Hitler's Choice.

Upon the outcome of Sir John
Simon's visit in Berlin this week the
immediate peace of Europe depends.
There is no indication that the United
States intends formally to associate
itself with the allies protest against
Germany's violation of the treaty of
Versailles. Secretary Hull, on the eve
Of the British foreign secretary'S mo-
mentous mission, took occasion to en-
phasize that the moral influence Of
the American people continues to be
on the side of the sanctity of inter-
national pacts. To that extent Sir
John Simon, in voicing at Berlin the
Western powers resentment of Ger
many's rearmament plans, will reflect
the sentiments which have been
aroused in this country by Hitler's
defiant action.
Great Britain, France and Italy pre-
sent united front against the Nazi
peril to peace. They have made sepa-
rate diplomatic representations at
Berlin, but for every practical purpose
Sir John Simon speaks there for all
three governments. That is an i'm
portant factor in what are described
as his exploratory" negotiations. 1t
is notorious that ever since the incep-
ton of the Anglo-French accord for
European appeasement Hitler hoped to
drive a wedge between Downing Street
and the Quai d'Orsay. For few days
last week it looked as if that strategy
had succeeded. The danger was
averted in consequence of meeting
In Paris on Saturday at which British,
French and Italian representatives
agreed upon the practicability of Sir
John Simons trip to Berlin and un-
dertook to model the subsequent action
of their respective governments upon
its results. The allied powers will
resume their conversations at Stresa,
Italy, after this weeks discussions in
Berlin, and, even more significantly,
after Capt. Anthony Eden, British
lord privy seal. has visited Warsaw
and Moscow.
From all these arrangements, it
must be apparent to Hitler that
Europe is prepared to meet force with
force-with an invincible ring Of steel
If the Reich insists upon remaining
aloof from collective action for peace,
including limitation of armaments by
general agreement. The menace is
not so much the recreation Of vast
German armed power on land, in
the air and at sea. The question is,
what does Hitler intend to do with
his army of 100000 men and his air
armada? He protests that their pur-
pose is purely peaceful. He can beat
that pledge into deeds by entering an
Eastern Locarno'' binding Germany
not to seek any disturbance OF the
territorial status quo in the Baltic
area or in domains now Russian, and
by renouncing German designs on the
independence of Austria. Czechoslo-
vakia, Belgium, Denmark, Poland,
Lithuania crave assurance that Maxi
militarism will not be synonymous
with aggression.
If Hitler is ready to say. in short,
that his proposed thirty-six divisions
and Goering's air feet are not de-
signed to redraw the map of Europe
and create the Third Reich of Na1
dreams, the allied powers probably
will reconcile themselves to German
facts already largely accomplished.
Any refusal in Berlin categorically to
renounce a program of conquest must
automatically lead to adequate meas
ures to thwart German purposes. The
Fuehrer's choice is clear.

If no hand chung to my own for

disorganizing to the administration
forces. In the end, despite the
urgings of organized labor, enough of
the friends Of the Roosevelt New Deal
in the Senate swung over and made
the McCarran amendment a mere

of revolt on Capitol Hill has really
been broken, however, is a question.
While the Senate was putting the
finishing touches on the nearly five
billion dollar appropriation bill for
relief the House was jamming through
the Patman soldiers bonus bill, which
calls for an expenditure of $2,300,-
600, 900. The bonus bill provides the
money to pay the veterans-green-
backs. If it should become law, de-
spite the presidential opposition, 1t
