Still Unperturbed
(By The Associated Press)E
Soviet Russia yesterday decreed that
the price of France's capitulation to
Hitler was isolation, with Britain her
sole ally. The semi-official Soviet
newspaper Le Journal de Moscou
served notice that the U.S.S.R. no
longer regarded herself as an ally of
France.
British government circles who one
week ago hastily took advantage of
the Franco-Soviet mutual assistance
pact to align the Red Army in a "Stop
,Hitler" front in the event of war, re-r
Iained unperturbed.
Meanwhile, foreign circles in Mos-
cow pondered the whereabouts of
Marshal Vassily K. Blueclier, coin-
mander-in-chief of the Far Eastern
Army, who has been variously re-
ported as being traisferred, demoted,
and even arrested.
MOSCOW, Oct. 4-(P)--The semi-
official Le Journal de Moscu said to-
day that France no longer has an ally
in Europe except Britain, and that
the value of that alliance is very
doubtful.
Discussing the four-power Munich
settlement of Sept. 30, the paper says,
"International public opinion now
says what is the value of France's
work-the value of her pledges to the
U.S.S.R. and of the Franco-Soviet
pact?
"The fact is that France, on her
own initiative and without consulting
the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
lics, has already annulled the Czecho-
slovakia-Soviet pact which was a,
corollary of the Franco-Soviet pact.
"What now is the value of the lat-
ter pact since France has just torn
up her treaty with Czechoslovakia--
a treaty which bound her much more
strongly?
"It has done that at the very mo-F

NEW YORK, Oct. 4-(A')-Italy
gave notice today it would be ready
next spring to start its airliners shutt-
ling across the North Atlantic.
In a Wall Street building high above
the turbid East River, Dr. James H.
Kimball, the man who gave Charles
4A. Lindbergh the signal to take off
for Paris in 1927, drew a weather map
to indicate a future route of trans-
port planes to Europe.
The route will be used jointly by
Ala Littoria, the Italian airline, and
American Export Airlines. subject to
the approval of the new Civil Aero-
nautics Authority.
The significance of the weather
map, said W. H. Coverdale, president
of the American company, lay in its
having been drawn from information
supplied by nine Amercan steam-
ships and five Italian liners.
Kimball called it the most nearly
perfect Atlantic weather forecast ever
made.
Colonel Pezzasi said that the four-
motored, 65,000 pound 'eaplanes
which Italy proposed to use would b
capable of carrying passengers but
that only a mail service was contem-
plated at first.

On Czech Land'
Four Guarantees Asked
Before Conference At
Komaro*r On Thursday
BUDAPEST, Oct. 4--(P)-Little'
Hungary, eager to regain territories
of which she was stripped by World
War treaties, tonight pressed the
Czechoslovak government for immedi-
ate occupation of some Hungarian
zones of Czechoslovakia.
In a note to the Prague government
proposing a conference to discuss the
minority claims be held Thursday,
Hungary demanded that before the
talks begin Czechoslovakia first must
give these guarantees:
1. Hungary must be allowed to oc-
cupy, as a symbol of the return of
territories in which 800,000 Hungari-
ans live, two border towns andncom-
munes.
2. All Hungarian political prison-
ers in Czechoslovakia must be re-
leased.
3. All'Hungarian-speaking soldiers
in the Czechoslovak army must be
sent home on leave immediately.
4. Local police and troops must be
created in the Hungarian zones under
a mixed command.'
Hungary proposed that the claims
be discussed at a conference at 4:00
p. m. Thursday at Komarom, a town
on the Danube 80 miles west of Buda-
pest, part of it in Hungary, part in
j Czechoslovakia.
There were unconfirmed reports
tonight thatrthe Czechoslovak auth-
orities were evacuating the Hungar-
ian-populated border regions along
the 450-mile frontier.
Daladier Granted

(By Associated Press)
Sir Thomas Inskip, Britain's De-
fense Coordinating Minister, said in
the House of Commons yesterday that
Britain would feel morally bound to
aid Czechoslovakia in event of unpro-
voked aggression, although technical-
ly Britain's guarantee of her integ-
rity was not yet in operation.
Britain's Chamberlain and France's

for his part in the Munich peace con-
ference, and yesterday each was seek-
ing to renew friendly relations with
Italy's "Mussolini.

