Adolf Hitler today demanded an armistice with Britain and France -- on his terms. Speaking before the Reichstag in Berlin, in an address carried by worldwide radio, the German Chancellor demanded as a condition of the armistice the return of former German colonies and offered in return "absolute security, disarmament and friendship" between Germany and Great Britain," the establishment of a "Polish state" under "German-Russian control," and the "solution of the Jewish problem in Europe." Should his proposal be refused, Hitler promised that "neither force of arms nor time shall conquer Germany." He added that the line between the interests of Germany and Russia is clearly drawn, and that there need be no fear of hostilities between the two states.
The response from London and Paris to Hitler's demand was hostile, with the British Ministry of Information declaring that "no peace proposals are likely to be found acceptable which do not effectively free Europe from aggression." In France, Premier Daladier, in a two-hour speech to the Foreign Affairs Committee of the French Senate, declared that France and England will fight total war, if necessary, to prevent German hegemony in Europe.
From Moscow comes word that the Soviet Union will sign a ten-year non-aggression pact with Lithuania, following yesterday's conclusion of terms with Latvia.
The U. S. Maritime Commission has acknowledged receiving a warning from Grand Admiral Erich Raeder of Germany claiming that the liner USS Iroquois would be sunk as it nears American waters. President Roosevelt today dispatched a Navy and Coast Guard convoy to escort the ship to safety. The Iroquois carries 792 persons. Raeder's warning implied that the Iroquois would face a fate similar to that of the British liner Athenia, sunk last month at the start of the European War, a sinking blamed by the British on German submarines, but by the Germans on British agents under orders from Winston Churchill.
The US Line, operators of the Iroquois, dismiss the statement by Raeder as "war propaganda."
Testimony proceeds slowly in Albany in the corruption investigation of Kings County Judge George W. Martin, and the slow pace of questioning will likely carry the hearings well into November. Witnesses today continued to testify concerning Martin's use of his judicial office to recruit investors for failing companies with which he was associated, including a motion picture production firm and an amusement park.
A $2000 extortion-kidnapping plot targeting the four-month-old son of a Belmont Park jockey started out as "a gag," according to 20-year-old Carlo Zarcone of 16th Street, who was arrested by police when he appeared for a scheduled meeting with jockey Don Reade to discuss terms. Zarcone told police that he only decided to actually go forward with the plan when he realized "there was money in it." Zarcone is being held on $2500 bail pending a further hearing on October 9th. Police are seeking a second man said to be in on the plot.

Mr. Stockpool thinks Leona needs a firmer hand than her mother uses, and she's let all her publicity go to her head. He thinks Mary is just the one to take care of Leona while Mr. and Mrs. Stockpool go abroad -- and Mary's willing, as long as she has *complete authority.* Where's that oak paddle?
