CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.-()-With
a roar of approving votes, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor convention
late today reaffirmed its drive for re-
vision of the Wagner act and a new
Labor Board after refusing to take
i direct stand on the New Deal as a
political issue.
The convention overwhelmed a
small dissenting minority in voting
to carry on its campaign to place leg-
islative curbs around some of the
Gabor Board's discretionary powers,
ind served notice that it would fight
;he reappointment of Edwin S Smith
to the Board when his term expires
next year.
Reminding the convention that
PresidentDRoosevelt withdrew the
name of Donald Wakefield Smith for
the reappointment to the board last
summer after the AFL organized op-
position to Senate confirmation,
President Green shouted: "We'lldo
the same when the term of Edwin S.
Smith expires."

French Premier Spurns'
Hitler's Offer As Given
In SpeechTo Reichstag
Rebuff Of Proposal
Scored By Fuehrer
By TAYLOR HENRY
PARIS, Oct. 10.-(P)-Premier Da-.
ladier tonight gave the signal for the,
European war to go on, with a refusal
of Adolf Hitler's peace formula based
on Russian-German partition of Po-
land.
In a nation-wide broadc~ast the
French permier made the first formal
reply to the Friday Reichstag speech
of Hitler by spurning the "German
peace" as one which would -not pre-
vent preparation for new conquests.
As the Premier spoke the French
General Staff announced that French
troops on the western front were re-
pulsing surprise German attacks by
"quite large numbers of men" along
a 35-mile stretch from the Moselle
River, on the extreme northern flank,
to Saarbruecken, center key to the
Nazi advance lines.
German Activity Great
The General Staff's night com-
munique said that German patrol
activity throughout the entire sector
was 'very great."'"
Daladier, who spoke after consult-
ing with his British allies, declared
France and Britain would "continue
to fight" until they force Germany
to give definite guarantees of security
for a "lasting peace in Europe."
Speaking in measured tones at his
desk in the War Ministry, Daladier
did not repeat previous Frd~ch and
British declarations that Hitlerism
must be destroyed but left no doubt
that unsupported promises such as
he said Hitler had given in the past
would be unacceptable as a basis for
peace negotiations.
Hhe characterized the peace offered
by Hitler as one "which would only'
consecrate conquests by deceit or vio.-
lence and would not prevent prepara-
tion for new ones."
"What, in fact, does the latest
speech before the Reichstag amount
to?" he demanded..
Hitler Is Satisfied
"This: I destroyed Poland, I am
satisfied; let's stop the combat; let's
hold a conference to consecrate my
conquests and organize peace."
The Premier suggested that if
France accepted Hitler's present pro-
posals and "demobilized under vain
promises" in a few months time she
would have to face "abrupt aggres-
sion."
France and Britain, he said, were
"obliged tonfight becausesGermany
wanted to impose on them her domin-
ation over Europe"
"We are determined; not to submit
to the dictates of violence," he shout-
ed, adding:
Senate Favors
Repeal Of Ban
On Shipments
Rejects Tobey's Proposal
To Side-Track Action
On Arms Embargo
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-(AP)-The
Senate voted overwhelmingly today
against side-tracking the Administra-
tion's proposal to repeal the arms
embargo.
By a vote of 65 to 26, it rejected
the plea of Senator Tobey (Rep.-NH)
that the question of lifting the ban
on arms shipments to Europe's war-
ring nations be laid aside until other
sections of the pending bill, pro-
hibiting American ships to carry any
goods to the belligerents, were acted
upon.
Single-handedly, and vainly, the
former business man-governor of
New Hampshire argued that Ameri-
can ships might be submarined and
the country thus led into war while
further debate on the embargo issue,
delayed enactment of the shipping re-
strictions.
Administration leaders replied that
voting on these restrictions, and on
the remainder of the bill, could begin
at once if Tobey would persuade the
foes of repeal to end the debate and
agree to immediate action. Dividing
the bill would lead only to more de-,#
lay, they argued.
Roosevelt Discloses
Army Expansion Aims
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-(P)-
President Roosevelt disclosed today'
that the Administration aims at
building up the army to appr'oximate-
ly 600,000 men, including regular
troops, the national guard and re-
serve officers.
He hastened to note at his press
conference, however, that the na-
tion's armed forces already approach.
this figure. The three forces to-
gether will number 562,000 when the,
regulars and guardsmen attain the
augmented strength the President,
3rdered a month ago in proclaiming
a national emergency.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10-(P)-
Jphn L. Lewis demanded peace for
America in opening the second CIO
convention, today but offered no
peace to the, AFL.
He urged Congress to adopt. Presi-

The question of a united labor

Gov. Culbert L. Olson of California

sireable alike from the standpoint of
labor and national well-being."
Governor Olson had forecast AFL-

"It is not yet certain whether or

Ex-County Clerk Gibb
To Go On Trial Today
Oetermined Stand
Asserted By Hitler
BERLIN, Oct. 10.-(RP)-Adolf Hit-
ter declared today that "Germany is,
determined to take up the battle and3
fight it through" if the western allies
rebuff "our readiness for peace,"
If the war goes on the western
allies will be to blame, he said in a
;peech opening the Nazi winter re-
ief campaign, but they never will
'see any sort of German capitula-
,ion.".
"We do not know what the future
will bring," he said, "but we are clear
Lbout one thing-no power on earth
will again bring Germany to its knees.
They will not defeat us militarily, nor
lestroy us economically, nor break
)ur spirit. Under no circumstances
sill they liveto see any sort of Qer-
nan capitulation."
No Longer Holds Decision
The decision regarding peace or
ontinuance of the war, he said, "no
.onger lies with us, but with the other
side."
"With us exists only the grim de-
;ermination to abide by the decision,
whatever it may be, and to fight
'hrough to the last end," he declared.
His 21-minute speech, delivered in
angry tones at the hd.ge Sportspalast,
came at the end of a day during
which false rumors of an armistice
sent Berliners into manifestations of
Tells Anti-War Committee
Act Preserves Neutrality
Even if withholding support from
the Allies means their ultimate de-
feat, the United States shouldn't en-
ter the war, directly or indirectly,
Prof. Thomas S. Lovering of the geol-
agy department told an audience of
more than 75 at the first open meet-
ing of the Michigan Anti-War Com-
mittee.
The "cash and carry" clause in
the proposed neutrality act is a de-
cided misnomer, he declared. Britain's
national debt is more than 3 bil-
lions and has been that amount fcr
a number of years.;
If the war lasts more than four
years, Britain will be in serious finan-
cial difficulty. Instead of the 90-day
credit provision, it will become credit
and carry and' then more credit, he
explained.
By officially lifting the embargo;
we are acting un-neutral, Professor
Lovering declared, and are definitely
alligning ourselves with the Allies.
Americans want to help the allies be-
cause they fear the after-affects. of
a Reich-Russian victory. With the
Monroe Doctrine in effect, foreign
expansion in both the Americas is
improbable, Professor Lovering as-
serted.
