Canadian Copper and Resin Aid British Munition Makers By HAROLD FAIR, Candlaa Trm Staff Writer.

SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND. Nov. 17. Canadian copper and resin are playing a vital part in the mighty British effort to produce an endless flow of ammunition. The role of both was displayed In a visit to a huge shell factory which is turning out vast quantities of all types.

Copper is essential for the bands of the shellbase. It is necessary for firing. Resin is used to solidify shrapnel in shell tip. Round shrapnel bullets resembling bulls' -eyes in the candy shop are carefully weighed and dropped in the shell. Resin is poured in from a teapot.

"Japan is sincerely anxious to ameliorate relations with the the' spokesman asserted.

The main questions before the two countries are the demarcation of frontiers on the Asiatic mainland and Japanese fishing rights in Soviet waters. Some observers said they believed Japan might use the prospect of friendship with Russia at a to put pressure on the1 United States and vireat Britain or straightening out her problems with them.

It would invite retaliation for every bomb dropped on British and French soil and would breed hate for Germany which would prove to be an irresistible force in the end. Threats of Meanwhile the German Government contents itself with threats of They do not alarm the British people who see In them evidence of German weakness and dissension.

When asked if Britain intended to make any threats in return, military authorities today exclaimed; "Certainly not. We must preserve our dignity in this and: "We wish to retain bur status as gentlemen." i But just the same they pointed out that international law releases a victimized country from re-straints if its rules are broken by another nation. There can be no doubt that if Germany uses gas, Britain and France will use gas, just as they did in the first Great War. It Is equally true that pre vailing winds blow from France to Germany, so Germany Would be the ultimate loser. Sources close to the British Government claim there is considerable clvlo dissension In Germany which can be cleared away only by military successes.

They do not believe this unrest Is dangerous to the Nazi regime at present, but a few more weeks of military inactivity and naval blockade will be bound to Increase It despite the Gestapo, the concentration camp, and Government propaganda. British Government sources in sist there is nothing like the solidarity in Germany there was in 1914. There are many contributing factors to this, Including the Russo German agreement, the financial position of the country, strict rationing, the disappearance of all civil liberties and the domineering, crushing regimentation of the Nazi regime.

16. (C.P.-Ha-vas.) -A strong movement among German army generals to scrap Nazlism and substitute a "reconstruction" Government which would achieve peace and grant freedom to the countries engulfed by the Greater Reich was reported today by the Zurich correspondent of the newspaper Le Journal. 1 The correspondent, Georges Blun, said many' Nazis were sup porting the generals' belief that National Socialism was outmoded. Party- members looked for the early ousting of Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop because he "betrayed" their cause by engineering Berlin's pact with Moscow. The new Reich Government, in which von.

the Allies on the belief the Reich had more to gain around a conference- table than from a test of arms, the correspondent said. Under the terms of the projected peace settlement, Blun said the German generals' goal "would be the establishment of a new Europe permitting continued existence of the great German Reich. The Reich would keep the1 Sudetens, but would permit the Austrians to declare freely as to their own The dismembered Czechoslovak state would be reborn, as well as Poland, although the latter might not be given back Its old western frontiers. The Journal's correspondent reported that von Ribbentrop was "in very bad standing" and that Adolf Hitler already had "consult-, ed a number of times with von who was von Ribben-trop's predecessor in the Wilhelm-strasse.

The generals "believe that Nazi-ism has finished its time and that the moment has come to replace it by a reconstruction and purification regime. The generals seem to think it better to talk with the democracies around the- green cloth than to return to a test of arms, since it Is evident the block ade is doing its work. "This is what justifies the re newal of activity observed among the monarchists, who today constitute, after only two months of war, the most powerful party of the Reich of; the future."

President Emll Hacha, of the protectorate Government, was: being detained because he refused dissociate himself with Czech patriotic activities abroad. Still another report said all Czechs who fought for their fellow Slavs against German occupation of Poland would be shot if captured. If the Nazis had onfy such relatively minor incidents to deal with, it probably would not be sufficient reason to cause Adolf Hitler to hold back in the west.

But it is another drop in the Nazis' bucket of trouble in their eastern hinterland. Occupation of Poland following subjugation of the intensely nationalistic Czechs brought the Greater Reich a simmering mass of hostile peoples along with their territory. At the best under conditions of peace the Reich would have hnd its hands full keeping these peoples in check while their gains were consolidated. When the Nazi strategy backfired and Great Britain and France declared a state of war, the Reich leaders faced, a war on the west and' threatened! upheaval on the east if their vlligance there was relaxed. Meeting, this with the share-the-spoils pact with the Soviet Union failed however to bring any degree of tranquillity either by scaring off the Allies or securing the east.

The Nazi leaders scarcely can have any such illusion as that Czech dissension will pass. It broke out first In the middle of the last century the benevolent Austrian regime, official posts were taken from the dominant German group in Bohemia and given ov8r to the Czechs. It until the first Great 'War brought shortlived national Independence in the Czecho-Slovak republic. Hitler's regime Is faced with the fact that once the vigilance of his authorities is relaxed.) the Czech struggle for integrity will be fought again. i MRS.
