German government
Snahcehor left the way open for
ritter its return to the league
and conference If properly conciliated
by the other nations. More potent yet,
perhaps, is the fact that none of the
nations is financially able to support
a war at this time. Nor do the people
of any of the countries directly in
volved wish to go to war, unless 1t
may be the always militaristic Prus-
slams of the reich.
Chancellor Hitler, having announced
Germany's withdrawal, President Won
Hindenburg Immediately decreed the
dissolution of the reichstag and pro-
claimed a general parliamentary cleo
ton for November II, with plebi-
scite at the same time to obtain the ma
TONS approval of the governments de-
cision. All the state parliaments were
dissolved and there will be no new
state elections, so the power will be
centralized in Berlin.
Hitler's speech of appeal to the Ger
man people to support his policy was
full of ardor and yet was half cOncili-
atory and caused hopes in Great Brit
ain and the United States, if not else
where, that the reich might be brought
to reconsideration of it's action. The
officials Of other nations refused to get
| excited, and some Of them admitted
privately that Hitler's protest was
justified, but not his methods. The
managers of the disarmament confer
ence were naturally disconnected and
decided to adjourn until October %.
Some OF them were ready to quit in
definitely, but this move was blocked
by Norman II. Davis, the American
representative.
A little later Mr.. Davis received in
structions from the White House and
thereupon his position became consid-
erably more detached. In a statement
to the press he informed the European
nations that America would gladly CO.
operate in any disarmament negotia-
lions but was "not interested In the
political element or any purely Euro
pean aspect of the picture." In other
words, the United States will leave
Europe to settle its own quarrels in
its own way.
Italian officials rather hoped the
disarmament negotiations could be
continued with the framework of the
four power pact, but France indicated
she would not consent to this. The
French position, quoted from a "reli-
able source of information" was:
France has not modified her line
of conduct, which is well known. She
went to Geneva to sign disarmament
convention. She showed herself ready
to make heavy sacrifices to favor it's
achievement. She has no reason to-
day to change this desire to obtain
concrete results within the frame
work of Geneva.

shows that international opinion is

President Arthur Hendersons reply
to Foreign Minister Won Neurath's
telegram announcing Germany's with
! drawal from the arms conference was
concocted by the managers of the con-
| ference with the aid of Mr.. Davis. It
| refuted the German accusation that
the conference did not intend to bring
about general disarmament and that
the former allies were unwilling to
disarm. By implication Germany was
reminded that she was still bound by
the treaty of Versailles until she has
signed disarmament convention re-
placing it.
Just at present the German people
seem to be giving Hitler their enthusi-
astic support, but he is isolating his
country and is progressing fast on the
road to being repudiated. He may save
himself by moderating his policies.
