Nazis Continuing
Program Against
“Non-Believers”
(By The Associated Press)
BERLIN, Aug. 1, Swiftly struck
blows against state enemies of two
kinds increased apprehension yester
day among Jews, Catholics and War
veterans, despite authoritative re
ports that the drive on reactionar
ies was to be lifted.
In Saxony, the Ministry of the
Interior dissolved the steel helmet
war veterans organization and ban
ned their insignia and uniforms, and
forbade their meetings on the ground
that members had transgressed
against the state and people.
In the Saar, recently annexed to
Germany, Governor Joseph Buerck
el disbanded all church youth groups
with sport, political and military
aims, and ordered youth organiza
tions henceforth to abandon uni
forms, insignia and banners.
Some authoritative quarters pro
fessed to believe the new develop
ments indicated that Adolph Hitler’s
reported decision to curb extremist
tactics had not been taken wholly
to heart by Nazi underlings.
United States Loses
Foreign Trade With
China In 6 Months
(By The Associated Press)
TOKYO, Aug. 1, Japan’s trade
with China increased during the first
six months of 1935 while that of the
United States fell off considerably,
unofficial reports from Shanghai to
Japanese sources indicated today.
The reports said Japanese trade in
China gained 31 percent as compar
ed with the previous corresponding
six months period and United States
trade over the same period decreas
ed 33 percent.
The decline in U. S. trade in what |
formerly was a large American mar- >
ket was attributed to the American
silver policy which Chinese officials
have protested because of its effect
in raising the price of the metal us
ed as their monetary standard.

WARLIKE FEELING IS
PLAINLY EVIDENT AS
DELEGATES TRY TALK
(By The Associated Press')
UNDATED, Aug. 1—The supreme chieftains of Ethio
pia’s many tribes, rallying to a war council, expressed fear
that it may be “too late to prevent war.” Such was the sub
stance of their reports to Emperor llaile Selassie.
One source said the Emperor was gravely concerned by
the mounting evidence of tens of thousands of his warriors
eager and waiting for open hostilities at once, to avert what
they regard as an Italian “slur”. Privately they are confi
dent of their strength to make it hot and heavy for Italian
soldierly.
From Naples more than two thousand Italian workmen
and soldiers embarked today for Africa, to assist others in
the construction of highways, forts and other means of mak
ing Eritrea a jumping off place for Mussolini’s armies.
An Italian air squadron also intends to fly there to ob
serve the progress made in assembling Italy’s aerial strength.
In Geneva the Italian delegation to the League of Na
tions’ council asserted that the formula framed by the Eng
lish and French delegation to avert war “was entirely un
acceptable.” The atmosphere among the Italians was one
of distant pessimism, the spokesman said, when questioned
regarding the general feeling.
