The suspension of parliamentary government in Vienna suggests q form of Hitlerism soon will bid for power in Austria.

 The excited indignation of Ger man newspapers after Poland landed 100 soldiers at the Wester- platte munitions depot in Danzig last week flashed the spotlight on German-Polish tension. The situ- ation on the French frontier, with armed NaZis reported active in for bidden territory, also is potentially dangerous.
