan-Arab leaders throughout
Arab countries used this license
for their own purpose of building
up an anti-British, anti-imperialist
movement actually by permission
of the British.

PEACE HANGS
IN BALANCE
AS NAZIS MEET
Germans Want All Czechs
Out of the German
Sudeten Area
SEPT. 12 MAYBE
DEADLINE OF ACTION
•
By EDWARD W. BEATTIE
United Press Staff Correspondent j
N UK KM BE KG, Germany, Sept. |
">. (UP) — Deafening "Heils!" I
from tens of thousands of nazis I
last nitrht greeted Konrari Hen- !
lein's Sudeten followers from ]
Czechoslovakia as they arrived to
join 800.000 Nazi stalwarts for
the annual Nazi party congress,
opening here today.
To this turreted old citadel, its
red roofs and gables obscured by
bunting and fluttering Swastikas, i
the* whole world looked for Reichs
fuehrer Adolf Hitler's answer that
may point the way to peace or
war in Europe.
The sixth annual congress, be
fore which Der Fuehrer will speak
several times, has been dedicated
to Hitler's "gross Dcutschland"—
his bold annexation of Austria—
but the arrival last night of the,
Sudeten Germans in special buses
from the Czech border only 60
miles away made it clear that the j
big topic will be Czechoslovakia.
Whatever Hitler's plans may be
in regard to the Czech minority (
crisis—further negotiations, an |
ultimatum or perhaps a compro
mise—will not be known until at,
least after Tuesday when District!
Leader Adolf Wagner of Bavaria i
issues the Fuehrer's proclamation.
Many Nazi leaders believed that
Hitler would keep the world at its
pitch of "war jitters" for another,
week and might not discuss his'
ambitions regarding Czechoslo-;
vakia until his last speech to the;
"Parteitag" at the closing session
on Monday, September 12.
That would be only three days
before the date that has come to
be generally accepted as the I
"deadline" for a peaceful compro
mise between the Prague govern
ment and the 3,500,000 members
of the German minority. Great i
Britain has promised that, if the
minority deadlock is not broken
by mid-September, she will put
forward a plan of arbitration. *
Hitler will arrive this afternoon ■
for the welcoming ceremony at
the Nuremberg city hall and the ,
Nazis that thronged cafes and
beer halls last night also eagerly
awaited the arrival of Henloin, I
the "Czechoslovak Hitler."
Henlein, whose presence here .
will emphasize the third Reich's]
support of the Sudeten autonomy
demands, is expected to attend at
least a portion of the program.
The congress will get underway
today when the propaganda min
istry holds its annual reception to :
the foreign press. j
Nuremberg's bells later will 1
peal and Hitler will ceremonious
ly proclaim the rally in session at
the great hall or Pathaus. There
will be a festival performance of
'Die Meistcrsinger Von Nurcm
berg" at the opera house in the
evening.
HITLER FORMALLY
BACKS SUDETENS
PRAGUE, Sept. 5. (UP).— i
Sudeten German Leader Konrad
Henlein announced yesterday1
through his chief lieutenants that I ,
he and Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, in |
their Berchtesgaden meeting Fri- j
day, agreed that there can be "no
retreat" from Hcnlein's eight- |
point autonomy demands.
The militant stand of the "two
Fuehrers" in proclaiming that
Henlein's Carlsbad program for
local self-government among the
3,500,000 Sudetens represents the
minority's "minimum" demands
was announced at a series of har
vest festivals in the Sudetenland.
The Sudeten party leaders, as
serted that "the Reich's Germans
headed by Hitler are completely
us one" in supporting the minor
ity demands, also demanded that
all Czechs immediately evacuate
the Sudeten German areas.
The speeches broke an oratoric
al tryce that had existed for sev
eral weeks between the govern
ment and Henlein and constituted
that first formal declaration that
Hitler and the German people arc I
behind the autonomy demands.

PARIS, Sept. 5. (UP).—All
army and air-force furlough"
throughout Franco have been can
celled, an unimpeachable source
revealed, as Germany poured
troops into her Siegeried lino,
facing the French Maginot line
on the French-German border.
The navy was not affected by
the order but naval authorities
are ready to call men on leave in
case of an emergency.
The Maginot line is fully man
ned, all leaves have been cancell
ed and special reservists were
moved up to support 150,000 de
fenders of the 200-mile line of
fortifications.
The sudden cancellation of
leaves and furloughs was taken a*
a counter-measure to Germany*,

ranged variously at between 00.

bank of the Rhine behind the New

BULLITT HINTS NEW
U. S. PEACE MOVE
BORDEAUX, France, Sept. 5.
(UP).—United States Ambassa
dor William C. Bullitt yesterday
publicly assured France that th»
United States is standing at her
side an defense of peace and
might be forced into war again
in event of a general Kuropean
conflagration.
Bullitt's pledge, coupled with an
attack on nations directing all
their energies toward prepara
tions for war, was in response to
rt ringing appeal from French For
L'ign Minister Georges Ronnet. for
help from the United States in the
maintenance of peace.
"We hope and pray that we
may remain at peace with every
nation in this world, but as I sug
jested on February 22, 1 937, if
war should break out again in
Europe no human being could un
rlertake to state or prophesy
whether or not the United State.,
would become involved in such ;i
war."
French diplomats interpreted
Rullitt's statement as a clear-rut
warning to Germany that the
S'azis can not count on American
neutrality in event of war.
The ambassador, they said. writ
so far as any American diplomat
:>r official eolld possibly have
rone toward warning Fuehrer
Adolf Hitler of the creat and
grave responsibilities he would
ncur shouid he resort to arms in
solving the Czechoslovak crisis.
Bullitt spoke at the foot of an
mposing 250-foot shaft of gran
te, commemorating 161 years of
Franco-American friendship, con
structed at the mouth of the Mi

American doughboys arrived 21
