Meanwhile, unionists and manu- facturers, after a. day of tense quiet, prepared to renew the struggle to keep the mills closed or open on Monday after the usual weekend shut down.

Tile Federal Mediation Board, meeting for the first time, received the demands of the workers and a picture of niill conditions from Francis J. German, national strike leader. George A. Sloan, President o! the Cotton Textile Institute, hur- ried forward to present his side of the case.

"The Honea Path matter is very dangerous and unfortunate situa- tion," Miss Perkins told newspaper- men. "The local authorities appar- ently dcputizod a group of workers who did not go on strike.

"This is a vcry dangerous proced- ure when there are two parts in a community, to make deputy sheriffs of one part is hazardous to say the least. Such an arrangement is not the way to handle that kind f sit- nation. ,

"Apparently the shooting was done by people who had no previous police experience and who shot bircauso they were frightened. Fear will mukc all of iis do foolish things at times."

Southern operators silcccssfiilly re- opened a score of mills behind brist- ling national guard bayolieis today. while flying squadrons composed of strikers for the most pnrl rested from their relcntlem activities of the last several days.

However, an inpcndent survey in midafternoon estimated that 370.000 were on strike. A number of‘ mills reopened, but the total of those go- ing back to work was offset by new shutdowns, resulting in a net in- crease of 10,000 strikers over yes- terday.

Union officials at the same time claimed more than 460,000 had Join- ed the walkout. Textile manufac- turers contended all the figures

Soviet-US. Debt Parley Collapses

wAsrrmsToN. Sept. 741801581 by President Roosevelt to grant Soviet Russia a long-term loan and commercial credits for more than $200,000,000 today caused the col- ‘llxlﬂ of debt and trade negoti- ations between the two govem- merits.

The President told the State Department that it would be un- desirable to grant a long-term loan to ally foreign country because of Europe's tremendous unpaid debt to the United States.

Continued Russian insistence on a. loan as the "price" for their promise b0 pay hundreds of ini1- lions in debts and claims by the United States made futile any im- mediate continuance of negoti- ations.

R. Walton Moore, acting Secret- ary of State, phrasing diplomatic- ally the President's rejection of the Soviet proposal, issued a statement asserting that another conference last night with Alexander Trriyan- ovsky, the Soviet Ambassador, “was without any satisfactory result whatever.”

Ce rm a ny Has Uncertain Future

LONDON, Sept ‘l-Gennany stirs uneasily, Organized opposition has been supressed. Outvzardly, it is un- ited as it was never before. The third Reich has become a Fuehrcr- st..te with all power centralized in the people's Chancellor, confirmed in overwhelming majorities by the people's will. Andthc Government propaganda machine grinds un- ccasingly on_ Yet even 1n the Reich itself, there are those anxiously asking, whither Germany? What is her destiny?

Reports continue that in a world of growing armaments she is rap- idly arming, treaties or no treaties She is short of big guns, of sub- marines, of a navy. But reports speak cit" secret air bases, or large orders placed with munition firms. Switzerland is disturbed by reports that, if war comes, Germany will next time swing along the narrow plain between Lake Geneva and the Juas and into France by the Valley of the Rhone.

The fever for armaments hris caught even the children. Toy shops vie in lead soldiers, toy ma- chlne-guns, camoﬂaged tanks, warplanes.

In one of the largest department stores in Berlin, an indulgent fath- er stood with a young hopeful of about seven years of age. The boy looked over toy after toy. Then he lighted joyfully on a. plane.