LONDON, Oct. 4--UP)-Sir Thomas
Inskip, Defense Coordinating Minister
told the House of, Commons tonight
Britain would feel morally bound to
aid Czechoslovakia in event of un-
provoked aggression although techni-
cally Britain's guarantee of her in-
tegrity was not yet in operation.
Explaining the annex to the Mun-
ich Accord in which Britain and
France guaranteed Czechoslovakia's
shorn frontiers, Sir Thomas said if
the Czechs were attacked "His Majes-
ty's Government would certainly feel
bound to take all steps in their power
to see that the integrity of Czecho-
slovakia is preserved."
Questioners have insisted upon
knowing whether Britain's guarantee
was effective immediately or after
the frontier revision was completed.
Britain and France launched simul-
taneous diplomatic moves aimed at
permanent European appeasement as
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
won powerful support for his bitterly
attacked Munich Accord which carved
Ap Czechoslovakia.
Earl Baldwin, the Prime Minister's
predecessor, told the House of Lords

HYDE PARK, N. Y.. Oct. 4-(A)-
President Roosevelt was said on high
authority today to believe that busi-
ness would have a clear track toward
better times if industry and labor
substituted friendly' conferences for
name-calling and recrimination.
Whether the disclosure of his opin-
ion meant that the President was
preparing to act toward industrial
peace was not announced. The mere
statement of his sentiments was con-
veyed without comment to newspaper-
men at the temporary .White House
here.
At his press conference the Presi-
dent himself had no statement to
make regarding business.
Those who spoke authoritatively
regarding Mr. Roosevelt's attitude
suggested that the bitterness in th6
domestic economic scene parallels the
recent European crisis.
The war-like gestures of European
nations, they said, find their analogy
in what they described as frightening
statements, misrepresentation of gov-
ernment policy for partisan politcali
purposes, too-gloomy predictions of
the future and the raising of bogies
to scare the people.,
Friends of Mr. Roosevelt said that
the sooner labor and industry sat
around the conference table and
stopped hurling names at each other,
the sooner the nation would see busi-
ness make real progress.
At his regular Tuesday press con-
ference, the President had no com-
ment on the recent European settle-
ment.
Responding to a question as to whe-
ther the United States would initiate
a program to bring about world dis-
armament, Mr. Roosevelt suggested
that reporters read the record of the
Administration's foreign policy for
the last five years.
. During that period, there have been
indications the Government was
ready and willing to talk over inter-
national problems with other nations.
Mr. Roosevelt said the record of
things the Government has done and
of statements he and Secretary Hull
have made was perfectly clear. He
urged newsmen not to try to elabor-
ate on the English language contained
in the record.

The Spanish people, united in their
fight against the invading legions of
Hitler and Mussolini, are relentlessly
determined to protect their freedom
and democracy, while the United
States maintains a murderous "neu-
trality" by prohibiting the shipment
of ev~n defensive weapons to Spain
-that was the picture drawn by two
eye-witnesses of the war before 300
students and townspeople in the
Union last night.
The story of the defense of Spain
and of the horrors of fascist bomb-
ings was told by Constance Kyle,
American social worker who cared
for Spanish refugee children, and
Manuel Azcarate, son of the Am-
emphasized, in behalf of democracy.
The meeting, at which more than
$30 was collected for food and medi-
cal supplies to be shipped to Spain,
was sponsored by the Ann Arbor com-
mittee for Medical Aid to Spain, the
Progressive Club and the local Ameri-
can League for Peace and Democracy.
Miss Kyle, pointing out that 22 out
of Spain's 28 million people are in
Loyalist territory, told of the peasant
women who left their homes and
towns rather than submit to fascist
rule. She will leave for Spain Oct. 28.
in time, she said, to see an American
ship bring $250,000 worth of badly
needed supplies to Spain.
The following resolution, passed at
the meeting, was sent last night to
