Hitler said "provocation" had forced Germany's forceful moves In recent years. Reviewing the Polish campaign at length, he said that a "grand success" was achieved by the German army, though western powers had tried to belittle it. He said the collapse of Poland was inevitable. It was not a Polish State, he said, and was run by a clique of landed aristocrats. Also, he said, Poland wanted to destroy Germany.

"I have pledged my word," he continued, "to discard the Versailles Treaty. 1 have pledged my word to restore Germany's rights in a modest way." Germany had found her resurrection, he said. In Nazism. Then, in his appeal for peace, he swung round the circle In Europe no demands against the neutrals of Northern Europe; no intention of changing the "inviolable and eternal" boundaries of Southeastern Europe; no demands on France.

The admiralty charged Nazi leaders with "criminal mentality" today in connection with a German warning to the United States implying an allied plot to sink the liner Iroquois. The admiralty statement commented on a message sent by Admiral Erich Raeder, commander of the Nazi fleet, to Washington saying that the Iroquois, bound from Ireland for America with war zone refugees, would be sunk In circumstances similar to the sinking of the British liner Athenia. The Nazis had charged that the British sank the Athenia to create world sympathy for the allied cause.

The Athenia, the admiralty statement said, was sunk by a German U-boat plainly seen by There were no British submarines within several hundred miles, it said. "The fact that such a suggestion should be made by the German government enables us once again to realize and measure the criminal mentality of the Nazi party leaders," the statement said. "But it Is surprising that an officer of the former Imperial German Navy, like Admiral Kaeder, should demean his uniform by lending himself to suce baseness." Hyde Park, N. Oct. 6 President Roosevelt Indicated today that his order dispatching coastguard and naval vessels to protect the S.

S. Iroquois stands by itself and does not mean that similar protection will be given other American vessels bringing home United States nationals from European danger zones. Mr. Roosevelt said he set no pre cedent in a cot it guard vessel and several destroyers to ac company the Iroquois to her home port, New York City. Seated in an automobile beside the special train which brought him here for the week-end, the Fresi dent said the speed with which he was able to act in affording protec tion to the Iroquoir presents an ex cellent illustration of why the neu trallty patrol is operating in waters of the coast of this country.

In other words, Mr. Roosevelt said, vessels capable of offering protection to the homeward-bound American passenger ship already were far out in the Atlantic, in a most advantageous position to give instant aid to the Iroquois. Mr. Roosevelt ordered the Am erlcan warships to hurry to the Iroquois after he received word in directly from Grand Admiral Erich Raeder, chief of the German navy, that the vessel was to be sunk as It neared the American coast under "circumstances" similar to those surrounding the sinking of the British ship, Athenia.

IT Hayden Evans, Wilkes-Barre Township Republican leader, has been appointed by the Luzerne county court en banc to the position of court crier at $2,000 a year. Evans was dismissed recently as chief clerk to the Luzerne County Assessors when the new Democratic majority staged a cleanout of employes in this department.

The 1936 Republican presidential candidate said he was "wholeheartedly in favor of William Allen White's suggestion that the Kansas delegation back Senator Capper at the convention next year.

Jandon's statement came in reply to inquiries as to whether he had considered seeking the nomination again as suggested by a syndicated column appearing in eastern newspapers. "As I have said every time I have been questioned, my unequivocal statement of 1937 still stands," said Landon. "The statement was made for the purpose of preventing any false interpretations regarding my position in the 1940 campaign." Landon in 1937 said he would not be a candidate for the 1940 nomlna. tion.

