Reichsfuehrer Hitler reviewing his forces in the re- occupied territory and receiving the loud plaudits of the Inhabitants for restoring their military sovereignty. That in a nutshell was the perilous situation in Europe as the representa- tives of the Locarno nations and the council of the league assembled In London to consider what to do next Foreign Minister Plerre-Etienne Flan- din of France was there with the full support of Premier Sarraut for his de mands that immediate action be taken to bring Hitler to time.

It was sald 8,000,000 could be mobilized in 48 hours and were trained reserves: airplanes ships were ready. The Franco-Russian treaty came up in the French senate and was ratified by a huge majority. militarizing the Rhineland, asserting that It was a violation of the Locos treaty, being is the final lnk In the around been forging. At first the response te France's demands for full support against Germany was ambign- ons and not satisfactory and Flandin, “iron After conferences with foreign secretary, appeared before the house of commens and declared any attack on Franee or Belgium In viola- tion of the Loearno pact would compe: Britain to go to their assistance, He added, however, that there was no reason to suppose “the present German action implies a threat of hostilities.” Then he indicated Britaln was willing to consider Hitler's proposals for new peace covenants, The British statesmen seemed so calm in the crisis that there was rea- son to believe they knew In advance what Hitler intended to do. When Flandin and the other Locarno signa- tory representatives arrived in Lon don, the attitude of the British cabinet changed and grew decidedly stiffer, JH iLER was not represented at either the Locarno conference or the session of the league council In London. He himself, having precipt- itated the crisis, made his triumphal appearance In the Rhineland and then awaited events. His dramatic and sudden denunciation of the Locarno treaty was accomplished In =a speech before the reichstag and In for. mal announcements to the ambassadors In 8 y Berlin of the nations Adolf Hitler concerned. He asserted that the troops he sent into the Rhineland comprised a “symbolic” army only, and that the reich, while ready to defend itself, was wholly desirous of peace. To prove this he offered a plan which Includes: A demilitarized strip of German, French and Belgian land; a 25-year non-aggression treaty among Germany, France and Belgium, with Great Brit. ain and Italy as guarantors; Inclusion of the Netherlands in the system of pacts; an alr pact with the western powers; a non-a jon pact with Germany's eastern neighbors, include ing Lithuania; and return of Germany to the League of Nations after her equality is established and her sover- eignty restored, France's reply to this was that, hav- ing just violated one treaty, Hitler could not be trusted to observe anoth- ‘er; and anyway, France would not even listen to the reichsfuehrer’'s new proposals until he had withdrawn his troops from the Rhineland, The French army was moved toward the frontier and the “Maginot line” of fortifications and underground passages was fully manned. This system of defenses has been criticized because it requires so many troops that the army Is rendered virtually stationary—what has been called in Paris “the concrete army.” Remaining forces would be insufficient for offensive movement. But this fault might be disregarded if France gets the expected millions of soldiers from her allies, HIEF JUSTICE ALFRED A.

Critics of the adminis tration immediately assumed that Mr. Davis and Secretary of Agricalture Wallace had disagreed and that the former was being gently edged out of the picture, This Mr. Wallace warmly denied, asserting there had been no friction and that he had deep affee- tion for Mr. Davis and the sincerest respect for his ability and Integrity. In announcing the assignment, Mr. Roosevelt said: “In requesting him to make this study for our government, Secretary Wallace and I have had in mind the distinguished service Mr, Davis has given American agriculture, especially during the last two and one- half years. As administrator he has been directing governmental efforts which, to a considerable degree, were made necessary by changes in the En ropean outlets for American farm products, “Information to be gathered by him at close hand as to the precise nature and extent of these economic changes abroad Is expected to assist greatly in developing American farm pro- grams.” REAT BRITAIN is Interested and pleased to learn that King Edward VIII may abandon his state of bach- elorhood and take unto himself a wife.
