WARSAW, March 19.-There
will be no war in Europe today
but war tomorrow, in terms OF
years, cannot row be stopped.
Germany will get away with 1t
today. She is already too strong
to be attacked. She is still toe
weak to attack.
This is the eastern Europe view
80 hours after Hitler shocked the
world with announcement Ger
many had repudiated the military
clauses Of Versailles and estab
lished an army of SO divisions.
The Poles play great role in
the European lineup at this mo-
ment, which the late King Alex
ander of Yugoslavia told your cor
respondent would be the turning
point in this continents history
A few months before his murder
Alexander said:
'When Germany openly de.
nOunceS the Versailles treaty and
openly rearms, that is the time
to ask will war Gomez"
NOW this time mas come.

GREETING so many Of his troops

border.
AS always, Hitler surprised his
opponents and today he has in
his favor the fact that the only
way the allies could reply in kind
to Germany's defiance would be
by sanctions. The only effective
sanctions would be attempted oc
cupation Of the Rhineland or the
Ruhr. But that would mean
grown-up war.
Poland would definitely refuse
to help the French, at any rate at
the beginning, and If Soviet Rus.
Sia attempts to send troops across
Poland against Germany, the sen.
timent here is that Poland would
join Germany.
Hitler's moment for his audar
cious move was chosen with un.
canny appreciation Of the right
time.
The eastern pact is not yet con-
cluded and Poland is still stand

philanthropy being its Educa-

been in operation for more
than 81 years. 1t now has in
this fund and the Endowment
Fund to it an investment Of
nearly $500, 900. The first loan
was made to an Iowa girl in
1907, and since that date loans
have been made to some 2,2OO
girls.
Another philanthropy OF

clined to support the views of capital.
Lewis came to the Senate subcom-
mittee to advocate the 30-hour week
bill. He urged this legislation with
his accustomed vigor. He also said
that the security and social insurance
program could not succeed unless men
were put back to work, and this could
not be done without shortening the
work week.
1t was in the midst Of his argument
that Lewis suddenly struck out at
Richberg and pictured him as "a
traitor for whom he had personal
contempt" AS Lewis hammered the
table, Green, who sat near, grimly
nodded his head in approval.

retary of Labor and former legisla-
tive representative Of the A. F. of L.,
close friend of Gen. Hugh s. johnson,
former administrator of the N. r. A,

discussion Of the 30-hour measure.
After the hearing was over group Of
his aides crowded about him and COM

The outburst Of Lewis against
Richberg recalled the historic break
between the head of the National
Emergency Council and Gen. john
son. The latter Is understood to be
bitter against Richberg and to feel
he undermined him as the N, r. A.
head.
Interesting as was the break be-
tween johnson and Richberg, the po-
litical possibilities of the break be-
tween organized labor and the ad-
ministration are looked on as far.

Not only Is Richberg under fierce
assault from the direction of labor,
but DR.. Leo Wolman, chairman of
both the N. r. A. Labor Advisory

AS Lewis hit at Richberg in the
Senate committee hearing, it was dis

were sharply divided on the work week

the board want the 4S-hour week cur
tailed. while two take the opposite
view.
While reports Of differences in the

to the fact that Richberg came to

By the Associated Press.
A stronger life-saving patrol for
the dangerous sea paths that have
claimed many lives In major disasters
during the last few months Is now
provided by the Coast Guard with
public works funds.
The Public Works Administration
announced yesterday that cutters,
9 patrol boats, tugs and 10 new
amphibion planes had been COM
pleted and assigned to service. In ad-
dition, it said, numerous other repairs
to ships, hangers and station buildings
have been undertaken.
The new cutters are equipped for
heavy ice breaking. They we're as

The planes and patrol boats were

Richberg at the outset Of N. r. A.

Since he has been made executive

In some respects. 1t was explained,
the power of the controller general is

much about the controller general as
with Congress. Since the controller
general, like the Court of Claims, for

general that the President has the
power to oust him.
This contention is predicated on a
decision of the Supreme Court in
1925 in the famed Meyer postmaster
ship case.
The case involved Pacific Coast
postmaster who was ousted by Presi-
dent Coolidge and sought to compel
the Government to pay him his salary
for the remainder of his term on the
ground that as his appointment had
been approved by the Senate he could
not be removed without the consent
of that body.
The Supreme Court rejected Meyers
claim, holding that under the powers
given the President in article 2 Of the
Constitution, he can dismiss any
Government official who holds his job
by virtue Of presidential appointment.