OECHSNER, (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Berlin, Oct 6. Adolf Hitler made lis final bid for peace today a onferenoe of nations to achieve absolute security, disarmament, and German-British friendship. The alternative, he said, was a finish fight which would be a "triumph of destruction." Addressing his Nazi Reic'istag, Hitler warned the allie.3: "If peace and security are not achieved.

this will re my last declaration. We will then fight. Neither force of arms nor time will conquer Germany. There will be no second November, 1915. shall fight and I am certain that we shall be victorious.

history of the world does not record a war with two victors. But often there have been two vanquished." Hitler said that Germany and Russia would stand together, that Nazism could not be crushed, that Germany was Indivisible. In what seemed to be a hint for an armistice, he remarked that a conference of nations such as he had proposed would be impossible "under the roar of cannon." The chancellor to.ik great pains to emphasize that he was bidding for peace not because of weakness. but because of strength. Why fight any longer? he asked.

The great nations would have to get together eventually; why not now?" Disclosing, in a review of the Polish campaign, that Germany bad lost 44,313 men in killed, wounded and missing," Hitler argaed that there was nothing further for Europe to fight for now that Germany had crushed Poland. He estimated the total number of prisoners taken by the German army at nearly 700,000. Hitler's program for European peace touched on everything from disarmament to colonies and Jews. His points included: 1 The conference of nations. 2 Disarmament, or falling that, an agreement to forbid the use of poison gas in order to reduce the horrors of war.

The important pre-condition to security and peace was a return of armaments to "a sensible and economically bearable level." 3 Solution of the European Jewish "problem." 4 Possibly a restoration of a Polish State under German-Russian suzerainty, to contain only Poles. 5 Germany now has no demands to make but for colonies, and the need for colonies does not represent an ultlmative demand. "Our only demand Is for colonial possessions fitting for and suitable for the Reich-that Is, the return of former German colonies," he said. 6 Germany will respect the neutrality of Denmark, Belgium, Jugoslavia and all other neighbors and desires only strong economic relations with them. 7 Security is' possible only on basis of German-British friend-hlp.

8If Britian and France are lighting solely to defeat Germany they can not do so, but even If they did the present situation would be the same In another 10 years. 9 The line between German and Russian Interests is clearly drawn and there Is no reason for hostilities between the Nazi and Communist States so long as they stick to their respective spheres. Having outlined this, program, Hitler said: "If peace and security are not achieved, and If the conception or Herr Churchill and his cronies prevail, then this will be my last declaration. "We will then fight. Neither force of arms nor time will conquer Germany.

There will be no more November, 1918. In German history-Hope of disintegration it our people is childish."

Twelve Isolationist senators agreed at a meeting today to vote for the rest of the administration neutrality bill if the section calling for repeal of arms embargo is dropped and cash instead of 90-day credit is provided in the title and carry section. Sen. William E. Borah, Ida-spokesman for the group, said the action was taken by the senate group in order to emphasize that their fight is primarily against the proposed repeal of the aims embargo, The isolationists met as spokesmen on both sidet ot the neutrality dispute agreed that the senate struggle would not be affected by the proposals advanced by Chancellor Adolf Hitler in his speech today. "We are still willing," Borah said, "as has been our position from the first, to accept the administration bill if the administration will leave in the law the embargo on arms, ammunition and implements of var and provide for cash Instead of credit on other commodities.

"Butv wiU- not yield to the repeal of the arms embargo, and it is not necessary if neutrality is the sole objective." Borah repeatedly emphasized that the primary objection of the isolationist bloc was to the em bargo repeal provisions of the ad ministration's bill. Borah issued his statement after an hour-long meeting in the office of Sen. Hiram W. Johnson, which was also attended by Sens. Gerald P.

Borah said he had not heard of any such plan, and said that In his opinion debate on the measure "will run along for some time." He said that he probably would speak again on the measure himself.

BORAHANDQ HERS WITH CONDITIONS POill CONCRETE By WALLACE CARROLL United Press Staff Correspondent. London, Oct.

