The crewman was E. Post, tall, blond seagoing cook, and the only Netherlander aboard. In a copyrighted interview with the Amsterdam newspaper Het Volk, Post told of repainting of the ship at sea after her delayed departure from New York Aug.

(Friday) (JP) Adolf Hitler is ready to order a total war against Britain and France, but one power the United States-can yet intervene to prevent the "most gruesome bloodbath in history," foreign correspondents were told today. Emerging from a conference of several hours with the Fuehrer, Dr. Otto Dietrich. Reich's press chief, expressed his conviction to a small group of correspondents that Britain risked her "insolent reply" to Hitler through Prime Minister Chamberlain only because she relied upon the United States to support her. Chamberlain Assailed Hitler, after a three-hour word-by-word study of the Chamberlain speech of yesterday in which the prime minister rejected the Fuehrer's peace overtures, was reliably reported to have determined upon a "war in earnest" against Britain and France in the west The United States, Dr.

Dietrich expounded, could put an end to the war if she unequivocally told Britain she would not support her unless efforts to settle the problems at issua were Iirst made at the council table. Every German, Hitler's trusted lieutenant said, was enraged that Chamberlain had nowhere indicated a willingness to sit down to talk things over with Germany. Delay Hinted Hitler. Dr. Dietrich said he felt sure, would even now delay giving the command for taking up the western campaign on a gigantic scale if there was any indication President Roosevelt was likely to tell Chamberlain in no uncertain terms that he must express his readiness to meet Germany in conference.

Chamberlain's speech, he said, indicated determination to annihilate the German pecpli "Lets see who will be annihilated," the press chief added with a determined snap of his jaw. Germany, in the opinion of other prominent Nazis who joined in the conference, thus far has not even attempted a display of her air powers in the west Plans Ready Never were more than two dozen planes massed for an attack, they said. But before Modlin. in Poland, they said, 800 powerdiving bombers had been let loose. A similar number unleashed against British ships and strategic coastal points, they declared, could do untold damage.

Dietrich said that with Russia ready to support Germany and Italy willing to remain neutral or become belligerent whatever might seem better to the general staffs he considered Germany unbeatable. It would be easier, he a.cserted. for Germany to blockade England than for England to starve out Germany. Stupidity Seen Dietrich said he regarded Cham berlain's speech as one of the most stupid he had read from any statesman. He declared it was totally void of vision or comprehension of the world situation.

Oct. 12. Nearing the close of its 59th annual convention, the American Federation of Labor reelected William Green as president for his 16th term today, effected two major changes in leadership and chose New Orleans for the 1340 convention. Delegates elevated George Meany cf New York City to the post of secretary treasurer, succeeding" white-haired Frank Morrison, and named William L.

Hutcheson of Indianapolis, head of the Carpenters union, to the first vice presidency. Hutcheson replaced Frank Duffy, also of the carpenters' organization. Morrison, near 80. and Duffy, 77, were the two oldest members of the federation council, and announced they were stepping down to make way for young leaders. Duffy has been first vice president for 26 years.

A short time before, delegates were told by Homer Martin, youthful president of the Auto Workers union, that the real purpose of John L. Lewis' Congress of Industrial Organizations was to "destroy the American labor movement" and in the wake of a dramatic demonstration for Morrison, were plunged into hot debate over the 37-year-old jurisdictional war between the Teamsters and Brewery Workers union. Finland As JoininPIea That Peace Independence States threw its Scandinavian states today in her nearPfnl ration with Moscow. After United States Ambassador Laurence A. Steinhardt was closeted at the Kremlin for an hour with Foreign Commissar Vyaches laff Molotoff today, it was reliably reported Denmark, Sweden and Norway had presented identical notes urging that Finland's independence and neutrality not be threatened.

Moderation Urged Reliable sources said Ambassador Steinhardt, acting on instructions from the United States govern ment, urged on Molotoff the de sirability of making no demands which would injuriously affect Finnish-Soviet relations. (The same report came from authoritative sources in Washington. (A Copenhagen announcement said the notes of Denmark, Sweden and Norway expressed their interest in cementing friendly relations between an independent, neutral Finland and Russia.) Ambassador Steinhardt's visit to the Kremlin was paid just before Dr. Juno Kusti Paasikivi, the Finnish delegate, made his first formal call upon Molotoff to learn how the Soviet's Baltic plans affect Finland. Joseph Stalin was present at the conversation with Paasiviki.

