French
Premier, in Address
Asserts
"War Accepted BecauseGermany Wants to Impose
Domination of Europe."
Recalls Conquests
(By H. Taylor Henry)
Paris —(AP)— Premier Valadmer replied to Adolf
Hitler's peace overtures today with a declaration that France and Britain
"will continue to fight to obtain a definite guarantee of
security" for the "lasting peace of Europe."
The premier's
declaration, made in a nationwide broadcast, apparently closed the door to
peace negotiations on the basis of the formula advanced by Hitler in his reichstag
speech Friday.
Careful consultation
with Britain preceded the address in which Deladier and the allies had entered
the war "because Germany wanted to impose her domination on Europe."

Berlin —AP— Adolf Hitler declared today that if
Germany's "readiness for peace" was declined Germany was determined
"to take up the fight and fight it out one way or the other. "In a
few weeks the state which thought it could threaten German interests most
insolently (Poland) has been demolished—thanks to our soldiers and our military
strategy," the Fuehrer declared.” What the future may bring we do not know.
But of this we are certain: No
power on earth ever again will be able to force Germany to her knees. "They will not defeat us militarily, economically
or psychically."
Tremendous
cheering greeted this declaration, delivered in a speech in Berlin's huge
Sportspalast winter relief campaign.
GREAT TASKS
AHEADHitler declared Germany was determined to fight the war to the bitter end if necessary and once more laid-the responsibility for continuing the struggle on the reich's adversaries.

65-26—Wagner Makes Plea
for Adoption.
Washington —{AP)— Administration
forces in the senate defeated today1 a, motion to separate shipping provisions
of the neutrality bill from the arms embargo repeal issue.
The' vote was announced as 65
against to 26 for the motion. There was a division of opinion among leaders as
to whether the administration's victory could be counted a test of-strength on
the neutrality bill itself—the most controversial section of which is that
providing repeal of the present embargo on arms.
"MEASURING
STICK"Majority Leader Barkley of Kentucky told reporters he regarded the vote as a measuring stick but Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, a leader of the opposition in the neutrality fight, said it could not be so considered.
The motion to split up the bill was
made by Senator Tobey", Republican, New Hampshire. He proposed to send the
measure back to the foreign ., relations committee with instructions ,to write
two. bills—one the embargo repealer, the other setting forth restrictions on American
shipping and travel to belligerents.
