| Germans Shoot 10 Paris Hostages, But Two More Nazis Are Fired On By LANSING WARREN Wireleas to THE NEW YORK TIMES. VICHY, France, Sept. 16—Several sensational developments in the tense internal situation of France were made public here today. The German military authorities an- nounced the names of ten hostages ‘who had been executed in reprisal for acts of terrorism against the German troops of occupation and ‘reports were received of two more attempted shootings on the streets ‘of Paris. Senator Marcel Cachin, who since the World War has been the recognized head of communism in France, has been sought out in his retirement and been imprisoned by the occupying authorities. Marshal Henri Philippe Pétain announced the release of twenty- two union labor leaders confined throughout this war in concentra- tion camps as an act of social jus- tice and conciliation. At least twenty serious sentences for Communist propaganda were delivered at Amiens, Marseille and Dijon. The son of Colonel Alfred Heur- teaux, ‘vice president of Marshal Pétain’s recently formed French Legion, which has become the party behind the new regime, was kid- napped in Paris by unknown per-~ sons. This Iatter act will arouse immense feeling in the free zone of France, for Colonel Heurteaux has just come into particular promi- nence among the supporters of the Pétain government. He is one of the leading ace aviators of the present war and the father of ten children, which adds to his prestige ‘at the moment when French policy is being concentrated upon the glorification of the family. It is important, too, to note that ‘the French Legion is not authorized ‘in the occupied zone, where the kidnapping took place. Executions Now Total 18 Up to the present only eight ex- ecutions had been announced by the German authorities, three per- sons convicted of espionage and five Communists. There is no in- dication of the personalities of the ten hostages whose names were is- sued today. The arrest of Senator Cachin was reported here last Friday, but it was not permitted to be men- tioned pending official confirma- tion. That confirmation appeared in the press tonight. Senator Cachin, who is well over 70 years of age, had been in retirement; since the outbreak of the war in 1939 and the suppression of the Communist party. He had for years been director of the party organ Humanité and for years had been the leader of the small Com- munist group in the Chamber of Deputies. Jacques Doriot, for years Sena- tor Caghin’s principal collaborator, having renounced communism and formed his own party, has just left for Poland with the first contingent of volunteers to combat bolshevism. The New JYork Times Published: September 17, 1941 HOOVER SAYS WAIT TILL HITLER LOSES Contends in Chicago Speech Nazi Rule Will End and We Can Stabilize Peace Special to THE NEW YORK TIMES. CHICAGO, Sept. 16—Herbert Hoover predicted tonight the col- lapse of the Hitler regime, even though the Nazis suffer no military defeat, and at the same time urged a course which, he said, would lead ‘to national unity. He spoke from ‘Chicago in an address over the Columbia Broadcasting System. Neither isolation nor intervention ‘is possible or wise, he said, “and we should preserve our strength, that, unexhausted, we may give real aid to reconstruction and stabilizing of peace when Hitler collapses of his own overreaching.” The former President said he ad- vocated an impregnable defense for this country, no more name calling, a minimum interference with eco- nomic freedom by preparedness policies, the giving of aid to the democracies alone, the halting of provocative steps which might lead to war, and no taking of war-like steps or agreements without the consent of Congress. Says Dangers Are Passing “A cold survey of the world situ- ation will show that the dangers of ultimate totalitarian success are very much less than even ten weeks ago,” he said. “The fratricidal war between Hitler and Stalin is daily weaken- ing both dictators. Hitler may gain from Russia some supplies, but he now faces all the rest of Eu- rope exhausted of its pre-war atucks of food and material. “He has kindled behind him a consuming fire of hate; his king- dom cannot live even though he hag no military defeat on the Con- tinent.” Mr. Hoover then said that Eng- land was daily growing more im- pregnable to attack, that the West- ern Hemisphere cannot be stormed by Hitler and that “under any American policy, in either Europe or Japan, if we have common sense we will concentrate upon building our production, give Britain her tools and await developments both east and west.” “President Roosevelt,” he said, “is right in his protest at sinking American merchant ships without adequate protection to the crews, even though they were all carrying contraband. “But the President's policy of edging our warships into danger zones, of sending American mer- chant ships with contraband raises the most critical of all