Another conference was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Finland Hopeful Finland was known to be hopeful that American moral support would help her escape such broad military concessions as Russia already has obtained from her little neighbors, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which have become virtual protectorates of the Soviet. It was believed that Dr. Paasikivi had no power to negotiate directly. but would fly back to Helsinki to report the Finnish cabinet as soon as he learned exactly what Russia wanted.

Many observers here expected Finland to resort to war if she found the Soviet demands too bVoad, although willing to accept any reasonable" prpposals The Soviet radio announced tonight that the German trade dele gation here had "settled the questions under discussion." No further details were given, TALK STOPPED BY NAZI RADIO Finn Official Tells of U. S. Friendship in Peace Plea HELSINKI, Oct 13. (Friday) (JP) The five-minute address of Foreign Minister Eljas Erkko to the people of America was cancelled early today, a foreign office spokes man said, because the German radio refused to relay it on the ground of its "political" nature. The address was cancelled just before it was scheduled to go on the air at 1:30 a.m.

(4:30 p.m. M.S.T. Thursday). (Radio officials in New York said the German transmitter was the only one powerful enough to relay the speech from Helsinki to New York.) As late as 6 p.m., a government spokesman said, the German radio had agreed to relay the 15-minute program, consisting of a five-minute soeech by Erkko and iu minuxes oi music, to the United States.

Column 6) BRITISH REFUSE HITLER'S PEACE; PROOF IS ASKED Details of Aims Missing In Chamberlain Talk, Opposition Irked ITALIAN MOVES SEEN New Envoy From Rome Is Waited Before Full Plan Is Given LONDON, Oct. 12.

nidin sternly reiused today to make any peace with Adolf Hitler based on "recognition of his conquests and his right to do what he pleases with the conquered." Grim-voiced Prime Minister Chamberlain offered the German Fuehrer a choice between a real and lasting peace backed by "effective guarantees" or a war in which France and Britain "must persevere in their duty to the end." Almost in the next breath, however, the prime minister expressed doubt Hitler could give such guar antees, declaring to the house of commons: Word No Good "The plain truth is that, after our past experience, it is no lonscr possible to rely upon the unsupport ed word of the present German gov. ernment." It was Chamberlain's first speech since Hitler in the Reichstag last Friday outlined his ideas for a European peace and, with Premier Daladiers Tuesday broadcast, constituted the allied reply to the Fuehrer's proposals. Without fixing specific condi tions, Chamberlain said, "either the German government must give convincing proof of the sincerity of their desire for peace by definite acts and by the provision of effec tive guarantees of their intention to fulfill their Undertakings or we must persevere in our duty to the end. Choice Is Seen "It is for Germany to make the choice." As the roar of "hear, hears" died away, members of the opposition were on their feet demanding a more definite outline of Britain's war aims. Chamberlain indicated he would make another statement next Wednesday.

By then Britain will have had opportunity to receive the new Italian ambassador Giuseppe Bas-tianini who reports from Rome said was bearing an aide memoire giving Premier Mussolini's views on peace proposals and an interna tional conference. Dramatic Tone The 70-year-old prime minister read his answer to Hitler in pre cise emDhatic tones more vigor ous and more dramatic than those he usually employs. He snapped his words as he said the proposals in Hitler's speech were "vague and uncertain and contain no suggestion for righting the wrongs done to Czechoslova kia and Poland." Gripping one hand in the other he added sharply "we must take it then that the proposals which the German chancellor puts for ward for the establishment of what he calls the 'certainty of European security' are to be based on recognition of his conquests and his right to do what he pleases with the conquered." Basis Not Acceptable "It would be impossible for Great Britain to accept any such basis without forfeiting her honor and abandoning her claim that inter national disputes should be settled bv discussion and not by force. Chamberlain's voice sank low as he predicted "whatever may be the issue of the Dresent struggle ana in whatever way it may be brought to a conclusion the world win not be the same world that we have known before." Questions by members of parlia ment for a more specific definition of British war aims drew from For eign Secretary Lord Halifax the as sertion that when the members were "able to study the statement you will find perhaps that a good manv of the points that are in your minds are covered either explicit ly or implicitly." CAPITAL COLD TO GERMAN REQUESTS WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.

