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.

Thousands Of F Seek Refuge In. Daladier Rejects Per Russ' 11A Lewis Disdai CIO-AFL U~ orth Urges For Roosevelt Pr Embargo Rex 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- dent \ Roosevelt's neutrality program and expressed the hope "President Roosevelt will make avaliable his own great influence in behalf of peace, when conditionys warrant and justify his intervention." The question of a united labor movement was laid before Lewis by Gov. Culbert L. Olson of California who told tle 400 delegates "Unity be-. tween the CIO and AFL" was de- sireable alike from the standpoint of labor and national well-being." Governor Olson had forecast AFL- CIO unity. But Lewis' remarks in- dicated he expected to lead the CIO as a separate entity for at least an- other five years.

Calibre Of Talent Will Indicate PossibilityOfOpera Revival The Union Opera, traditional Mich- igan institution extinct since 1929, will be revived this year if the find- ings of a talent survey to be conduct- ed tomorrow and Friday are favor- able, according to Don Treadwell, '40, president of the Union. All men who are interested in par- ticipating in the revival of the Opera may sign registration blanks during the two-day survey. Those interested "It is not yet certain whether or not the Union will try to revive the Opera," Treadwell said. "A great amount of talent will be needed and the Union survey will indicate wheth- -r the available talent will be suf- ficient to successfully stage a pro- duction this year." He added, however, that if an opera is produced, participants will be se- University residence halls for men are completely filled for the first se- nester, but facilitaties for some 400 more students will be available when he new east quadrangle section opens zext February, Prof. Karl Litzenberg, lirector of residence halls, announced ;oday.

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.

The whole of Finland concentra its attention on the forthcoming c versations between a Finnish dele tion and Soviet Russian official: Moscow. The delegation was exp ed in Moscow tomorrow.