6. The ministry of information said today peace proposals are likely to be found acceptable which do not ef- fectively free Europe from the menace of aggression." In the first official British re action to Adolf Hitler's Reichstag speech the ministry referred to the fuehrer's proposals as "vague" and "obscure." "It Is noted that the proposals contain no suggestion of repara- tions for wrongs done by Germany to other peoples," the ministry said. "Nevertheless, they will be sub iected to careful examination in consultation with the Dominion governments and the French repub lie." Other high political sources indicated that Hitler's speech failed to offer any basis for peace, "It is remembered that assurances given by the German government the past have on so many ocea ns proved worthless that some- ng more than words are required Jay to establish the confidence nich is essential as the basis for peace," the ministry said. "The speech abounds in perver slon of truth." The ministry said that Hitler's claim that humane methods of war fare had been used In Poland by rjormanv. "has been refuted by statements In Parliament and the report of the United States amoas sador to Warsaw." Hitler's sDeech was carefully Igjadied by members of Prime i.tor Neville Chamberlains war cabinet and probably will be de bated in parliament, as Chamber lain promised.

But well-informed circles ex nmanprl confidence that the govern ment and parliament as well would consider the proposals 'completely nnavonfeLhle" since they fail to meet any of the fundamental allied war aims. It was pointed out authoritatively that Chamberlain had already stat ed that Britain cannot accept mere assurances from the Nazi government In anv event, the British people, who have been Informed repeatedly that Hitler has broken his wora, were not believed in political cir cles to be willing to accept the Fuehrer's assurance that he wants nothing now except colonies. Paris, Oct. 6. France and England, If necessary, will wage total war against Germany's attempt to establish a European hegemony, Premier Edouard Daladler said today in a two-hour speech before the senate foreign relations committee.

Daladier did not comment on Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's speech before the Reichstag because the text had not arrived when the senate committee met However, he reiterated his Wednesday statement to the foreign relations committee of the chamber of deputies. He said that he would examine and submit to parliament reasonable proposi tions accompanied by Iron-clad sruarantees. But Daladier said, France would not bow to a fait accompli by vlo lence or to a diktat Highest French sources said that Hitler's proposals for the restora tion of European peace are wholly lnacceptable." They said that the Nazi Fuehrer had attempted to dictate" an end to the war.

"It has been one of the chief aims of my life to bring the German and British people together not only Intellectually, but also In their feeling of mutual respect." He praised the valour and efficiency of the French army and said: "I have never made a demand that was Incompatible with French honor or French vital Interests." The Nazi fuehrer said he had no fear of the British-French combination. Nor, he said, was he afraid of the judgment of history.

His desire to bring about a peace ful solution of European problem he said, came from a feeling of Justice and strength, not of weakness. Realization of his program, and of peace and security was possible only through the cooperation of all European nations. "In order to achieve this aim, the great nations of this continent must meet in order to work out, accept and guarantee an agreement which will give them all a feeling of security and peace and quiet," he said. If the western powers wanted peace. Hitler said, he was willing to say that he now considered the Versailles Treaty as no longer in existence, and that all German claims were satisfied with the exception of that for restoration of former colonies.

As to the past, he said, he was proud of his accomplishments. What he had brought about were readjustments In Europe, and he had never acted without first attempting a solution. Swinging again to the statement that Germany could propose peace because It was strong. Hitler said: "If I am making any peaceful overtures today they claim that it will be merely because I am afraid to take the consequences. I can say is that future events will reveal whether these statements are correct.

"Impossible statements have been circulated as to the value of the German army. The prowess of the German army, however, stands supreme, as the French and British soldiers on the western front will ascertain to their sorrow. shall continue our course, conn-dent of our Inherent strength." Part of the security problem, Hitler said, was to reorganize the world economic set-up, to give under privileged nations better access to the world's wealth. Eventually the great European nations would have to get together to solve their own and world problems, he said, and asked: Why not now? Why not now rather than after the youth of Europe had been killed off? "The history of the world does not record a war with two victors," he said. "But often there have been two vanquished." With this admonition, he added: ould the British statesmen lau to see the Issue in our iigni we sh 111 fight, and I am certain that shall be victorious.