(JP) A German suggestion that the United States to advise Great Britain tn mppt Germany in confer ence found this capital apparently convinced that such steps were diplomatically impossible until and unless formal requests came from abroad. It was recalled that only three days ago President Roosevelt had let it be known that he had received no such requests. The fact that the German suggestion tonight was voiced by a reich official, Dr. Otto Dietrich, press chief, instead of by the previous indirect method comment in the controlled German press, made little impression in Washington officialdom. There was reason to believe that even should Germany submit its suggestion through formal, diplomatic channels additional steps would be necessary before the United States would undertake mediation.

It was assumed that this country would first sound out privately the British and French governments before accepting any peace-making role. a dline.

END FOR NAZIS IS PEACE IDEA British Terms Indicate Only Change Can Be Effective By KIRKE L.

SIMPSON Associated Press Staff Writer A stern British finger has been raised pointing Germany to a seat on the mourner's bench as the only way to peace in Europe. Prime Minister Chamberlain has warned the people of Germany that only through acts, not words, can they persuade the Franco-British allies to refrain from waging war "to the utmost of our strength." He echoed Premier Daladier's declaration that there can be no "truce" with Hitlerism. That this British fiat brings the Hitler peace offensive to a dead end can hardly be doubted. In fact the word was passed in Berlin yesterday that the chancellor would now begin war in earnest against the allies. Poland Cited Even before that decision was made known, it was obvious that German assent to the peace terms implied in the Chamberlain speech was as unthinkable as allied ac ceptance of the Hitler appeal for a peace that would recognize the partition of Poland as an irrevocable fact.

There seems no middle ground between the Hitler proposal and the Franco-British counter demand for full restoration not only of Poland, but of Czecho-Slo-vakia, and for further unspecified "guarantees" of German good faith. Unquestionably the Chamberlain reply was addressed to the German people rather than to the Nazi government. It attempted to go over the German Fuehrer's head to reach public sentiment in Germany, just as Hitler's recent speech was aimed primarily at peace yearnings arnong the people of France, England, and the world. Back to Munich In effect the Chamberlain counter-formula calls for a turning back of the clock to the days of the Munich conference. It raises, for the contemplation of Germany, the prospect of a peace of appeasement such as Chamberlain sought at Munich, but it makes plain that suitable "guarantees" must be forthcoming first.

The implication is that the only "guarantee" which could lead to suspension of war on Germany is elimination of Hitler and the Nazi regime by action of the German people themselves. Here are striking passages from the Chamberlain reply, significantly terse in contrast to the 10.000 word Hitler speech to the Reich stag: It is no longer possible to rely upon the unsupported word of the present German government." Government Rapped "What stands in the way of peace? It is the German govern ment, and the German government alone. "It is no part of our (Franco-British) policy to exclude from her rightful place in Europe a Germany which will live in amity and confidence with other nations." There are a dozen other hints that a Germany minus Hitler and Nazi methods would find France and Britain ready to meet her more than half way in a conference table readjustment of European problems. This recalls the widely-held thesis that the Franco-British allies hold first among their war aims such an outcome as will leave Germany standing intact athwart the path of the Russian bear into western Europe, blocking th road to the spread of Communism. The next few days may tell whether the "war in earnes't" which is reported to be Hitler's intention means that the German legions of land and sky are to be hurled at the allies in a tremendous offensive before winter sets in.

French Initiative Operations still fell short of i general offensive but it was indi cated the French had taken the initiative away from the Germans, The general staff's communique tonight tersely referred to the re newed onslaught as "activity of our advanced elements." Military advices, however, said the French patrols edging through the woods and over the hills of No-Man's Land between the great fortified rival Maginot and Siegfried lines had engaged in several encounters with the German advance guard. French reports said German pa trols suffered "11 of cas ualties when on the offensive, and the French very few.

The correspondents entered Qer-man territory in the forest midway between the Moselle and the Saar, where the French are holding ad vance positions and French artillery is intermittently shelling the opposing lines.

Talk Hailed On the diplomatic and political fronts, the French received with gratification Prime Minister Chamberlain's statement before the British house of commons that the allies would refuse German peace offers in the absence of definite guarantees. Premier Daladier summoned the cabinet to meet with President Lebrun tomorrow for a general review of the war and of the situation arising from statements of Daladier and Chamberlain that the next move is up to Germany.
