~ WARNING OF WAR SOUNDSIN SOVIET Moscow Press Replies to Nazi Attacks on Bolshev- ism as Army Drills. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, September 9.—Ominous warnings that “the specter of war is approaching nearer and nearer,” re- sounded in the Soviet press last night as the Red Army marched midway between Berlin and Moscow in maneu- wvers along the Polish frontier. (The German city of Nurnberg last night was plastered with placards terming bolshevism “world enemy No. 1" Huadreds of thousands of Nazis were assembled in the city for their annual party convention.) While two of the three army divi- sions in underground chambers at Minsk were working out frontier strategy, the Moscow. press boasted the Soviets were able to protect the fatherland. ‘The Pravda said: “The ominous specter of war is ap- proaching nearer and nearer. The danger is too real for one to confine it to resolutions and oral demonstra- tions. One must fight actively for peace.” The real problems of the army maneuvers began last night at the same time as residents of cities throughout the Ukraine took part in chemical air defense maneuvers. M. Goloded, chairman of the Council of People Commissars in White Russia, speaking before Marshal Klementi E. Voroshiloff, commissar of war and navy, said at Minsk: “We want Voroshiloff to inform the commissars and Stalin that White Russia, which formerly was an op- Ppressed region of Russian czarism, has now been converted into the best of republics with Socialist labor. We assure them that the frontiers of our republic are firmly locked and the keys to that lock we hand to Stalin and Voroshiloff. Only according to their orders shall we open our Zrontier.” Brown (Continued From First Page.) Prance and Great Britain in the future, ‘This zone extends, I have been in- formed, from Liberia to the Belgian Congo and includes: Independent Liberia, the Ivory Coast—at present a French colony, the Gold Coast, a Brit- ish colony; Togoland, a mandated territory; Nigeria, a British colony, and Kamerun, a mandated territory. Dr. Schacht, who is an excellent mathematician and statistician, fig- ured out carefully that this territory, enormous as it is, represents less than the value of the colonies which the Allles took away from Germany after the World War. Peace Insurance Stressed. He has pointed out to Premier Blum and to Vansittart that it would b» more advantageous for the future peace | of the world 4f Germany had all her colonies concentrated in one sector, separated from the main French colonies in North Africa by the Sahara desert and from South Africa by the enormous territory which is the Bel- gian Congo. The fact that Liberia is an independent state and a member of the League does not seem to worrv anybody in Europe very much. The colored Republic has been giving head- aches to all the important governments in Europe and to the United States, and it might be just as well “if a little law and order is brought into the country by stern Nazi discipline.” The entire territory which the Ger- mans demand at the present moment is rich in raw materials which the Reich needs badly. The geographical position of the colonies is such that | communications with the Reich could | be intercepted easily by the British | fleet in case Germany showed any aggressive intentions in Western Europe, The main sacrifice in this colonial settlement is demanded from Great Britain since Nigeria is the largest of all these territories included in| the German scheme for the resurrec- tion of her colonial empire. The British government has been informed about the Reich’s claims and has expressed for the time being no defl- nite opinion. But there are “strong indications,” it is said in Berlin, that the London government is no lopger 8s adamant cn the subject as in the past. It is willing to study the ques- tion “sympathetically” provided Ger- many is willing to make concessions in other fields—the disarmament fleld, for instance. French Main Objectors. The greatest opposition Dr. Schacht has encountered so far comes from French quarters. Blum has listened with interest to Dr. Schacht’s expose and has replied, it is reported, that there would be insurmountable diffi- culties when the matter will be brought before the French Parliament. He must be in a position, should his government show any jaterest in the suggestion to give Germany the three Prench colonies, to offer a quid pro quo which snhould make it worth while for France to abandon perts of its territories. Germany must prove con- clusively, he said, that she does not intend to use the raw materials to dominate Europe and she must agree to a substantial limitation of arma- ments, The French premier indicated that the matter could not possibly receive any consideration, as far as the French government is concerned, un- til after the conference of the signa- tories of the Locarno pact. Should that conference prove successful and should the Germans and their allies, the Italians, show a really concili- atory spirit and agree to a drastic reduction of armaments it might be possible for the French government to consider seriously the German co- lonial plan. But, Blum added, it is difficult at the “moment for any Frenchman to conceive that Germany has pacific intentions when, during the negotiations for a colonial em- pire, she has practically doubled her standing armies. Berlin Expected Attitude. ‘The opposition of the French gov- ernment did not surprise Berlin. It was fully expected.

