Hitler Talk to Score
Barthou Bloc System
Nv TOM WILHELM

BERLIN, July II 1.N.S0.
Chancellor Adolph Hitler's address
to the au-Nazi Reichstag Friday
will include an important an.
nouncement on the Austrian
situation, made the more acute
by the reported resignation Of
the Dollfuss cabinet. it became
known in official circles today.
This announcement, it was said,
is one Of the results of Hitler's
talks with Benito MuSSolini in
Venice, just before the executions
and killings of June 80.
Will Rap BarthOu
Other points on which Hitler,
who was busy today writing the
speech, will touch on, according
to official circles are:
Germany'S answer to the political
bloc system being built up by the
French foreign minister, Louis
Barthou, a convincing statement
on Germany's desire for peace,
and q declaration Of Germany'S
willingness to cooperate with the
nations of the world to that end.
His speech may include a dis
cussion Of the foreign power"
repeatedly charged with conspir-
ing with the late Gen. Kurt Won
Schleicher, who with his wife
was killed resisting arrest" by
police, and who subsequently was
charged with conspiracy against
Hitler in the government-con-
trolled press.
The Reichstag will meet tomor.
row in Kroll's Opera House. The
Reichstag building reconstruction
has not been completed after the
famous incendiary fire which led
to an even more famous trial.
Treviranus Escapes
Vice Chancellor Won Papen was
reported today as determined to
quit the cabinet and even to leave
the country.
Another important development
of the near future will be the re.
turn of Gen. Hans Won Seeckt
from China.
General Won Seeckt is the man
who organized and built up the
present ReichSwehr or regular
army. He is bound to be an i'm
portant element in the new Ger.
many.
A reference in DR.. Paul Joseph
Goebbels' radio speech last night
to Gottfried Rheinholdt TreVir-
anus, former cabinet member in
the Bruening government, con-
firmed reports of his escape. He

. IN DOCK STRIKE

SAN FRANCISCO, July II
Q.N.SO. - President RoOsevelt's
special mediation board worked
feverishly today to end the disas-
trous Pacific Coast longshoremen's
strike as the Zero hour that
might bring a general strike in
this area approached.
Tomorrow has been set by vari-
GUS bay region unions as the day
on which the marine dispute must
be settled, barring which 1O0,00O
men will lay down their tools in
sympathy with the dock workers.
The three man presidential
board called upon shippers and
workers alike to give them sole
power in arbitrating and settling
the deadlock, now in its sixty-third
day.
Hundreds have been injured,
and more than 10 persons killed
in SkirmiShes from Seattle to Los
Angeles.
Ship owners and a committee
Of seven labor leaders of the San
Francisco labor council, together
with spokesmen for the joint ma
rine committees, were expected to
give their decision to the medi.
alton board today.
The Labor Council committee
and shipowners held protracted
sessions throughout the night.
Outcome of the meetings was
withheld.
Building Strike Threat
Adding to threat of an impend.
ing tieup of every trade in the Bay
region, the Building Trades Coun-
Gil Of Alameda county, compris.
ing 81 locals in the East Bay dis
trict, last night appointed a strike
strategy committee and ordered
an immediate strike poll among its
members.
The San Francisco Transfers
Union, with 2,500 members, voted
500 to / Sunday night to walk out
tomorrow unless the longshore-
mems strike is settled by that
time.
Cushing Makes Plea
o. K. Cushing, chairman of The
Presidents m diation board,
pleaded with shippers and spokes-
men for the Joint Marine EN-
ployes' Committee to submit their
grievances to the board and to
abide solely by the decision of
the board. He said:
"The board believes the SoIu.
tiOn Of this controversy is to
leave the whole matter in the
hands of the board. This is the
first national tribunal set up to
deal with such q situation where
the parties cannot get together.
We think tribunal such as this
should be resorted to at such q

TELLS
Of PLANS FOR
HUGE SHIP
Super -Dreadnaught of 35,0 900
Tons, With 16-Inch Guns,
All BIue-Printed
Nv International News Service

