What of World Affairs?
Revolutionary Change in Germany Is Held Unlikely,
as Fascist Victors IRE Expected TO Feel Burden
of Responsibility and Act Carefully.

mentS IN Germany, certain section OF
the French press and Nationalist in the
cabinet had forecast the victory Of the
Hitlerites. They described such sn
eventuality as the end of the Locarno
pact and the end of Aristide Briand's
policy OF attempted friendship with Ger
many. Last Sundays result confirmed
the worst predictions of the French Ma
tionalistS. 1t is feared in responsible
quarters here that the French nation
may be induced TO share the fears OF
the French Nationalist.
Hopes OF Italy Are Revived.
On the other hand, there is no doubt
that the victory of the German Fascists
will have an important reaction in
Italy. In their latent conflict with
France the Italians have been looking
longingly at Germany and have APP
preached the German government un-
officially several times, offering not an
alliance but an entente. This has been
so far rejected by the German gov
eminent.
However, the signal victory OF the
German FaSclsts will undoubtedly re-
vive Italian hopes, and the immediate
consequence will be that the Italians
will be even more adamant in dis
cuSsing their political differences with
the French. This will retard the much
desired disarmament parleyS and the
present unsettled and obscure political
situation in Europe will continue so for
some time.
Effects TO Be Felt Here.
Nobody here, however, believes that
this uncertain situation actually will
lead to an armed conflict The situa-
ton, 1t is feared. may disturb trade.
Political difficulties between nations
always bring about unfavorable bust
ness conditions. BY the delay in set
Ting their political disputes the Euro
pean states inevitably cause trade de-
preSSionS, which in turn cause unem-
ployment and eventually social unrest.
The effects of such conditions
necessarily will be felt in this country.
and from that point of view alone the
results OF the German election are de-
plored here.

NAVY PACT WINS
IN TOXIC COUNCIL
Committee Will Recommend
Ratification, Ending
Long Fight.

BY Radio to The Star.
TOXIC, Japan, September 1.-THE
Privy Council Investigation Committee
which has been holding sessions for the
last two months, at today's ANAL meet
ing decided in favor Of recommending
the ratification of the London naval
treaty The approval was accompanied
by warning regarding the supreme
command issue and supplementary naval
defense program.
Count Miyoji Ito, chairman of the
Investigation Committee, will draft the
warning and the report on the discus
sions for submission at a full Privy
Council meeting to be held shortly. The
findings undoubtedly will be concur
red in.
Virtually Ends Conflict.
This virtually terminates the long
draWn-out fight between the govern
ment and the Privy Council and is .
decided victory for the government.
Even up until today the vernacular
press has been predicting dire conse-
quences for the government, with three
possibilities: An indefinite delay due to
lack of adequate information; ratifica-
ton with censure; complete rejection.
The warning regarding the National
defense is merely face-saving for the
privy council and is not of Importance
internationally. The privy council re-
allied that the government had resolved
to ignore any censure, as leading states
men such as Prince Saionji, last sur
viving. "elder" statesman, and Count
Maxine. lord keeper of the privy seal
and public opinion would support the
government, with the result that the
prestige and influence of the privy
council would have been impaired.
Assures Final Ratification.
Today's action assures final ratifica-
ton in the near future and confirms
repeated predictions to this effect. The
privy council has made lots of noise
and has kept in the political limelight,
somewhat resembling the clamor made
in the United States and England, but
in the flnal showdown was forced to
yield under the pressure OF virtually
unanimous support OF the press and
public opinion for the treaty.

heard the shots and opened fire.
A riot call was sent to the city police
headquarters for assistance. and nearly
200 police and detectives were thrown
in a Gordon around the walls, outside
of which several thousand spectators
had gathered. The prison is in the
, heart OF the city.
In the meantime, inside the prison
the nine would-be escapers had been

Secretary stimson in a formal state
ment said:
Il have directed Mr. Bliss, our Am
baSsador to Argentina, to resume nor
NAL diplomatic relations with the pro-
visional Argentine government. and have
directed Mr.. Dearlng, our Ambassador
to Peru, to resume normal diplomatic
relations with the provisional Peruvian
government, and have directed Mr..
Feely, our Minister accredited to Bolivia,
to present his letters of credence and
resume normal diplomatic relations
with the provisional Bolivian govern
ment. This Is to be done tomorrow,
September 10.
in reaching the conclusions to ac-
cord recognition to these three govern
ments the evidence has satisfied me
that these provisional governments are
de facto in control of their respective
countries and that there is no active
resistance to their rule. Each OF the
present governments has also made 1t
clear that 1t Is its intention to fulfill
it's respective international obligations
and to hold In due course elections TO
regularize its status.
No Change in Policy.
The action of the United States in
thus recognizing the present Argentine,
Peruvian and Bolivian governments
does not represent any new policy or
change of policy by the United States
toward the nations OF South America
or the rest OF the world
II have deemed 1t wise to act
promptly in this matter in order that
in the present economic situation our
delay may not embarrasS the people of
these friendly countries in re-establish-
ing their normal intercourse with the
rest of the world"
Secretary Stimson revealed that this
country had kept in touch with other
nations in regard to recognizing these
countries. He said other governments
had asked frequently as TO the attitude
this country would assume Stimson
added, however, that the step Just taken
had been based entirely upon United
States views.
Revolt Climaxed In June.
The Bolivian revolt responsible for
the present military junta reached its
climax June IS, 1880 when former
President fernando Siles sought refuge
in the Brazilian legation and later was
transported across the border into Peru.
The Peruvian revolt began with Col
Luis M. Sanchez Ceerro's occupa ton of
Areouipa. President Augusta B. Ie-
guia, virtual dictator of Peru for IL
years, resigned to a military junta, and
is now under arrest.
The new Argentine government
came into power September 8, after
street lighting in Buenos Aires.
Former President Hipolito Irigoyen
first designated his powers as president
TO the vice president and later resigned.
He had been in power since October IL,
