GOVERNMENT - GermanyNot Backing Italy, olonial Demands SPLIT OCCURS BETWEEN TWO NATIONS NOW Nazi, French Peace Agree- ment Puts World Study- ing Reported Pact CONCESSIONS ARE MADE, NEW ACCORD Foreign Ministers of Coun- fries lroning Out All Difficulties (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS) The friendship agreement be- tween the traditional enemies, France and Germany, is being stud- ied by the world, more accustomed to news regarding current warlike moves between the two nations, than of ce. Foreign Minister: of von Ribbentrop 'many and Bonnet of France today talked over the differences that might cause both nations to violate the agreement of no more war between them and renunciation of the signed pact. Nazi Position It is understood that von Ribben- trop indicated the Nazi nation will not press for any colonial demands at present nor back Ttaly's campaign for Tunisia or Corsica. It is also shown, according to reports, that Germany is lukewarm regarding aiding the Spanish Insurgents. It is understood that von Ribben- trop, in return for these assurances, wants a definite understanding that the Prance and Soviet Union mutual assistance pact is no longer opera- tive, thus Germany will feel a freer hand in pursuing ambitions in East- ern Europe where a clash might oc- cur with the Soviets. Agitation Continues The Ttalian agitation for posses- sion of Tunisia and Corsica contin- ued by anti French demonstrations in Naples and Florence where noisy bands of university students were turned back by the police in reach- ing French Consulates. Tokyo newspapers also reported today that Japan has formulated further exposition of her attitude toward foreign economic rights in the conquered regions of China and is expected to communicate this exposition to the United States and Great Britain tomorrow.

Stephen Chadwick De- dares Radicalism in U. S. Must Be Fought WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Stephen S. Chadwick, Commander of the American Legion, today called on Congress to continue the life of the House Committee investigating un- American activities and appropriate more money for “essential comple- tion of the work.” Chairman Dies said he will ask Congress for a $200,000 appropria- tion next month to supplement the ™ |$25,000 available only until Janue |ary 3. Commander Chadwick, from the mmittee’s witness stand \today, said Leglonnaires felt that “no hmdh should be placed in the com- mittee’s way.” The American Leg- | ion Chief said his organization was | concerned in the diseased conditions of “our internal affairs which if | suffered to go unchecked may cause our national destruction from with- in as completely as external danger I might from without.” The expressioi has gone out that radical elements are attempting to overthrow the United States Gov= ernment and many Government of- ficials are apparently, although in- nocently, condoning this move. ——— MRS.