questions. These steps to war are unapproved and undeclared by Congress. That is not in accord with the spirit of representative government, and it should be remembered that these incidents are the consequence of violating the spirit of the Neu- trality Act. “There are other ways than going into this war, to secure rep- aration for transgression of our just rights and respect for them.” Mr. Hoover spoke of the ‘four freedoms’ and said that freedom of speech and expression, and a fifth freedom — economic freedom — al- ready are in danger in this country. Underfed, underhoused, under- clothed and undereducated people are the inevitable product of war, he said. His Bases of Foregin Policy He summed up the bases on which he thought American policy should be predicated, as follows: “1. If we prepare we cannot be invaded nor our economic life be dangerously impaired.’ “2. England can prevent inva- sion of her shores if we give her the tools, and even warships, with- out our sending our boys to death, either on ships or land. “3. Hitler is on_the way to he crushed by the vicious forces with- in his own regime. “4. We have proved by bitter ex- perience that it is a futility for us to try to impose freedom and jus- fice upon the world by war, “3. The ideas and ideals of the, West can grow and spread abroad by our demonstration in our own country. They will die in the world if the freedoms shall become weakened or die in America. “6. To send our sons into this war must also be weighed in the scales of future America. Should we not weigh in this scale the dead and maimed? Should we not weigh the one-third of underfed, under- nourished, underhoused, underedu- cated Americans for another gen- eration that will be inevitable? Should we not weigh the loss of our own freedoms? Calls for “Constructive Policy” “And where do these faacts, rea- sons and conclusions point? “What is the constructive policy for America? Is it isolation? Is it intervention? Neither is possible. Neither is wisdom. “We must have impregnable de- fense. This defense must include the other twenty nations in the Western Hemisphere. That is not isolation. “We must give the tools of de- fense to the democracies. That is not isolation. “We should reserve our strength that unexhausted we may give real ald to reconstruction and stabiliz- ing of peace when Hitler collapses of his own overreaching. That is neither isolation nor intervention. “We can do our greatest service fo civilization by strengthening here in the Western Hemisphere free institutions and free men and women. That is not isolation. It is a service to all mankind. “But to send our boys out to kill. That is intervention. “We hear much urging to na- tional unity. We could easily get unity— “If we stopped calling names. “If we directed our preparedness policies to the minimum interfer- ence with economic freedom. “If we gave aid to democracies alone of Europe and Asia and gave it generously. “If we stopped provocative steps that may take our sons into war. “If no warlike step be taken and no agreement be made that is not submitted to the Congress. If the Congress decides for war then .we accept it. “I believe real unity can be had among the American people in these proposals. “Let us never forget we came over the ocean to this oasis of lib- erty. We extended this oasis great- ly by mighty streams of freedom. “They were dug and builded by the toil of our fathers and defended with their blood. Are we now to march out into the desert of Eu- ropean war and see the wells of freedom dried up behind us?” Broadcast by Berlin and Rome Although former President Hoo- ver did not speak in Chicago until 10:15 P. M., Eastern daylight time, last night, Berlin and Rome broad- cast brief versions of what he had to say at 6:30 and 5:15 P, M., East- ern daylight time, respectively. The broadcasts were reported by Columbia Broadcasting System’s short-wave listening station. Berlin said at 6:30 o'clock: “The former United States Pres- ident, Hoover, declared in a radio speech that Roosevelt had caused the incidents, the bombardment of the - U. S. A. warships and the seizing of United States merchant ships, by having jeopardized the spirit of the Neutrality Act. “The U. S. A. Navy had received the order to shoot. Nobody will deny, Mr. Hoover said, that if the U. S. A. continued this policy it would mean war. “The entry of the United States into the war, however, could be sanctioned by Congress only.” Rome said at 5:15 o'clock: “Mr. Hoover, the former Presi- dent of the United States, has broadcast a speech in the course of which he declared that Presi- dent Roosevelt's policy of sending American warships to danger zones and of supplying one of the bel- ligerent parties with war material leads directly to war. Mr. Hoover also declared that the President's policy has not been approved by Congress and is in opposition to the spirit of a representative gov- ernment.” The New Jork Times Published: September 17, 1941 |
