FRENCH POWER
PROHIBITS WAR,
SAYS SPEAKER
Germany Dares Not Fight,
Asserts Lees Smith at
Town Hall.

Germany dares not make war now
because Of the overwhelming mill
tary supremacy of France, declared
H. B. Lees-Smith, former member
of the British cabinet before the
last Town Hall audience of the sea-
son at the Columbia Club today.
Peace is being kept in Europe
today" the speaker said because
Of the military power Of France.
I do not think that Adolf Hitler
will make war. He is more moderate
today than he was ten days ago.
Hitler knows that if he made war
now he would be smashed like an
egg hit with a hammer
Would Stay Forever
France would cross the Rhine on
the first pretense. She would seize
it and stay there for the next 100
years.
Lees Smith asserted that England
does not want European peace Sc
cured by the military position of
France. and that the new British
peace program is based on that
factor.
England, he said, gradually has
recongized certain facts and asks
questions How long is the peace
CT Europe to be maintained by the
French army?
Pleads for Peace Spirit
1--WE now must bring to Europe
spirit Of peace instead of a spirit
Of war"
Lees-Smith maintained that it is
folly to talk disarmament before
correcting the Legitimate grievances
of the Treaty Of Versailles"
Only after revision of the treaty
can peace in Europe be assured and
armies reduced, he said.
