BRITAINS DELAY
PUTS HITLER IN
DIFFICULT SPOT
Hardness in Warning NaziS
May Result in War,
Experts Fear.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SINIMS
scripps-Howzrd Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, April 2o.-The
dismaying thought that once more
Great Britain may have waited the
usual Is minutes too long," when the
fate of Europe was in the balance
and the decision was up to her, to-
day pervades the capitals of the
world.
Encircled by a potential coalition
with approximately three million
bayonets already flashing under the
colors, Germany, this writer learns,
will shortly be pressed to join
collective peace pact as her way out.
For Chancellor Adolf Hitler to
adopt such a plan will, admittedly,
be extremely difficult. He is now
publicly committed to rearmament.
His program has been frenziedly &C
claimed by his followers. To back
down at this late day might prove
fatal to his prestige.
1t Is dangerous, it is pointed out,
for even an imperial ruling house,
with centuries of dazzling back
ground, to submit to foreign pres
sure. Dictators who rise from OBJ
scurity survive only as long as they
succeed, in one fashion or another.
Hitler Must Stand Firm
Chancellor Hitler-former Aus
TRAN houSe-painter and army cor
poral-apparently has been placed
in an exceedingly difficult spot.
Britain, 1t is said, by informing Ber-
lin little earlier how she stood,
might we'll have prevented Hitler
from getting so far out on limb.
Great Britain is known to have
been informed beyond any POSSIBLE
ity or doubt fully a year ago that
Germany was rearming day and
night. She was approached at that
time with a view to discreet, but
concerted, diplomatic action at Ber-
lin to prevent things going too far.
She was warned that delay was
dangerous to the peace of Europe.
She was reminded that her tardi-
ness in stating her position in 1914 is
said by historians to have made the
World War inevitable. And history
has a way of repeating.
Britain's delay has been largely
instrumental in placing Chancellor
Hitler between the devil and the
deep sea. Opposed to his stand on
ornaments are the governments of
Russia, with approximately 1000 900
men under arms; Italy, with $780,
900; France, with 100000; the Little
Entente, with 100000; Belgium, with
100000, and Great Britain with her
army and navy.
Rhine Situation Tense
On the other hand, he is about to
be given the option of returning to
the League of Nations and the dis
armament conference as the only
way out of his predicament. opinion
is divided as to what would happen
to his personal political fortunes If
he backed down.

backed into a corner, he may strike
back by fortifying the Rhineland.
Should he do this, Britain would
have to back France if France oc-
cupied the Rhineland to stop Ger

JOHNSON GIVEN
COURTEOUS EAR
AT NRA HEARING
Never Treated Better in His
Life, General Says of
Senate Group.
BY GEN. HUGH JOHNSON

WASHINGTON. April 20 have
Just completed my testimony before
the Senate Finance Committee on
the bill for extending NRA.
The first thing I did was to kill a
story that I had written and sent
out for this column, on hundreds Of
complaints that the hearings were
a star chamber political process. l
am sending this story to you in its
place
I have never been more cOurte-
ously treated. Even from mn who
were supposed to be hostile, I got
a more than fair hearing. They
even sat while I droned through
10000 written words or 40 times the
length Of this column. I thought
] had to hit all the high places Of
MIRA criticism. Any man who ell
dUres 10000 words of reading de-
serves a crown hereafter. I couldn't.
All the horrendous confidential
stories about senatorial enemies
coming to throw me to the lions
proved wrong 1t was a real ef-
fort to get the controlling facts.
There was one sizzler: Didn't yo'.
say 'NRA is as dead as a dodo?' A"
hadn't quite said that but had
said something so near it as to
justify the story. I had said the
administration Of NRA is as dead
as the dodo which is not only dead
but extinct" 1 was talking about
the inability of any board to do the
executive job of NRA.
1 still think that no board can
do an executive job. You have to
have action and decision in NRA.
-Four days ago I began to review
the hearings of the Senate COM
mittee in this case and all the facts.
figures and reports on NRA. I was
trying to prepare myself for this star
chamber. The time was so short
that I had to spend 20 hours a day
for 3 days to get ready. I found
that what my successors have
quietly done since I left is marvel
Gus. 1t would have been less than
Justice to have failed to qualify my
wise-crack-which is usually the
way with wise-cracks.
Leon Henderson, Blackwell Smith,
TED Kreps. John Hamm, Alvin
Brown, Milton Katz and Pat John
ston. representing all principal de-
partments of NRA, sat up with me
to all hours of the day and night
for 70 hours days and 2 nights.
Marshall Coles of NRA publicity,
Ruth Yannet and the whole NRA
reproducing section worked all night
on their own time TO get out my
statement and mimeograph copies,
including many charts.
Tribute for williams
It was like the good old days.
labor of love. There is something
in that NRA crowd that makes it
not a bureau.
My one regret was that in proving
NRA's problem with big industry,
I had to talk about the tobacco in
dustry. Some people imputed criti..
cism Of Clay Williams-the best man
that ever came to MIRA. neglected
to say what I should have at all
events added.
From the day he saw NRA, Clay
Williams refused to let anybody
even mention tobacco to him. 1t
was an inexcuSable omission not to
say that.

sales has averaged "a per cent, and
that ''if automobile sales continue to

income Is climbing, and the relative
changes in automobile car sales. dis