Colonies Germany Wants ) ! VORY GOLD LOAST COAST ATLANT/IC OCEAN Germany is said to want a belt ertending from Liberia to the Congo, including Independent Liberia, the Ivory Coast, the Gold Coast, Togoland Nigeria and Cameroon. BELGIAN CONGO wanted to peg in Paris the claim for African territories. And this has been done now. Diplomatic conversations will continue in London and in Paris —more frequently in London than in the French capital. ‘The Germans know that the British want peace at any price for two more years at least. It is on Downing street that the main efforts of the German diplomats will be concentrated hence- forth. “Peace in Western Europe has a price,” say Hitler’s henchmen. “And that price is the reinstatement of the Reich as a colonial power. Great Brit- ain and France have gained enough territories after the defeat of old Ger- many. It is a small price to pay, by the cession of & few relatively unim- portant colonies to Germany.” And, as an additional argument, the Ger- man guns can be seen bristling by all those who want to look that way. o Germany (Continued Prom First Page.) leadership and military defense, stands more secure than ever before.” He contrasted “unrest” elsewhere in the world with the “peaceful” Olympic games in Germany, and added: “Even the Jewish scribes can no longer lie about us. What we have achieved we have done at nobody else’s expense. If other nations had attended to their own business there would be a stronger community of interest in Europe today.” Other governments, the Reichs- chancellor stated, had nowhere near the difficulties of Germany, chiefly be- cause of Germany’s limited soil and the density of her population. “Germany is compelled to obtain raw materials by the sale of industrial goods abroad,” he continued. “It is regrettable that the world does not understand this. “We Must Export.” “To buy one unit of fat, several units of German products must be exported ‘We must export at all costs. “It shows a lamentable lack of under- standing of our position when we are criticized for low export prices. “Had Germany not lost her colonies we could master cur difficulties more easily. A state leadership like that in Germany today would know how to convert colonies into economic success.” Germany’s standard of living, Der Fuehrer insisted, has become relatively high. However, he explained at length why wages cannot be raised just now Hitler’s proclamation also ripped sharply into communism, declaring in grave words that “bad times reign all about us.” He denounced “Communist wire- pullers” whom, he said, “we national Socialists never have feared, but against whom we always have warned others.” Stressing Germany's official sym- pathy for other so-called Fascist states, Der Fuehrer declared: “We feel our- selves bound to all countries which follow the same impulses as we.” ‘Wagner spent more than an hourl in in a tempest of applause. Toward the end of the proclama- tion Hitler mentioned the new, dou- bled, two-year military service, as- serting: “I have no doubt but that German youth will serve without batting an eye. I spent four years in the army during the World War.” Reading of the proclamation ended the day's session, pending & “cul- tural” assembly at 8 pm. (2 pm, Eastern standard time) at which Der Fuehrer himself will speak. It was expected the details of the four-year economic plan would be dis- closed at subsequent sessions of the convention. Earlier, pointing & warning finger at Spain's bloody civil war, Julius Streicher, high priest of anti- semitism, said that Germany “is de- termined not to tolerate the organized and systematic destruction of civili- zation.” Praise for Italians. Streicher, who also is Nurnberg dis- trict leader, greeted with special words of praise representatives of the “great- est anti-Communist organization”— a group of Italian Fascists who are attending the convention—and, turn- ing to Spain, declared Germany “year after year has raised its voice” in warning against Bolshevism. On a list of Nazi dead, revered by the assembled delegates as martyrs who perished in the “fight against Bolshevism,” were the names of four Germans executed recently by gov- ernment sympathizers in Spain. In his keynote speech Minister ‘Without Portfolio Rudolf Hess, with- out mentioning France by name, de- clared governments “already are un- able to enforce among their own peo- le the neutrality (toward Spain) It Your Dentist Hurts You Try DR.

A roar of heils resounded through the crowd when Hess thanked Chan- cellor Hitler for making the Nazi party and the German Army strong, “for delivering Germany from mur- der, torture and incendiarism and for making Germany a guarantor of peace.” Hess, who is the Germen chan- cellor'’s personal deputy in party af- fairs, called the first official session to order in the gigantic convention hall shortly after 11 am. (5 am,, Eastern standard time). In the center of the huge flag- draped platform sat the Fuehrer, sur- rounded by delegations of the highest national Socialist authorities. Before the party leaders 30,000 favored dele- gates who crowded the auditorium to capacity cheered and shouted their acclaim of the Reichs chancellor. Nurnberg awoke to the noise of brass bands and shrill piping of fife and drum corps. FRANCE HELD ADAMANT. Will Refuse to Yield Share in Africa, Observers Say.

Officials previously had taken the attitude that Prance would keep Togo and the Cameroons (Kamerun), man- dated jointly to France and Great Britain, at any price. But there was no immediate official comment on Hit- ler’s proclamation today. Le Temps, well-informed Paris newspaper, asid, however, of the Ger- man question: “No people will refuse to discuss a just and equitable organization of the European community on an equal footing with the German people. But no nation, even the weakest, will con- sent to bow before a peace imposed by German force.” Officials have said Prance has spent “hundreds of millions of francs” im- proving Togo and the Cameroons under a League of Nations mandate.
