British Notify Nazis
They Back the French
By PIERRE HUSS

BERLIN, July 13 Q.N.S0.-The
British government, only a few
hours before Chancellor Hitler
was to address the Reichstag
with what is expected to be an
emphatic protest against the en-
circlement of Germany, today
served formal notice upon the
Reich that England Is support
ing the French proposal for an
Eastern Locarno."
Sir Eric Phipps, British Ambas-
sador, called at the foreign office
and informed Baron KonStantin
Won Neurath, Foreign Minister,
that Anglo-French collaboration
in developing regional mutual as
sistance pactS to preserve peace
on the European continent had
been assured as the result Of the
recent visit to London Of Louis
Barthou, French Foreign Minis
ter.
International News Service first
carried the news, in dispatches
from London and Paris, that such
an agreement had been reached.
The British Ambassadors visit,
it is generally believed, was timed
on the very day and a few hours
in advance of Hitler'S statement
to the world, to forestall any
declaration by his part that Brit
aims attitude was not known.
1t may cause the Chancellor to
make last-minute changes in the
speech he is to deliver ct about

italy Will Support
Eastern l0Carn0 Pact

ROME, July 13 G.N.S0.-A few
hours before the scheduled Hitler
speech, the Italian government
issued a statement this afternoon,
blessing the proposed Franco-Rus-
sian German pact, known as the
Eastern Locarno, and the first sug-
gested by Louis Barthou, French
Foreign minister.
Italy gave her approval, how
ever, an official statement said,
because the original plan had been
altered in London conversations
between M. Barthou and Sir John
Simon. British Foreign Secretary,
50 that Germany which has
strongly opposed it, should now. in
the Italian view find it acceptable.
The statement said:
'In the London conversations
between M. BarthOu and Sir
John Simon, the pact was
practically altered 50 that i'm
stead of being directed against
Germany it became = new pro-
pOsal placing Germany and
Russia on the same footing.
Moreover, the new protocols
give implicit recognition to the
parity claimed by Germany and
against which no reservations
can now be justified.
Italy, which has no direct
interest in the eastern frontier
outside of interests Of . general
character for . European settle
ment has followed the same At
titude as Great Britain that
there is no new engagement
outside the LOcarnO treaty and
has given favorable considers
tiOn to the new pact"

BERLIN, July 13 U.N.S0 Adolf
Hitler defies fate today, Friday
the thirteenth, as he speaks from
that stage they still call 'The
Reichstag" to his party, his people
and the world.
Friday the thirteenth Is an un.
lucky day in the German popular
mind, as 1t is in the minds Of many
other peoples. Hitler Is In the
midst Of the worst misfortune he
has ever encountered since he
came into power, but Hitler has
chosen today to throw the battal-
ions Of his oratory against his enc
mics at home, abroad and in the
heavens.
Ghosts Of the Slain
For against Hitler today are
three great armies. At home the
hostile forces are led by no man in
name, but leaders Of this army are
Nazi disunity, national disillusion.
ment and national fear for the
future. Unidentified and out Of
sight is that dangerous figure re-
venge.
Between Hitler and his hearers
today there stand ghosts Of dead
men. How many there are the
German public has not yet been
told. They are dead enemies OF
Hitler, but there are dead friends,
too, all traitors he declares, but
all are men who left friends be-
hind them.
The field marshal Of the Sec
ond army against Hitler is gen.
eral world opinion.
Under this field marshal march
Germany's lost credit, lost mar
kets, lost friends.
Can Only Hope
But more important than either
of these two armies is the third.
It's commander i'm n-chief is nature,
it's regiments are drought, crop
failure, food and goods shortage,
while off in the distance can be
distinguished shadows Of those
menacing shock troops, famine
and national bankruptcy.
Hitler may be able to conciliate
his party, reassure his people.
Propitiate world opinion, but
against the third army Of an i'll
willed. nature, Hitler can do
nothing but wait, hope and pray
to that Teuton god Germany has
adopted.
Until this week observers had
been inclined to predict for the
economic future of the Hitler
regime nothing worse than a
slow decline of the standard of
living so gradual that people
would hardly perceive it.
Now drought has gone for an
other week. every day of it kills
thousands of tons of crops.
Fields are drying under a saw
age sun and revision of crop esti-
mates is necessary daily.
Neutral authorities declare an
other ten days of drought will
halve the winter crop of potatoes.
The winter crop is the chief re.
lance of food in this country
where the population normally
consumes more potatoes per head
than almost anywhere else in the
world.

civilian clothes, watched the pro-
