Military forces of France. Bel

For the moment, there were I
hints of encouragement from th<> j

that the government stiffen its
stand immediately against threats

Thus, coincident with yester

NEW RECOVERY
BORROWING IS
NOW IN SIGHT
National Debt Will Exceed
38 Billions at an
Early Date
WASHINGTON, Sept. R. lHP>
— Secretary <>f thr Treausry Hon j
ry Morgenthau, Jr., announced
last nijrht that the government,
will jno into the open market this
month and borrow $700,000,000
in "new money" to help finance ,
the recovery program.
Morgenthau said that tho |
amount to he sought is "about,
one-third of the new money which
the treasury expects to borrow
during: the coming fiscal year." j
The figure was a surprise inas
much as fiscal experts expected it
to be no more than $.">00,000,000. f
He would assign no specific rea- j
son for the $700,000,000 figure
other than to say it was for re- j
covery purposes. He also pointed
out that the market for borrow
ing is favorable.
The issues will be in two lots, j
he said, the first of $-100,000,000 ;
offering of 12 to 14 year, 2.5 per-1
cent bonds of 1950-1952. The
other will be an assue of $300,
000.000 of one and one eiffhth ■
percent reasury notes, due June
15, 1943. j
At the, same time me treasury
will refinance $433,000,900 of,
notes, series E-1938, maturing!
Dec. 15, this year.
The borrowing will uo into the
treasury's cash box to he used for i
ordinary jrovernment expenditur
es, Morjjanthau said. Government
cash on hand amounts to $1,620,
000.
It will have the effect of in-1
creasintr the public debt, now
standing at $37,628,20R,920, to 1
an all-time hijjht of around $38,
300.000,000.
President Roosevelt estimated 1
the public debt will r««ach $10,
*>.->0,000.000 by next June 30. An
uncertain factor in both budget j
estimates and borrowing is the
influx of pold to this country
for war-frightened European na
tions.

Westerners With Six Shooters
Hunt Bandits Who Robbed Stage
Coach Line Of $38,000 In Arizona
TAYLOR. Ariz., Sept. 8. (IJP)
— Westerners, heavily laden with
six shooters, galloped their horses
through the canyons and timbers
twenty-five miles south of here to
day seeking the first stage coach
bandits in a generation.
The bandits held up the stage
—now a truck, rathe r than a
horse-drawn v e h i c 1 e—in the
White Mountains and looted the
mails of $38,000. It was a rob
bery after the ancient tradition,
though in modern dress.
The truck carries the mail and
passengers over the stage from
| McNary, Ariz., a railroad point,
to Holbrook, Ariz. Yesterday Jos.
Ison drove it around a curve in
Bull Hollow Canyon and was con
fronted by an automobile placed
i crosswise on the road. He had no
5 choice but to stop. Two bandits,
masked in the by-gone way, six
1 shooters in hand, stepped out of
I the car.
Onp bandit forced Ison and his
brother, Bob, to turn their backs
and reach for the sky while the
other went through the mail bags.
He found the $21,000 payroll of
the Southwest Lumber Mills and
the Lee Mercantile company at
Holbrook and $17,000 for the
Fort Apache Indian reservation.
They then tied the Ison broth
! ers hand and foot and escaped in
their own automobile which was
found abandoned later at Show
low, Ariz. It contained burglar
tools and explosives.
The bandits were even in cos
tune. They wore dungaree trous
ers, as ranch hands do, shirts that
were open at the collars, and big
j felt hats.
The stage truck and its predec
1 esor, the stage coach, have been
carrying the payroll every week
for twenty years. Yesterday's was
i the first robbery.

the income from such lines will

CZECHS SCORN SECESSION
HINT; WOULD BATTLE FOR
"EACH INCH OF TERRITORY"
Retort Made to London "Peace" Balloon; Would Give
Germany Ultimate Goal of Union
LONDON, Sept. 8. (UP) —
—Czechoslovakia last night re
torted with a promise to "fight
for every inch of our territory"
to British hints that secession of
the Sudeten area and its incorpor
ation in the German Reach may
be necessary to avert a European
war.
The suggestion of secession,
which would bring about the ulti
mate German coal of "Anschlus,"
appeared in the unfluential Lon
don Times which normally reflects
the views of important elements
within the British government.
It has been known for some
time that some sections of Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain's
government favored secession,
perhaps by means of a plebiscite,
as an alernative to a war in which
Britain would be plunged on the
side of France because of the lat
| tor's military commitments to
Czechoslovakia.
The Times' editorial caused ex
citement in Europe's capitals. It
was intensized when Lord Beaver
brook's Evening Standard also
carried editorially the suggestion
of secession.
In Prague, where the Sudeten
German minority crisis took a
graver turn as result of the Sude
tens' "suspension" of considera
tion of the government's new of
fer of concessions, the British
hints were met with indignation.
The government of President
Eduard Benes, it was learned,
made quick representation re
frardinjr the editorials to the Brit
ish legation in Prague.
"If necessary we will fight for
every inch of the territory within
our hundaries," said a govern
ment official there, indicating!
that Czechoslovakia would fight

BRITISH LABOR DEPLORING
WEAK GOVERNMENT POLICY
Demands Parliament Be
Called at Once to Con

nf.ACKPOOf,, Entr., Sept. «.
— Officials of the trades union
emigres* and thp labor party, in
a joint statement last night., de
nounced Gorman's Czech policy
and demanded that Parliament
Ik* summoned immediately to con
sider the International situation.
"The whole world stands today
on the brink of war," the state
ment said. "Appalling, irreparable
disaster threatens the foundations
of our civilization because of un
restrained violent display of mil
itary force by aggressor states.
"In so grave and imminent a
crisis the British labor movement
is compelled to place on record its
rgcret that so heavy a responsi
bility for this stiuation rests upon
the indecisive, misdirected policy
of the British government these
last seven years . . .
"Failure to recognize the in
visibilty of peace is emphasized
anew in the threat of Czecho
slovakia. The fate of the world is
involved in its outcome. No state '
in post-war history has a better:
record in ordered Democratic
government than Czechslovakia.
No state has treated its nationali-1
ties more honorably. It is making
a generous offer to satisfy their \
fullest aspirations. Acceptance of
this offer would remove any legi-'
timate grievance now under dis
cussion.
"Should the German govern
ment despite this make war on )
Czechoslovakia, it will brand it
self a traitor to humanity. Its
provocative mobilization and un
truthful press campaigns impede

Hitler's attitude came a* *

"Czechoslovak Hitler," to exa''
the fullest possible measure of

British support of the Czechs is

secretly here last night, in th *
midst of the panoply of th»: ten'h
annual Nazi Party Congress, on
the dangers arising from fn- li
outbreaks of violence between
Czechsa and Henlein's Sudeten
German cohorts.
Henlein vas ready to hurry

situation growing out of what th ■
Sudetens and their Nazi support •
ers called "Czech terrorism" an<1
a collapse of the Prague govern

It was understood that Hitlei*
and Henlein had agreed upon **
plan for dealing with the situ*

Hitler was expected to meet
British Ambassador Nevile Hen