Commenting on plans for con-
Struction Of new Super-dread-
naught. Secretary Of the Navy
Swanson today declared:
1--WE have . system in the
navy Of keeping our plans up
tO-date. We are ready for busi-
ness.
"An emergency might arise
when we would want to build
one Of these ships as quickly
as possible. Therefore, we are
drafting plans to permit us to
do so whenever it is deemed
necessary"
Besides a displacement Of IS, 900
tons. he added. the blueprints for
the new ship call for either 16 or
14-inch guns. He i1timated that
he favored the larger bore.
Most Formidable Yet
The experts, it was learned,
already have worked out on blue
prints plans for the most formid-
able super -dreadnaught ever
launched, and embodies far-reach-
ing improvements in battleship
construction. especially against air
and submarine attack.
Some of the quick-maneuvering
qualities of Germany'S so-called
pocket" battleships are under
stood to have been applied to the
drafting plan for the new vessel.
High ranking naval officials
emphasized that drafting of plans
for this new battleship did not
mean the United States intended
to stand in the way of future limi-
tation of this type of vessel. They
explained the Navy merely was
preparing itself for possible event
ualities.
Announcement Significant
Significance was seen in the
fact that disclosure of the plans
for this new super-dreadnaught
came at a time when Britain is
seeking to get the United States
to reduce the size of battleships.
The British want to cut down
the tonnage to $4,000 tons. Lat
est reports from London indicate
they are enlisting the aid of the
French in this move.
The United States has consist
emily maintained that lack Of
American naval bases throughout
the world and long coasts to de-
fend necessitate maintenance Of
a large type of vessel, particu-
larly battleships which have been
described by Secretary of the
Navy Swanson as the backbone"
of the American fleet.

England and Italy to come to the
aid Ct the victim Of an attack
by either France or Germany
over the Franco German frontier.
What France wants above
everything today Is not mere re-
affirmation of the old Locarno
Pact by England. She gets that
nearly every week in parliament.
What France wants is renewal
of England's engagement to
stand by her If Germany at
tackS.
May Be . Bait
If France were absolutely sure
Of English support she would
lose her nervousness. But Eng
land has hitherto refused to do
anything more than to assert
that she would fulfill old prom
iseS.
Now M. Barthou believes he
Ca get a new promise from
England by rewriting the old or
West Locarno Pact and bringing
the Soviet Union in as q new
guarantor.
Because of her military and
geographical sitIation remote
from France, it is hard to imag-
inc how the Soviet Union could
be of any real help.
But M. 3arthou hopes to use
the Soviet Unions entry into the
pact as bait to get a new promise
out of England.
Linked to League
The Soviet Union in turn is
willing to enter the West Locarno
Pact If France can induce Po-
land, Czechoslovakia and the
Baltic States to enter the East
Locarno Pact.
More than that, the Soviet
Union will become a member of
the League of Nations, if France
can bring about the East L.ocarno
Pact.
All of these Locarno pacts would
contain first a promise of non
aggression, second a promise Of
mutual consultation in case of
trouble, and third, and most i'm
portant, a promise of common
action against the aggressor.
All would be linked to the COW
enant of the League so that no
non-member could join.
For the Soviet Union as we'll as
France, this sort Of pact just
suits the national policy for the
Soviet Union like France is one
Of those nations which has all
the territory it wants.
Germany on the other hand
is one Of those nations which
have less than they want.
CIeverly Devised Plan
1t would suit France perfectly
if Germany would enter the
Eastern Locarno Pact. But Ger
many probably will not consent
to become her own jailer.
The best informed diplomatic
circles here believe that Germany
will agree to examine the plan
and then go on examing it in
definitely.
But that will suit France Just
as well inasmuch as Germany's
refusal to enter the pact will
stamp her according to French
opinion as having aggressive in
tentions.
Germany on the other hand
realizes that M. Barthou'S plan
is an extremely cleverly dis
guised but effective net of steel
around her border.
Delcasse, pre-war French dip
lomat, forged his famous ring
Of steel" around Germany.
M. Barthou'S ring is better than
a single band. It is a net pro-
posing to include not only Ger
many's immediate neighborS, but
her neighbors' neighbors in a
web of bayonets pointed at this
country.
Its success would mean the in
definite perpetuation of tn a t
status quo laid down in the Ver-
SailleS treaty.
