LONDON, May IS P.-Foreign Sec
retary Sir John Simon declined in the
House Of Commons today further TO
commit himself or the government on
the question OF intimations that Ger
many intended to rearm.
Sir John declared it was necessary
to await resumption of the Disarma-

If he were prepared to make a state
ment on the declaration of)the Ger
man foreign minister that whatever
the result Of the Disarmament Confer

by breaking the terms of the treaty
of Versailles"
Neither would he state whether the
recent utterance of Viscount Hailshaln.

IN this connection represented the at.
utude Of the whole government.
In the House of Lords last Thurs.
day Lord Hailsham asserted that in hin
opinion any attempt on the part Of
Germany to rearm would be a breach
OF the Versailles treaty and would brinf
into operations sanctions provided 81
that treaty.
No Anxiety Is Felt.
Efforts were made in DowninR
street to calm the sensation in thu
press over the week end concerning
the general European crisis.
IT was stated that no anxiety was
felt in official circles regarding the
weeks developments.
Several morning newspapers spoke
of the increased tension in Europe,
anxiously discussed what they inter-
preted as gathering war clouds, and
viewed as the main danger the grow.
ing war spirit in Germany. :
The Daily Times, after commenting
on what it called "the inculcation Of
hatred of the foreigner and of mild
tarism' in the Hitler regime, called
upon Germany ito disprove-if pos&
sible to cisprove-that one of the mai
objects OF Hitlerism is to prepare fo|
a war of revenge"

OF course the position of Moley is Q
difficult one. He, like the other Gov
ernment officials, had to take sub
stantial cut in his salary of $1,000 a
year. The situation as Assistant Secre-
tary requires a good deal of expense
in entertaining diplomats and other
distinguished visitors who come to
Washington. He is said to have no
personal means except the modest
he draws from the Barn.
ard College for his weekly lectures All
told, his income does not exceed $4,000
a year, which is considered insufficient
to maintain the necessary dignity of
his position.
Consequently he could see no other
means for increasing his income, ex-
cept by syndicating his weekly column
to q large number of newspapers, and
in this manner besides increasing his
personal income he would render a
service to his readers by keeping them
thoroughly informed of the actions Of
