BY LOUIS P. LOCHNER
BERLIN, Oct. 18.— (AP)—Authorized Nazis today said
Germany was throuRh with Prime Minister Chamberlain
and Premier Daladier but still was waiting for a neutral
responso to Adolf Hitler's Reichstag speech last Friday.
Any such action by neutral nation — amonjr who
they said they regarded Ihe United Slates as Hie only one
powerful enough to do something effective — however,
must come from them and not as a iesiilt of any diplomatic
action ur request by Germany, they reporteed.
(In Washington, the lack of a formal request for ma>
diation was saan ar one of the obstacles to any possible a#
fort by the United States government to bring peace.)
These interpretation* of Germany's position
made after two developments
1, Dr. Otto Dietrich, Germany's^ ■
pre* chief and one of Hitler's
closest, adriners, told foreign
correspondent he thought that
only the United Stales yet conld
intervene to prevent "the most
gruc-iome bbloodbath in history."
ii. An official press release on
Chamberlain's speech yesterday
*aid the Briton had "rejected the
hand of peace stretched out to
him by (he Fuehrer" and Brit-
ain's war aims meant "war
against the German people, war
against the Herman Reich nnto
annihilation."
It was pointed out that Ger-
many once more had warned
what would be In store for the
world if Great Britain was not
brought lo the conference table
But there is no reason, Nails
said, why Germany should go
around to neutrals to request
them to mediate.
Hitler's appeal last Friday for
peace that "those people* and
their leaders now speak up who
are of a sluUtar (peaceful) mind"
was said to have been an "ottlclal
document" addressed alike to
neutrals and belligerents.
The official press release called
Chamberlain's speech "an un-
heard of insult to Germany."
Dr. Dietrich, who talked with
correspondents after he had iieen
wi'h Hitler for several hours,
said he felt Britain had risked
what ho called "her insolent
reply" through riinmherlalu only
because she rolled upon Hie
United Mtates to support her.
Dietrich declared British
Prime Minister Chamberlain's
speech to Ihe House of Commons
yesterday had shattered all other
hope of an armistice on the west-
ern front before operation* there
begin In earnest.
He indicated that Germany
was prepared to unleash her full
iiiiRht. against Great Britain and
Prance unless ihe United States
stepped in to bring Hie allien and
Germany together across (he
conference table.
Thus. Indirectly. Adolf Hitler
asked President Roosevolt to In-
tervene and Indiated there still
might be ii lull on the western
front if there were uny sign Mr
Rooaevelt might comply

and perhaps clear ¡ta calendar and adjourn one day ahead
of schedule, after condemning the National Labor Rela-
tion Board's administration of the Wagner Act.
Delegates indicated off the record that John L. Lewis,

years ago, would be returned to the president's office.

such delays as to render benefits of the law problematical.
The delegates also endorsed resolutions urging the
CIO to conduct vigorous organisation drives among avia-
tion and utilities industriea and in the insurance and bank-
ing fields.
