of conservative elements through out the world. Their fear were
 not allayed by the frank state- ment of German delegate at the London economic conference that Germans excess population could be settled in the sparsely populat- ed district of western Russia. Exchange Military Attaches Little by little, this two-fold fear brought the Soviets closer to France. For the first time since the World war, France sent
 military attache to Russia, and Russia sent Q military attache to Paris.
 Recently, Franco-Soviet com mercial treaty was signed in Paris. It gave the Soviets a recognized status in their commercial rela- tions with France, which they had previously lacked.
 About the same time, Q Soviet naval delegation visited the prin- cipal French naval bases and in- spected the warships under con- struction.
 The next step in the Franco Soviet rapprochment may be the entry of the Soviet Union into the League of Nations. Former Pre- mier Edouard Herriot has been trying to persuade the Soviets to take this step. Since the with drawal of Japan and Germany from the league, the Soviets have hinted that they might join the Geneva organization.
 While France and the Soviet Union have been moving together, !, , surances of loyalty from the~ little mia and Yugoslavia.
 A serious menace to the exis- tence of the little entente and to it's alliance, with France arose af- ter the assassination of the Ru- manian premier, Ion Duca, late in December, 1883.
 A strong group in Rumanian politics favored breaking away
 from the little entente and form ing close friendship with Ger
 many instead of with France. This group, which included the semi Nazi organization, the iron guard, also believed that Rumania should | try to recover Bessara bia from the | Soviet Union.
 Rumania in Balance For over week, the fate of the little entente and it's relationship | with France depended upon the attitude of the Rumnanian Foreign Minister, Nicholas Titulescu, who | had helped build the entente and who favored 8 close relationship
 with France and a policy of re- conciliation with the Soviets. At first, Titulescu refused to re- | main in the Rumanian cabinet, but later changed his mind. This decision was greeted with relief in the capitals of the little entente, l Paris and Moscow, as 1t meant a continuance of satisfactory rela- | tions between the entente and
 Russia on one hand and the en- l tente and France on the other, as
 well as rebuff to Germany in the
 Balkans.

 Diplomatic circles. therefore. feel that If a Russo-J Japanese war broke out in the far east, certain elements in Germany might favor an attack upon Russia from the west.
 Meanwhile, the Germans are steadily seeking to extend their influence throughout central and eastern Europe. The present point of attack" is Austria. French au- thorities feel that if Hitler suc- ceeds in putting an Austrian Nazi government into power in Vienna, or in achieving the ''Anschluss, 1" he will next concentrate on Ru- mania, where German influence already is strong.
 German propagandists are also reported to be- active in Lithuania, Latvia and Esthonia. For the time being, however, they appear to have been checked by the Baltic pact which the Soviets offered to

 Paris, (UP)-Through a maze of hates, jealousies and fears, the nations of the world appear to sbe grouping toward new balance of power, which may culmintee in an era of uncertain peace or precipi- tate another Armageddon.
 Alliances of the pre-war pat tern are gradually taking. form across the face of Europe and Asia and may ultimately extend even to the American continents.
 Observers here believe it is still too early to determine whether these formative blocs will divide the greater partof the world into tw oarmed camps. They hope, however, that at the worst the coalitions may lead to a period of relative tranquality such as pre- vailed in Europe between 1871 and 1914.
 The most tangible alignment to date appears to be that in process of formation between France, the Soviet Union and Frances allies Belgium and the lattle entente.
 On the otherf side of the fence. certain sympathies seem to be drawing together Germany and Japan and a number of smaller nations which Germany is trying to bring under her influence.
 Britain, Italy and the United States are on the side-lines. In a doubtful position are Poland, the Baltic states-Lithuania. Latvia, and Estonia - Austria, Hungary, China and others.
 Soviets Take Lead
 By a strange quirk of fate, the Soviet Union has recently given the greatest impetus to the inter- national match-making. In con- trast with the previous hesitancy of the Soviets to form entangle- ments with capitalist nations, Mos- COW now seems to be the fulcrum on which one of the alliances may pivot.
 Fear has driven the Soviets into this position-fear of an expand- ing Japanese empire in the Far East and fear of a national social ist, anti-communist German gov ernment in the west. The most important result of this phobia thus far has been a strong move- ment to reconstitute the pre-war Franco Russian defensive alliance.
 The Franco-Soviet rapproche- ment has been unded way for sev- eral years. The first tangible sign of it's progress was the signature of non-aggression pact between the Soviet Union and her neigh bors, particularly Frances satel- 1ites, Poland and Rumania.
 In the meantime, Japan had invaded Manchuria and set up the state of Manchukuo. This in- creased Soviet fears that the Jap anese would next strike at Vladi- vostok and the Siberian maritime provinces.
 On the western front, the So- yiets were disturbed by the grow ing strength of Hitler, who, they believed. might attempt to lead an anti-communistic crusade in the hope Of gaining the sympathy

the Poles and their Baltic neigh bors.
 Poland has become the enigma of eastern Europe. Until a few months ago, she was considered a certain ally of France. Then nego- tiations were started between Warsaw and Berlin to improve Polish German relations - and Paris began to wonder.
 Sentimentaily, Poland Is att tached to France. It was the French who helped re-create Po- land at the peace conference and to defend Poland from the Bol- sheviks. The fear of a German att tempt to regain the Polish corri- dor increased the attachment of the Poles to France.
 Poland in Queer Spot
 On the other hand, a number of differences have risen between France and Poland in recent years. Marshal Pilsudski, virtual dictator of Poland, fought against the Russians all his life and nat urally considers Russia the great est enemy of Poland. French mill

Consequently. responsible authorities here believe that 1t has not progressed very far and that 1t is merely based upon z certain points of similarity in the Japa- nese and German positions.
 The most obvious of these points is that both countries have withdrawn from the league. Both, therefore, are more or less out casts from the Geneva family of nations.
 Two Against Communism
 Both countries, too, have com mon interests where Russia is concerned. Observers point out that Japan, as well as Germany, has an interest in checking the growth of communism. Moreover,
