Friendship Is Due
Only To Strong
Says Ger. Hitler
(By The Associated Press)
NURNBERG, Germany, Sept. 1(5,
Hitler warned the world that Ger
many “would not stand for harm
from anybody, and asserted that his
country did not want to be last in
the concert of nations, but among
the very first.” He was addressing
youths gathered at the Nazi Annual
convention. He said that they
should not forget that friendship
would be accorded only to the
strong, as the strong alone deserve
friendship.
Hitler stated- “Every German be
longs not to himself, but to the na
tion. We evaluate young men by
the number of miles they can march.
Earlier he was cheered by fifty
thousand women when he said “Na
tional socialism denies liberalistic
Jewish and bolslievist theories of
women’s equality, because it dis
honors them.”

AIRBASES ARE NOT TO
BE DESIGNATED UNTIL
SPRING SAYS DIMOND
Delegate Dimoncl Said Army Ottieials Not
Able Designate Base Until Survey Made
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, —The possibility that any
airbase site under the Wilcox Frontier Air Defense Act, be
ing designated before the spring of 1936, was discounted by
Delegate Anthony J. Dimond.
He said he had been informed by Army officials that
the “magnitude of the program” made it impractical to de
signate sites until a thorough survey had been made of all
potential bases.
Dimond said he hoped that the proposed base for Al
aska would be one of the first built. He explained that the
Territory was greatly interested, and also in its request for
two million, nine hundred thousand dollars, as an allotment
for work on commercial air fields and route markings thru
out Alaska.
Governor Troy, Delegate Dimond said, has already for
warded the application of Alaska for a blanket allotment to
permit work on proposed fields and routes.
Dimond said that he had been told that the surveys of
Alaska already made by army fliers might be sufficient for
the location of a base there. He added, however, that more
information might be needed, and that a flying force will
possibly be sent to the territory early next year, to obtain
additional data.

Four Nations May Soon Be Claiming
Regions In Antarctica Many Of The
Sections Having Been Found By Byrd
Claims May Be
Made By Nations
Antarctic Regions
By Lloyd Lehbras
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, —Aid
miral Byrd's return from his South
Polar expedition again may raise
conflicting claims to possession of
newly discovered land in Antarctica
—“the coldest, most desolate and
most terribly windswept land in
the world.”
Byrd’s land discoveries on his first
expedition in the vicinity of Ross
Sea and the Ross Ice Shelf have
been expanded greatly during the
second expedition.
The Virginia admiral has claim
ed definitely a large area known as
Marie Byrd Land for the United
States. The United States govern
ment, although retaining full rights
to advance its claims at a future
date never has made formal claim
of the ice-bound territories.
Believed To Have Claim
The United States has, officials!
believe, a valid claim on a number |
of snow swept areas, land and wat
er, if it cares to assert them and
indulge in a diplomatic controversy
with Great Britain, which has made
whoesale claims on nearly every
thing in Antarctica.
Territories which might be claim
ed under the American flag include
what are designated on the maps
of Antarctica as Marie Byrd Land,
Wilkes Land, and a hazily outlined
area between the southermost tip
of South America and Hearst Land.
“Little America”, Byrd’s base, and
the Bolling advance base, where
the admiral spent a lonely winter
making scientific observations, are
on the Ross Ice Shelf claimed by
Great Britain. Byrd never has offi
cially claimed them, although he
flew the American flag over his snow
bound encampments.
Wilkes’ Discoveries
Byrd, however, has made a defin
ite claim to the wavering-lined ter
ritory he has explored by plane,
sled and on foot, and named Marie
Byrd Land.
Wilkes Land, claimed by Great
Britain as a portion of its Australian
Antarctic territory was discovered
by the daring American naval of

Other Nations Are

UNDATED, Sept. 16, —Panama,
Haiti and the Irish Free State to
day called on the league to take de
finite steps toward preventing the
conquest of another small country
—the contemplated invasion of Eth

Mussolini’s defiance of the League
and what the French called Hitler's
threat against Memel, dampened
the French enthusiasm for the pun

The authoritative newspaper La

aside Italy’s friendship over the
Ethopian conflict, she may never
regain it. Ethiopia today dispatch

and they haven’t gotten around to it yet,” he said.

to make tomorrow’s observance, marking the 148 anniversary
of the submission of the constitution to the states, a fore-run

Republican National Committee topped a long list of those
to speak on the republican side.

progressed.”
